I have already read the API spesification. Honestly I do not understand
how to use it. Because there are not an examples.
For example I have a column like this:
UserName Password
usr1 abc
usr2 xyz
usr3 opm
suppose I want query the user's password using SQL in RDBMS
Select Password From Users Where UserName = "usr2";
Now I want to get the password using OODBMS DB4o Object Query and Java
ObjectSet QueryResult = db.query(new Predicate()
{
public boolean match(Users Myusers)
{
return Myuser.getUserName() == "usr2";
}
});
After we get the Users instance in the QueryResult, hence we can get the
usr2's password.
How we perform this query using Cassandra API and Java??
Would you tell me please?? Thank You.
