If I execute the above query from CQL shell, it doesn't work for me at all... This is what I get -
cqlsh:pp> insert into test_new (employee_id, employee_name, value, last_modified_date) values ('1', 'e29', 'some_new_value', now()) if not exists ; Bad Request: line 1:123 missing EOF at 'if' Is there anything I am missing here?
