Hi.

Is there a way to connect to my Cassandra server from Ignition and store tag data or similar, in order to build a big data system using NoSQL? Maybe through a script or something like that?

I’m not familiar with Cassandra, but you’ll need a JDBC driver to even get started. I’d give this a shot as a start:

> **[GitHub - ing-bank/cassandra-jdbc-wrapper: A JDBC wrapper of Java Driver for Apache...](https://github.com/ing-bank/cassandra-jdbc-wrapper)**

> A JDBC wrapper of Java Driver for Apache Cassandra®, which offers a simple JDBC compliant API to work with CQL3.

I already have Cassandra installed on my server, I even have the .jar file and it loads successfully using DbSchema, which is a type of Workbench that lets me load the NoSQL database, and it works for me. But now I would need to know how to load the JDBC into Ignition so that it can read or insert data from there. Is it possible to do that?
