Use the INSERT statement to set custom Time to Live (TTL) values for new rows

Note

Before you can set custom TTL values for rows using the INSERT statement, you must first enable custom TTL on the table. For more information, see Update table with custom Time to Live (TTL).

To overwrite a table's default TTL value by setting expiration dates for individual rows, you can use the INSERT statement:

  • INSERT – Insert a new row of data with a TTL value set.

Setting TTL values for new rows using the INSERT statement takes precedence over the default TTL setting of the table.

The following CQL statement inserts a row of data into the table and changes the default TTL setting to 259,200 seconds (which is equivalent to 3 days).

INSERT INTO my_table (userid, time, subject, body, user)
        VALUES (B79CB3BA-745E-5D9A-8903-4A02327A7E09, 96a29100-5e25-11ec-90d7-b5d91eceda0a, 'Message', 'Hello','205.212.123.123')
        USING TTL 259200;

To confirm the TTL settings for the inserted row, use the following statement.

SELECT TTL (subject) from my_table;
