# Working with CQL queries in Amazon Keyspaces
<a name="working-with-queries"></a>

This section gives an introduction into working with queries in Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra). The CQL statements available to query, transform, and manage data are `SELECT`, `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, and `DELETE`. The following topics outline some of the more complex options available when working with queries. For the complete language syntax with examples, see [DML statements (data manipulation language) in Amazon Keyspaces](cql.dml.md).
