It can be frustrating when it seems like a WHERE clause isn't working. You can use these approaches to figure out what's wrong. Check for WHERE clauses following OPTIONAL MATCH WHERE clauses can't be used on their own, they are always paired with a M...
When creating a constraint, for example CREATE CONSTRAINT ON (n:ZipCode) ASSERT n.name IS UNIQUE; this will require a lock on all nodes with the label the constraint is being created for, in this case ZipCode If you have another transaction which w...
In most Neo4j server environments, all logs will be found in NEO4J_HOME/logs. However, when Neo4j is running as a service on a Ubuntu (debian) Linux environment, usually installed via apt-get install neo4j or similar, the neo4j.log is not present. To...
For Neo4j 2.3+ there is no object cache anymore, so this warms up the page-cache which maps the Neo4j store files into memory. You may find that some queries run much faster the second time they run. This is because on cold boot, a server node has no...
APOC Procedures offers meta procedures to view information about your database schema and the data it stores. The procedure apoc.meta.schema() uses a sampling of the graph data to produce a map of metadata on the graph labels, relationships, properti...
The following document describes how to utilize the Zendesk API to load data from Zendesk into Neo4j, specifically data about users who have choosen to subscribe/follow Knowledge Base section(s). This document attempts to solve the issue described b...
The following can be used to extract user and role defintions from an existing database and the resultant output can be played back on another Neo4j database. <!-- //export roles --> return '//export Roles' as output union all call dbms.security.list...
Commencing with Neo4j 3.0.x and the introduction of stored procedures as well as APOC one can utilize the stored procedure apoc.create.addLabels to move a property to a label with Cypher as follows <!-- // create a node with property studio --> creat...
Prior to Neo4j 3.0, if you wanted to parse the JSON results from a call to a Web API, it would require you use one of the database drivers to fetch and parse the JSON data. This is described here. With the inclusion of stored procedures as part of Ne...
Commencing with Neo4j 3.1 and implementaion of native database users it is possible to suspend a user, thus preventing the user from further authenticating in. To view all suspended users run the following Cypher call dbms.security.listUsers() yield ...
Some use cases require updating node (or relationship) properties, but returning the node (or relationship) as it was prior to the update. You'll need to get a 'snapshot' of the node before the update, and return that snapshot instead of the node its...
In Neo4j, since there is no table schema or equivalent to restrict possible properties, non-existence and null are equivalent for node and relationship properties. That is, there really is no such thing as a property with a null value; null indicates...
The easiest way to determine the size of your graph is through the filesystem and summing up the size of the files named \*store.db*. For example on linux implmentations one can run du -hc $NEO4J_HOME/data/databases/graph.db/*store.db* and this shou...
Tuning Cypher queries by understanding cardinality Cardinality issues are the most frequent culprit in slow or incorrect Cypher queries. Because of this, understanding cardinality, and using this understanding to manage cardinality issues, is a criti...
In some situations, you may see a log message or exception that refers to a store format version, and it is not clear which Neo4j store format it is referring to. Please use the table below to map store format versions to Neo4j Server versions. Note:...
