Creating a Graph DB

[roberto_torres_]

Hi, I'm learning everything related to Neo4j and I still don't fully understand when you create a DB, do I require to have the data that it's related to the nodes/labels/properties? Can I do the DB without data? My mindset for many years have been RDBMS related, so when I create a DB I don't require to have the data at first.

Hi Roberto,

I'd suggest you go to sandbox.neo4j.com and play with some existing samples. It's all free and so easy. Each project you create and open will use one Neo4j database automatically created for you and only you in the cloud. Select Blank Sandbox for an empty database.

Hope it helps,
Chris

Thanks Chris, after playing in that sandbox I understand now that I require to have the data to create the DB. This is a totally different approach from the one I've been used to, but I'll manage to comply with it.
