Neo4j Create Query
Posted By : Vipul Pandey | 28-Sep-2017
The CREATE clause in neo4j is used to create graph elements — nodes and relationships.
create(a:test) return a ;
This will create a node in neo4j and default
create(a:test{name:"vipul"}) return a ;
This will create a node in neo4j and default
We can similarly create multiple properties in the node.
create(add:Address{country:"India",capital:"DELHI"})
return add
creating a relationship between the nodes
match(a:test)
where a.name="vipul"
match(add:Address)
where add.Country="India"
create(a)-[rel:LIVES_IN]->(add)
return a,add
we can create multiple relationships between 2 nodes as
match(a:test)
where a.name="vipul"
match(add:Address)
where add.Country="India"
create(a)-[rel:BELONGS_TO]->(add)
return a,rel ,add
We can also set properties to the relation as :
match(a:test)
where a.name="vipul"
match(add:Address)
where add.Country="India"
create(a)-[rel:LIVES_IN{by:"birth"}]->(add)
return a,rel ,add
