Graph Databases

Page 7: Mastering Neo4j A Graph Database

Graph Databases

What is a graph database? Based on graph theory Data is stored as “nodes”, and

relationships as “edges” Nodes have attributes. Relationships have attributes

Page 8: Mastering Neo4j A Graph Database

Relational vs Graph

Relational Relationships are used to join entities together to get

results Data integrity is enforced through constraints

Graph Relationships are considered data Can easily “walk” from node to node using

relationships Can “walk” the graph in multiple directions in parallel

Just some of the many possibilities!

Page 16: Mastering Neo4j A Graph Database

CypherA Graph Query Language

Page 17: Mastering Neo4j A Graph Database

Queries

START[MATCH][WITH][WHERE]RETURN

[ORDER BY] [SKIP] [LIMIT]

Starting node(s)

Matching pattern (except properties)

Filter on propertiesProperties to return

Further conditions / calculations

Page 18: Mastering Neo4j A Graph Database

Query Example

START user=node:nodeIndexName(name={“Bob”})MATCH (user)-[:FRIEND]->(friend)WITH user, count(friend) as friendsWHERE friends > 10RETURN friend.nameORDER BY friend.nameLIMIT 100

Page 19: Mastering Neo4j A Graph Database

Query Parts

START user=node:nodeIndexName(name={“Bob”})made-

up identifi

er

object type

node property identifier

index name

property

value

Page 20: Mastering Neo4j A Graph Database

Query Parts

MATCH (user)-[:FRIEND]->(friend)

node node

relationship definition(including direction) Another

made-up identifier

Page 21: Mastering Neo4j A Graph Database

Query Parts

WITH user, count(friend) as friends

grouping node

calculation

alias

Page 22: Mastering Neo4j A Graph Database

Query Parts

WHERE friends > 10

property filter

Page 23: Mastering Neo4j A Graph Database

Query Parts

RETURN friend.nameORDER BY friend.nameLIMIT 100

Page 24: Mastering Neo4j A Graph Database

Query Example – All Together

START user=node:nodeIndexName(name={“Bob”})MATCH (user)-[:FRIEND]->(friend)WITH user, count(friend) as friendsWHERE friends > 10RETURN friend.nameORDER BY friend.nameLIMIT 100

This will return all nodes where they are friends with Bob, and that Bob has more than 10 friends, but limit to the first 100 found.

Page 25: Mastering Neo4j A Graph Database

Query Example – Matching

START user=node:nodeIndexName(name={“Bob”})MATCH (user)-[:FRIEND {since: “2001-01-01”} ]->(friend)RETURN friend.name

Since relationships have properties, we can search on them too!!

Page 26: Mastering Neo4j A Graph Database

Creating Data

CREATE [UNIQUE]*[SET | DELETE | FOREACH]*[RETURN [ORDER BY][SKIP][LIMIT]]

Page 27: Mastering Neo4j A Graph Database

Creating Data - Examples

CREATE (n {name: “Bob”})

made-up identifier

again

property

value

Page 28: Mastering Neo4j A Graph Database

Creating Data - Examples

CREATE (b {name: “Bob”}), (m {name: “Mary”}), (b)-[:KNOWS]->(m)

Creates two nodes with a relationship between them.This is called creating a path.

Page 29: Mastering Neo4j A Graph Database

Creating Data - ExamplesYou can combine queries with create options! This allows you to create parts of the graph starting from a particular node (or nodes)!

START b=node:nodeIndexName(name={“Bob”}), m=node:nodeIndexName(name={“Mary”})MATCH (b)-[:KNOWS]->(m)CREATE (b)-[:LOVES]->(m)
