Cypher is a declarative graph query language that allows for expressive and efficient data querying in a property graph. [1]Cypher was largely an invention of Andrés Taylor while working for Neo4j, Inc. (formerly Neo Technology) in 2011. [2]
Neo4j is a graph database management system (GDBMS) developed by Neo4j Inc. The data elements Neo4j stores are nodes , edges connecting them, and attributes of nodes and edges.
The above examples are a simple illustration of a basic relationship query. They condense the idea of relational models' query complexity that increases with the total amount of data. In comparison, a graph database query is easily able to sort through the relationship graph to present the results.
For example, Apache Tinkerpop [13] forces each node and each edge to have a single label; Cypher allows nodes to have zero to many labels, but relationships only have a single label (called a reltype). Neo4j's database supports undocumented graph-wide properties, Tinkerpop has graph values which play the same role, and also supports ...
The following examples of Gremlin queries and responses in a Gremlin-Groovy environment are relative to a graph representation of the MovieLens dataset. [4] The dataset includes users who rate movies. Users each have one occupation, and each movie has one or more categories associated with it. The MovieLens graph schema is detailed below.
A query language, also known as data query language or database query language (DQL), is a computer language used to make queries in databases and information systems. In database systems, query languages rely on strict theory to retrieve information. [1] A well known example is the Structured Query Language (SQL).
Relational databases represent all relationships between data in an implicit manner only. [3] [4] For example, the relationships between customers and products (stored in two content-tables and connected with an additional link-table) only come into existence in a query statement (SQL in the case of relational databases) written by a developer.
The following example shows how the query must be extended to ensure a single supplier record is retrieved for each transaction. SELECT supplier . supplier_code , supplier . supplier_state FROM supplier INNER JOIN delivery ON supplier . supplier_key = delivery . supplier_key AND delivery . delivery_date >= supplier . start_date AND delivery ...
