In-Depth Information
In addition to applying the Cypher parser version to all queries, you can set the global
configuration option to
cypher_parser_version
. This option is set in the
neo4j.properties file. For the location of this file in both the server and embedded modes,
look at
chapter 10
,
where we discuss different configuration options.
6.5. Summary
You've now been introduced to Cypher, Neo4j's query language. You've learned how to
execute Cypher queries against your graph database, how to write efficient Cypher quer-
ies to extract data from your graph, and how Cypher makes your queries simpler and more
readable, without sacrificing the performance of the traversals too much. The graph data-
manipulation feature also makes Cypher useful for all maintenance tasks in Neo4j.
In the next chapter, we're going to take a deep dive into Neo4j transactions.
