I would like to find the name node which trade with three fruits only.
I tried to use the following code in neo4j.
match (s:good)-[r:TRADES]-(n:Name)-[:TRADES]-(p:good)
WHERE (s.good = 'Apple' or s.good='Orange') and p.stock ='Grapes'
return s,n,p
where it returns the query as below.
However, I just want the following. Just the one who trade Grapes, Orange and Apple only.
I don't know which part of the cypher is incorrect. thank you for helping
We have a knowledge base article on match intersection, what you're trying to do here, however your other restriction is that these are the only 3 connected nodes, so we have some additional work to do.
Using the first approach in the article, we just have to add an additional predicate to ensure the degree of :TRADES relationships equals the size of the collection:
WITH ['Apple', 'Orange', 'Grapes'] as names
MATCH (g:good)<-[:TRADES]-(n:Name)
WHERE g.good in names AND size((n)-[:TRADES]->()) = size(names)
WITH n, size(names) as inputCnt, count(DISTINCT g) as cnt
WHERE cnt = inputCnt
RETURN n

Given that I'm very new to Neo4j. I have a schema which looks like the below image:
Here Has nodes are different for example Passport, Merchant, Driving License, etc. and also these nodes are describing the customer node (looking for future scope of filtering customers based on these nodes).
SIMILAR is a self-relation meaning there exists a customer with ID:1 is related to another customer with ID:2 with a score of 2800.
I have the following questions:
Is this a good schema given the condition of the future scope I mentioned above, or getting all the properties in a single customer node is viable? (Different nodes may have array of items as well, for example: ()-[:HAS]->(Phone) having {active: "+91-1231241", historic_phone_numbers: ["+91-121213", "+91-1231421"]})
I want to get the customer along with describing nodes in relation to other customers. For that, I tried the below query (w/o number of relation more than 1):
// With number_of_relation > 1
MATCH (searched:Customer)-[r:SIMILAR]->(matched:Customer)
WHERE r.score > 2700
WITH searched, COLLECT(matched.customer_id) AS MatchedList, count(r) as cnt
WHERE cnt > 1
UNWIND MatchedList AS matchedCustomer
MATCH (person:Customer {customer_id: matchedCustomer})-[:HAS|:LIVES_IN|:IS_EMPLOYED_BY]->(related)
RETURN searched, person, related
Result what I got is below, notice one customer node not having its describing nodes:
// without number_of_relation > 1
// second attempt - for a sample customer_id
MATCH (matched)<-[r:SIMILAR]-(c)-[:HAS|:LIVES_IN|:IS_EMPLOYED_BY]->(b)
WHERE size(keys(b)) > 0
AND c.customer_id = "1b093559-a39b-4f95-889b-a215cac698dc"
AND r.score > 2700
RETURN b AS props, c AS src_cust, r AS relation, matched
Result I got are below, notice related nodes are not having their describing nodes:
If I had two describing nodes with some property (some may have a list) upon which I wanted to query and build the expected graph specified in point 2 above, how can I do that?
I want the database to find a similar customer given the describing nodes. Example: A customer {name: "Dave"} has phone {active_number: "+91-12345"} is similar to customer {name: "Mike"} has phone {active_number: "+91-12345"}. How can get started with this?
If something is unclear, please ask. I can explain with examples.
[EDITED]
Yes, the schema seems fine, except that you should not use the same HAS relationship type between different node label pairs.
The main problem with your first query is that its top MATCH clause uses a directional relationship pattern, ()-->(), which does not allow all Customer nodes to have a chance to be the searched node (because some nodes may only be at the tail end of SIMILAR relationships). This tweaked query should work better:
MATCH (searched:Customer)-[r:SIMILAR]-(matched:Customer)
WHERE r.score > 2700
WITH searched, COLLECT(matched) AS matchedList
WHERE SIZE(matchedList) > 1
UNWIND matchedList AS person
MATCH (person)-[:HAS|LIVES_IN|IS_EMPLOYED_BY]->(pDesc)
WITH searched, person, COLLECT(pDesc) AS personDescribers
MATCH (searched)-[:HAS|LIVES_IN|IS_EMPLOYED_BY]->(sDesc)
RETURN searched, person, personDescribers, COLLECT(sDesc) AS searchedDescribers
It's not clear what you want are trying to do.
To get all Customers who have the same phone number:
MATCH (c:Customer)-[:HAS_PHONE]-(p:Phone)
WHERE p.activeNumber = '+91-12345'
WITH p.activeNumber AS phoneNumber, COLLECT(c) AS customers
WHERE SIZE(customers) > 1
RETURN phoneNumber, customers
I want to see only the nodes labeled ':Context' that are connected to all (or the maximum) number of the nodes labeled ':Concept'.
I'm currently using a query:
match (c:Concept), (ctx:Context), (c)-[r]->(ctx) where (c.name = 'italy' or c.name = 'pick') return ctx,c;
This gives out the following result:
How would I remove all the unnecessary green nodes (they are the ones of the ':Context' type) and only leave those, which are connected both to "pick" and "italy" :Concept nodes?
I also want to be able to perform the same search for 3 nodes and more. Can't understand what's the best way to do that (with or without APOC).
This query below works:
match (c1:Concept{name:"italy"})-->(ctx:Context)<--(c2:Concept{name:"pick"}) return ctx;
but only for 2 items. What if I want to do the same for 3 or more?
this one is too slow:
match (c1:Concept{name:"italy"})-->(ctx:Context)<--(c2:Concept{name:"pick"})-->(ctx:Context)<--(c3:Concept{name:"novice"}) return ctx;
Thanks!
You can match as many branches as you want in additional matches like this
match (c1:Concept{name:"italy"})-->(ctx:Context)<--(c2:Concept{name:"pick"})
match (c3:Concept{name:"france"})-->(ctx)
return ctx;
Although, I would recommend using params as they are more reusable. So assuming you have the param 'list' that contains ["italy", france", "pick"]
MATCH (c:Concept)
WHERE c.name in $list
WITH COLLECT(c) as concepts
MATCH (ctx:Context)
WHERE ALL(c in concepts WHERE (c)-->(ctx))
RETURN ctx
Suppose I have two kinds of nodes, Person and Competency. They are related by a KNOWS relationship. For example:
(:Person {id: 'thiago'})-[:KNOWS]->(:Competency {id: 'neo4j'})
How do I query this schema to find out all Person that knows all nodes of a set of Competency?
Suppose that I need to find every Person that knows "java" and "haskell" and I'm only interested in the nodes that knows all of the listed Competency nodes.
I've tried this query:
match (p:Person)-[:KNOWS]->(c:Competency) where c.id in ['java','haskell'] return p.id;
But I get back a list of all Person that knows either "java" or "haskell" and duplicated entries for those who knows both.
Adding a count(c) at the end of the query eliminates the duplicates:
match (p:Person)-[:KNOWS]->(c:Competency) where c.id in ['java','haskell'] return p.id, count(c);
Then, in this particular case, I can iterate the result and filter out results that the count is less than two to get the nodes I want.
I've found out that I could do it appending consecutive match clauses to keep filtering the nodes to get the result I want, in this case:
match (p:Person)-[:KNOWS]->(:Competency {id:'haskell'})
match (p)-[:KNOWS]->(:Competency {id:'java'})
return p.id;
Is this the only way to express this query? I mean, I need to create a query by concatenating strings? I'm looking for a solution to a fixed query with parameters.
with ['java','haskell'] as skills
match (p:Person)-[:KNOWS]->(c:Competency)
where c.id in skills
with p.id, count(*) as c1 ,size(skills) as c2
where c1 = c2
return p.id
One thing you can do, is to count the number of all skills, then find the users that have the number of skill relationships equals to the skills count :
MATCH (n:Skill) WITH count(n) as skillMax
MATCH (u:Person)-[:HAS]->(s:Skill)
WITH u, count(s) as skillsCount, skillMax
WHERE skillsCount = skillMax
RETURN u, skillsCount

Untested, but this might do the trick:
match (p:Person)-[:KNOWS]->(c:Competency)
with p, collect(c.id) as cs
where all(x in ['java', 'haskell'] where x in cs)
return p.id;
How about this...
WITH ['java','haskell'] AS comp_col
MATCH (p:Person)-[:KNOWS]->(c:Competency)
WHERE c.name in comp_col
WITH comp_col
, p
, count(*) AS total
WHERE total = length(comp_col)
RETURN p.name, total
Put the competencies you want in a collection.
Match all the people that have either of those competencies
Get the count of compentencies by person where they have the same number as in the competency collection from the start
I think this will work for what you need, but if you are building these queries programatically the best performance you get might be with successive match clauses. Especially if you knew which competencies were most/least common when building your queries, you could order the matches such that the least common were first and the most common were last. I think that would chunk down to your desired persons the fastest.
It would be interesting to see what the plan analyzer in the sheel says about the different approaches.
I have a Graph database with over 2 million nodes. I have an application which takes a social graph and does some inference on it. As one step of the algorithm, I have to get all possible combinations of a relationship [:friends] of two connected nodes. Currently, I have a query which looks like:
match (a)-[:friend]-(c), (b)-[:friend]-(d) where id(a)={ida} and id(b)={idb} return distinct c as first, d as second
So, I already know the nodes a and b and I want to get all the possible pairs that can be made from friends of a and b.
This is obviously a very slow operation. I was wondering if there is a more efficient way of getting the same result in neo4j. Perhaps adding indexes might help? Any ideas / clues are welcome!
Example
Node a has friends : x, y
Node b has friends : g, h, i``
Then the result should be:
x,g
x,h
x,i
y,g
y,h
y,i`
If you are not already you should use labels to speed up your query, which might look like:
MATCH (p1:Person)-[:FRIEND]->(p3:Person),(p2:Person)-[:FRIEND]->(p4:Person)
WHERE ID(p1) = 6 AND ID(p2) = 7
RETURN p3 as first, p4 as second
Obviously that will rely on you having created your nodes with a :Person label.
How many friends does the average node have?
I wouldn't use two patterns but just one and the IN operator.
MATCH (p:Person)-[:FRIEND]->(friend:Person)
WHERE id(p) IN [1,2,3]
RETURN p, collect(friend) as friends
Then you have no cross product and you can also return the friends nicely as collection per person.
I have a scenario where I have more than 2 random nodes.
I need to get all possible paths connecting all three nodes. I do not know the direction of relation and the relationship type.
Example : I have in the graph database with three nodes person->Purchase->Product.
I need to get the path connecting these three nodes. But I do not know the order in which I need to query, for example if I give the query as person-Product-Purchase, it will return no rows as the order is incorrect.
So in this case how should I frame the query?
In a nutshell I need to find the path between more than two nodes where the match clause may be mentioned in what ever order the user knows.
You could list all of the nodes in multiple bound identifiers in the start, and then your match would find the ones that match, in any order. And you could do this for N items, if needed. For example, here is a query for 3 items:
start a=node:node_auto_index('name:(person product purchase)'),
b=node:node_auto_index('name:(person product purchase)'),
c=node:node_auto_index('name:(person product purchase)')
match p=a-->b-->c
return p;

I actually just made a blog post about how start works, which might help:
http://wes.skeweredrook.com/cypher-it-all-starts-with-the-start/
Wouldn't be acceptable to make several queries ? In your case you'd automatically generate 6 queries with all the possible combinations (factorial on the number of variables)
A possible solution would be to first get three sets of nodes (s,m,e). These sets may be the same as in the question (or contain partially or completely different nodes). The sets are important, because starting, middle and end node are not fixed.
Here is the code for the Matrix example with added nodes.
match (s) where s.name in ["Oracle", "Neo", "Cypher"]
match (m) where m.name in ["Oracle", "Neo", "Cypher"] and s <> m
match (e) where e.name in ["Oracle", "Neo", "Cypher"] and s <> e and m <> e
match rel=(s)-[r1*1..]-(m)-[r2*1..]-(e)
return s, r1, m, r2, e, rel;
The additional where clause makes sure the same node is not used twice in one result row.
The relations are matched with one or more edges (*1..) or hops between the nodes s and m or m and e respectively and disregarding the directions.
Note that cypher 3 syntax is used here.
