i am trying to search for a way to import database from sql server to neo4j. I searched for a way if exist but i didn't find what i want. My case is : database contains many tables so i want to bring them to neo4j in one click ( if exist ) using a tools or writing dotnet program
There is no 'one-click' solution - but you said you're happy to write some code, so -- here we go!
Neo4j can import via JDBC, via a set of procedures called APOC (https://neo4j-contrib.github.io/neo4j-apoc-procedures/#_load_jdbc). To do this, you'll need the SQL Server JDBC driver (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/jdbc/microsoft-jdbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-2017).
And here (https://tbgraph.wordpress.com/2017/07/24/neo4j-apoc-load-jdbc/) is a blog describing the process, so that should get you all up and running!

I am trying to edit the settings of my AuraDB hosted neo4j instance, specifically, trying to set the following line:
apoc.import.file.enabled=true
I have looked at the official tutorial and many other places, and for the life of me, I am not able to find out where either the "settings" button is located, or how to locate the neo4j.conf or apoc.conf files. It seems that something has possibly changed in a newer version. I have tried both in the browser at https://console.neo4j.io/#databases and in Neo4J Desktop. For the desktop application, I am running it on Ubuntu via the .appimage. I created my database on the website and connected via remote connection following this guide.
Some things that might help me solve the issue:
Is it possible to open a shell in auradb to let me run normal bash commands?
Is the .conf accessible "within" the .appimage?
From the official description of File locations, I am supposedly able to do the following in Neo4j Desktop to find the configuration file:
From the Open dropdown menu of your Neo4j instance, select Terminal,
and navigate to /conf/neo4j.conf.
Yet, when I press the Open dropdown menu, I do not see a Terminal option. What I get is Neo4j Browser, Neo4j Bloom, and Neo4j ETL Tool.
Aura is a managed database - which is to say that you don't get low-level access to configuration of the kind you're describing. The documentation you're looking at relates to self-hosted instances of Neo4j, where you're the one managing and configuring the instance from scratch and where you have that level of access to the underlying configuration.
To the problem you're trying to solve, the following article entitled Loading data into Neo4j Aura is your best bet for the currently available options for loading data into your managed database.
Per the documentation, APOC is installed in Aura databases, but only a limited set of functions and procedures are enabled (as of May 2022). In particular, only a small subset of apoc.import procedures are available - from what I can see, CSV and GraphML support is enabled via apoc.load.csv and apoc.load.graphml, while you also have access to apoc.load.json and apoc.load.xml.
Lists of the currently supported procedures and functions are available at the foot of that document:
Neo4j Aura Supported APOC procedures (updated).json
Neo4j Aura Supported APOC functions (updated).json
From a Neo4j Aura Knowledge Article:
In Aura, we currently do not support changing any property that may
exist in the Neo4j product and defined in neo4j.conf.
My Neo4j version is community-4.2.4 in the Mac OS.
I used 'bin/neo4j-admin load --from=xxx/g.db.dump --database=xxx.db --force'. And succeed in finding db file in /data/databases as photo showed below.
enter image description here
But the result returned in Browser adding 'show databases' and cannot find the database what I want.
Thanks u guys all for helping me.

So neo4j-admin load and neo4j-admin restore take care of setting up the db in the filesystem. Back in the 3.5.x days this was enough, provided the name of the graph directory matched the name of the active graph configured in the neo4j.conf.
In Neo4j 4.x we support multidatabase, and the system database is where we can do things such as creating new databases, and if you CREATE DATABASE in the system db with the name of the new database, it will use just use the files it finds and create the entry in the system db, allowing you to use it and switch to it in Neo4j.
Since you're on community edition, you won't be able to create a new database, you're restricted to only the neo4j database, so your import would have to force it using neo4j as the db name, and it would overwrite your current neo4j db.
If you need to create multiple databases besides neo4j and system, then you need to be using enterprise edition.
I am really sorry to ask a simple question like this, but it is getting frustrating. I installed neo4j 4.0.4 on my Windows machine, created a new project as shown in the official tutorial video and set a password for my local graph. Funnily, the tutorial video ends after setting the password and opening the browser not showing how to perform Cypher queries on this newly created database. In neo4j Desktop my database is shown correctly and it seems to be up and running.
However, when I try to connect to this database via the browser, I do not see the database at all. It is so confusing when connecting to the server to specify a username and password, if you only need to set a password for your database?! The default neo4j user can see the system and default database but not my project database. In addition, I cannot link files from the project directory in Cypher queries. I tried to disable authentication, but it did not help at all.
When I issue SHOW DATABASES command, it does not list my database as well.
Update / Edit:
Seems I misunderstood the concept of projects. Every database is named neo4j - default, regardless of the name specified in the project ?!. However, I still cannot access project files. So far, I copied the files manually in the database directory under "imports". But I guess that is not the intended way.
After importing data to this default database, it still shows no data in the project itself.
Data files in the imports directory are not automatically imported into the DB. That is because neo4j has no idea how you want to store that data as nodes and relationships.
So, it is up to you to determine your desired data model, and then write the appropriate code to enforce that data model.
You can take a look at this page to learn about how to import CSV data (probably the most commonly used import data format).
I have created neo4j nodes and relationships from java code , i am trying to use Neo4j webadmin panel to display them as a graph.
I have changed server config property "org.neo4j.server.database.location" to point to the DB folder i have created from java program.
Is there any other changes i need to do in order to view the nodes and relationships? how to achieve the same?
Please guide.
You need to make sure your java program is shut down as it's not possible to access a graph.db directory more multiple Neo4j instances (1 server and 1 embedded in your example) at the same time.
Aside from this make sure you're using the same version.
I got Neoclipse, and I tried to import a neo4j db into it which was generated by this basic Neo4j hellow world program https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j/blob/2.0.0-M04/community/embedded-examples/src/main/java/org/neo4j/examples/EmbeddedNeo4j.java.
I am getting an error. I am attaching the error dialog box (as I was not able to copy the error text from the dialog for some strange reasons!)
But when I try to create a db through neo4j webadmin console, I was able to visualize that graph db in neoclipse.
Am I missing something here ?
Looks like Neoclipse may only support 1.9 databases, which are different on disk to 2.0 databases.
