I am new in neo4j and i am using "neo4j-community-3.0.1" . I want to switch database and retrieve nodes .After google i found how to switch database . But there is no file with name
conf/neo4j-server.properties
There are two files neo4j.conf and neo4j-wrapper.conf . But there is not any configuration such
org.neo4j.server.database.location=data/graph.db
Can any one help me how to switch database and i am able to see node using
browser
As of Neo4J 3.0, all the configuration files have been streamlined and unified into one file. Which is "neo4j.conf".
You need to change the DB path in this file.
If you are using Linux the file can be found at
/etc/neo4j/neo4j.conf
The actual entry you need to change will be
dbms.directories.data=/var/lib/neo4j/data
If you are using the windows client for Neo4J Community. You should have an option to browse to a database directory before starting the database.
Quoting this link.

"The new file, config and log structures in Neo4j 3.0 are designed to streamline operations and to bring Neo4j better into line with operational IT expectations. One notable change is to move from multiple config files to a single namespaced files."
The ops manual might also be of use to you.

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.
OR sending email for communicating more at masichengyo#gamil.com.
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).
This question came up on our team a few times.I don't know the real answer.
Can someone point out in the right direction to better understand why restart is needed after bulk importing CSV files?
Or is there an option to tell neo4j to silently point to new DB folder and no restart?
Cheers!
The import utility creates a previously non-existent database. Offline (that's the whole point), so Neo4j can not be running on that database and the resulting folder can not exist beforehand. So even if you use the default folder name (graph.db) you have to start Neo4j after the import. Or change neo4j.conf to point to the newly created folder and then start Neo4j. Either way you have to start/restart Neo4j ... changes to the configuration are not picked up by the software.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Tom
I am experimenting with several Neo4j databases in my machine. The databases have been generated and populated from Java programs.
Now I would like to inspect them.
It seems that the recommended way is to open the web console so it points to a specific database by means of configuring the property:
org.neo4j.server.database.location=<database location path>
in the neo4j configuration file: conf/neo4j-server.properties
This if fine if I am only interested in one database. But it does not look like a good idea if I am switching often between databases or if I want to explore more than one at the same time.
Is it possible to configure distinct web consoles (maybe using distinct ports) so they refer to my distinct databases?
And is it possible to do this without installing several instances (binaries) of Neo4j in my machine and having to modify lots of configuration files?
Yes! If you edit that same conf/neo4j-server.properties file you can change the org.neo4j.server.webserver.port and org.neo4j.server.webserver.https.port values (I normally set the https port to one less than the http port).
Once you've done that you run ./bin/neo4j start (make sure you shut down your Java app which is accessing the database first) to start the server on that port and then simply visit http://localhost:<port>
I'm not 100% sure if generating the database from Java will generate everything that you need for running a server. If not you can download Neo4j from http://neo4j.com/download/, make multiple copies of it, and replace the graph.db folder with yours one (make sure you shut down any processes which are accessing those databases before copying the directory). Also if you've downloaded a newer version you might need to set allow_store_upgrade=true (see: http://neo4j.com/docs/stable/deployment-upgrading.html)
You can have multiple Embedded Neo4j databases without installing separate binaries. You just need to be configure the different database path for each instance of the database.
