This is a connector that provides access to the Neo4j graph database via JDBC driver. Allows to query Neo4j using Cypher language, and use results in dashboards, data augmentation panels, or via the JS API.
To create a new Neo4j connection, open the "Databases" pane (Open | Databases), right-click on Neo4j, and choose "Add connection...". Then, enter the connection details, click TEST to make sure you've entered everything correctly, and click SAVE. Note that by default, the connection will only be accessible to you, so you will have to share it in order for others to use it. Check out creating a connection for more details.
Once a connection is created, it's time to create a query.
Right-click on the connection, select "Add query", and enter the Cypher query. Press F5 to run query (this is useful for debugging); once you are satisfied with the results, press SAVE to save it on the server.
Note that you can introduce parameters to the query. This is an incredibly powerful concept that allows Cypher queries to be used as functions, or become info panels.
See query editor for details.
A query is a function, and therefore could be used for multiple purposes in many different contexts. Here are some of them:
- Executed manually
- From the query editor
- From the "Functions" pane
- As part of expression for calculated columns
- As an info panel
- From JS API
