Graph Fundamentals 基础

Basic concepts to get you going.

A graph database can store any kind of data using a few simple concepts:

  1. Nodes - graph data records 节点
  2. Relationships - connect nodes 关系
  3. Properties - named data values 属性

A Graph Database

Neo4j stores data in a Graph, with records called Nodes.

The simplest graph has just a single node with some named values called Properties. Let's draw a social graph of our friends on the Neo4j team:

  1. Start by drawing a circle for the node
  2. Add the name Emil
  3. Note that he is from Sweden
  • Nodes are the name for data records in a graph
  • Data is stored as Properties
  • Properties are simple name/value pairs 属性是简单的名称/值对
Neo4j 文档

Labels

Associate a set of nodes.

Nodes can be grouped together by applying a Label to each member. In our social graph, we'll label each node that represents a Person.

  1. Apply the label "Person" to the node we created for Emil
  2. Color "Person" nodes red
  • A node can have zero or more labels
  • Labels do not have any properties
Neo4j 文档

More Nodes

Schema-free, nodes can have a mix of common and unique properties.

Like any database, storing data in Neo4j can be as simple as adding more records. We'll add a few more nodes:

  1. Emil has a klout score of 99
  2. Johan, from Sweden, who is learning to surf
  3. Ian, from England, who is an author
  4. Rik, from Belgium, has a cat named Orval
  5. Allison, from California, who surfs
  • Similar nodes can have different properties
  • Properties can be strings, numbers, or booleans
  • Neo4j can store billions of nodes
Neo4j 文档

Consider Relationships

Connect nodes in the graph

The real power of Neo4j is in connected data. To associate any two nodes, add a Relationship which describes how the records are related.

In our social graph, we simply say who KNOWS whom:

  1. Emil KNOWS Johan and Ian
  2. Johan KNOWS Ian and Rik
  3. Rik and Ian KNOWS Allison
  • Relationships always have direction
  • Relationships always have a type
  • Relationships form patterns of data
Neo4j 文档

Relationship properties 关系属性

Store information shared by two nodes.

In a property graph, relationships are data records that can also contain properties. Looking more closely at Emil's relationships, note that:

  • Emil has known Johan since 2001
  • Emil rates Ian 5 (out of 5)
  • Everyone else can have similar relationship properties
Neo4j 文档

Next steps

A property graph contains nodes and relationships, with properties on both.

  • Neo4j Developer Manual

Introduction

Getting started with Neo4j Browser

Neo4j Browser is a command driven client, like a web-based shell environment. It is perfect for running ad-hoc graph queries, with just enough ability to prototype a Neo4j-based application.

  • Developer focused, for writing and running graph queries with Cypher
  • Exportable tabular results of any query result
  • Graph visualization of query results containing nodes and relationships
  • Convenient exploration of Neo4j's REST API

Editor

Command editing and execution

The editor is the primary interface for entering and running commands. Enter Cypher queries to work with graph data. Use client-side commands like:help for other operations.

  • Single line editing for brief queries or commands
  • Switch to multi-line editing with <shift-enter>
  • Run a query with <ctrl-enter>
  • History is kept for easily retrieving previous commands
Neo4j 文档

Stream 流

Scrolling series of result frames

A result frame is created for each command execution, added to the top of the stream to create a scrollable collection in reverse chronological order.

  • Special frames like data visualization
  • Expand a frame to full screen
  • Remove a specific frame from the stream
  • Clear the stream with the :clear command
Neo4j 文档

Frame code view

Viewing requests and responses

The code tab displays everything sent to and received from the Neo4j server, including:

  • Request URI, HTTP method and headers
  • Reponse HTTP response code and headers
  • Raw request and response content in JSON format
Neo4j 文档

Sidebar

Convenient clickable access

The sidebar expands to reveal different functional panels for common queries and information.

  • Database metadata and basic information
  • Saved scripts organized into folders
  • Information links for docs and reference
  • Credits and licensing information
Neo4j 文档

Neo4j is like a mashup of a REPL + lightweight IDE + graph visualization.

Cypher 图形查询语言

Neo4j's graph query language

Neo4j's Cypher language is purpose built for working with graph data.

  • uses patterns to describe graph data
  • familiar SQL-like clauses
  • declarative, describing what to find, not how to find it

CREATE

Create a node

Let's use Cypher to generate a small social graph.

CREATE (ee:Person { name: "Emil", from: "Sweden", klout: 99 })      
  • CREATE clause to create data
  • () parenthesis to indicate a node
  • ee:Person a variable 'ee' and label 'Person' for the new node
  • {} brackets to add properties to the node

MATCH

Finding nodes

Now find the node representing Emil:

MATCH (ee:Person) WHERE ee.name = "Emil" RETURN ee;      
  • MATCH clause to specify a pattern of nodes and relationships
  • (ee:Person) a single node pattern with label 'Person' which will assign matches to the variable 'ee'
  • WHERE clause to constrain the results
  • ee.name = "Emil" compares name property to the value "Emil"
  • RETURN clause used to request particular results

CREATE more

Nodes and relationships

CREATE clauses can create many nodes and relationships at once.

MATCH (ee:Person) WHERE ee.name = "Emil"      
CREATE      
(js:Person { name: "Johan", from: "Sweden", learn: "surfing" }),      
(ir:Person { name: "Ian", from: "England", title: "author" }),      
(rvb:Person { name: "Rik", from: "Belgium", pet: "Orval" }),      
(ally:Person { name: "Allison", from: "California", hobby: "surfing" }),      
# 创建关系      
(ee)-[:KNOWS {since: 2001}]->(js),(ee)-[:KNOWS {rating: 5}]->(ir),      
(js)-[:KNOWS]->(ir),(js)-[:KNOWS]->(rvb),      
(ir)-[:KNOWS]->(js),(ir)-[:KNOWS]->(ally),      
(rvb)-[:KNOWS]->(ally)      

Pattern matching

Describe what to find in the graph

For instance, a pattern can be used to find Emil's friends:

MATCH (ee:Person)-[:KNOWS]-(friends)      
WHERE ee.name = "Emil" RETURN ee, friends      
  • MATCH clause to describe the pattern from known Nodes to found Nodes
  • (ee) starts the pattern with a Person (qualified by WHERE)
  • -[:KNOWS]- matches "KNOWS" relationships (in either direction)
  • (friends) will be bound to Emil's friends

Recommend

Using patterns

Pattern matching can be used to make recommendations. Johan is learning to surf, so he may want to find a new friend who already does:

MATCH (js:Person)-[:KNOWS]-()-[:KNOWS]-(surfer) WHERE js.name = "Johan" AND surfer.hobby = "surfing" RETURN DISTINCT surfer

  • ()empty parenthesis to ignore these nodes
  • DISTINCTbecause more than one path will match the pattern
  • surferwill contain Allison, a friend of a friend who surfs

Analyze

Using the visual query plan

Understand how your query works by prepending EXPLAIN or PROFILE:

PROFILE MATCH (js:Person)-[:KNOWS]-()-[:KNOWS]-(surfer) WHERE js.name = "Johan" AND surfer.hobby = "surfing" RETURN DISTINCT surfer

Live Cypher warnings

Identify query problems in real time

As you type, the query editor notifies you about deprecated features and potentially expensive queries.

Neo4j 文档

Start your application using Cypher to create and query graph data. Use the REST API to monitor the database. In special cases, consider a plugin.

  • The Movie Graph - create the movie graph
  • Northwind Graph - from RDBMS to graph

Movie Graph

Pop-cultural connections between actors and movies

The Movie Graph is a mini graph application containing actors and directors that are related through the movies they've collaborated on.

This guide will show you how to:

  1. Create: insert movie data into the graph
  2. Find: retrieve individual movies and actors
  3. Query: discover related actors and directors
  4. Solve: the Bacon Path

Create

To the right is a giant code block containing a single Cypher query statement composed of multiple CREATE clauses. This will create the movie graph.

  1. Click on the code block
  2. Notice it gets copied to the editor above ↑
  3. Click the editor's play button to execute
  4. Wait for the query to finish

WARNING: This adds data to the current database, each time it is run!

You've heard of the classic "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon"? That is simply a shortest path query called the "Bacon Path".

  1. Variable length patterns
  2. Built-in shortestPath() algorithm

Movies and actors up to 4 "hops" away from Kevin Bacon

MATCH (bacon:Person {name:"Kevin Bacon"})-[*1..4]-(hollywood)      
RETURN DISTINCT hollywood      

Bacon path, the shortest path of any relationships to Meg Ryan

MATCH p=shortestPath(      
(bacon:Person {name:"Kevin Bacon"})-[*]-(meg:Person {name:"Meg Ryan"})      
)      
RETURN p      

Note you only need to compare property values like this when first creating relationships

Let's recommend new co-actors for Tom Hanks. A basic recommendation approach is to find connections past an immediate neighborhood which are themselves well connected.

For Tom Hanks, that means:

  1. Find actors that Tom Hanks hasn't yet worked with, but his co-actors have.
  2. Find someone who can introduce Tom to his potential co-actor.

Extend Tom Hanks co-actors, to find co-co-actors who haven't work with Tom Hanks...

MATCH (tom:Person {name:"Tom Hanks"})-[:ACTED_IN]->(m)<-[:ACTED_IN]-(coActors),      
(coActors)-[:ACTED_IN]->(m2)<-[:ACTED_IN]-(cocoActors)

Clean up

When you're done experimenting, you can remove the movie data set.

Note:

  1. Nodes can't be deleted if relationships exist
  2. Delete both nodes and relationships together

WARNING: This will remove all Person and Movie nodes!

:help DELETE

Delete all Movie and Person nodes, and their relationships

MATCH (n) DETACH DELETE n      

Prove that the Movie Graph is gone

MATCH (n) RETURN n      

Northwind Graph

From RDBMS to Graph, using a classic dataset

The Northwind Graph demonstrates how to migrate from a relational database to Neo4j. The transformation is iterative and deliberate, emphasizing the conceptual shift from relational tables to the nodes and relationships of a graph.

  1. Load: create data from external CSV files
  2. Index: index nodes based on label
  3. Relate: transform foreign key references into data relationships
  4. Promote: transform join records into relationships

Product Catalog

Northwind sells food products in a few categories, provided by suppliers. Let's start by loading the product catalog tables.

The load statements to the right require public internet access.LOAD CSV will retrieve a CSV file from a valid URL, applying a Cypher statement to each row using a named map (here we're using the name `row`).

Neo4j 文档

:help cypher LOAD CSV

Load records

LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM "http://data.neo4j.com/northwind/products.csv" AS row      
CREATE (n:Product)      
SET n = row,      
n.unitPrice = toFloat(row.unitPrice),      
n.unitsInStock = toInteger(row.unitsInStock),      
n.unitsOnOrder = toInteger(row.unitsOnOrder),      
n.reorderLevel = toInteger(row.reorderLevel),      
n.discontinued = (row.discontinued <> "0")      
LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM "http://data.neo4j.com/northwind/categories.csv" AS row      
CREATE (n:Category)      
SET n = row      
LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM "http://data.neo4j.com/northwind/suppliers.csv" AS row      
CREATE (n:Supplier)      
SET n = row      

Create indexes

CREATE INDEX ON :Product(productID)      
CREATE INDEX ON :Category(categoryID)      
CREATE INDEX ON :Supplier(supplierID)      

Product Catalog Graph

The products, categories and suppliers are related through foreign key references. Let's promote those to data relationships to realize the graph.

Neo4j 文档

Create data relationships

MATCH (p:Product),(c:Category)      
WHERE p.categoryID = c.categoryID      
CREATE (p)-[:PART_OF]->(c)      

Calculate join, materialize relationship. (See importing guide for more details)

MATCH (p:Product),(s:Supplier)      
WHERE p.supplierID = s.supplierID      
CREATE (s)-[:SUPPLIES]->(p)      

Querying Product Catalog Graph

Lets try some queries using patterns.

Neo4j 文档

Query using patterns

MATCH (s:Supplier)-->(:Product)-->(c:Category)      
RETURN s.companyName as Company, collect(distinct c.categoryName) as Categories      

List the product categories provided by each supplier.

MATCH (c:Category {categoryName:"Produce"})<--(:Product)<--(s:Supplier)      
RETURN DISTINCT s.companyName as ProduceSuppliers      

Find the produce suppliers.

Customer Orders

Northwind customers place orders which may detail multiple products.

Neo4j 文档

Load and index records

LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM "http://data.neo4j.com/northwind/customers.csv" AS row      
CREATE (n:Customer)      
SET n = row      
LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM "http://data.neo4j.com/northwind/orders.csv" AS row      
CREATE (n:Order)      
SET n = row      
CREATE INDEX ON :Customer(customerID)      
CREATE INDEX ON :Order(orderID)      
MATCH (c:Customer),(o:Order)      
WHERE c.customerID = o.customerID      
CREATE (c)-[:PURCHASED]->(o)      

Customer Order Graph

Notice that Order Details are always part of an Order and that theyrelate the Order to a Product — they're a join table. Join tables are always a sign of a data relationship, indicating shared information between two other records.

Here, we'll directly promote each OrderDetail record into a relationship in the graph.

Neo4j 文档
LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM "http://data.neo4j.com/northwind/order-details.csv" AS row      
MATCH (p:Product), (o:Order)      
WHERE p.productID = row.productID AND o.orderID = row.orderID      
CREATE (o)-[details:ORDERS]->(p)      
SET details = row,      
details.quantity = toInteger(row.quantity)      
MATCH (cust:Customer)-[:PURCHASED]->(:Order)-[o:ORDERS]->(p:Product),      
(p)-[:PART_OF]->(c:Category {categoryName:"Produce"})      
RETURN DISTINCT cust.contactName as CustomerName, SUM(o.quantity) AS TotalProductsPurchased
