Neo4j

Neo4J est une implémentation open-source d'un système de bases de données orientées graphe (Graph Databases). Neo4J est écrit en Java 7 (OSGi ?). Son langage de requête (LDD/LMD), Cypher, s'inspire de SQL. Guery est un LMD alternatif à Cypher. Index 1D (temps) et 2D (geoposition).

Créez un noeud

CREATE (ee:Person { name: "Emil", from: "Sweden", klout: 99 })

Recherchez un noeud

MATCH (ee:Person) WHERE ee.name = "Emil" RETURN ee;

Créez des noeuds et des relations entre ces noeuds (ie un graphe).

MATCH (ee:Person) WHERE ee.name = "Emil"
CREATE (js:Person { name: "Johan", from: "Sweden", learn: "surfing" }),
(ir:Person { name: "Ian", from: "England", title: "author" }),

(js)-[:KNOWS]->(ir),
(js)-[:KNOWS]->(rvb),
(ir)-[:KNOWS]->(js),
(ir)-[:KNOWS]->(ally),
(rvb)-[:KNOWS]->(ally)

Recherchez des noeuds en relation (KNOWS) avec le noeud (js.name = "Johan").

MATCH (ee:Person)-[:KNOWS]-(friends)
WHERE ee.name = "Emil" RETURN ee, friends

Recherchez des noeuds en relation (KNOWS) avec le noeud (js.name = "Johan").

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

Recherchez des noeuds en relation quelquonque avec le noeud (ee).

MATCH (ee:Person)-[:KNOWS]-(pers)
WHERE ee.name = "Emil" RETURN ee, pers
