Chapter 3. Manipulating the Database

In the previous chapters, you learned how to query and work with data stored in a database. Yet, you don't know how to modify the database because, as you are going to see, the processes of creating, updating, and deleting data are topics strictly related to all the notions we have learned so far. In this chapter, we will learn the following:

  • How to use Neo4j Browser to prototype and test your queries quickly

  • The syntax and usage of the CREATE clause

  • How to merge data with an existing database

  • How to delete data from a database
