Advanced Cypher tricks

Cypher is a highly efficient language that not only makes querying simpler but also strives to optimize the result-generation process to the maximum. A lot more optimization in performance can be achieved with the help of knowledge related to the data domain of the application being used to restructure queries.

Query optimizations

There are certain techniques you can adopt in order to get the maximum performance out of your Cypher queries. Some of them are:

  • Avoid global data scans: The manual mode of optimizing the performance of queries depends on the developer's effort to reduce the traversal domain and to make sure that only the essential data is obtained in results. A global scan searches the entire graph, which is fine for smaller graphs but not for large datasets. For example:

    START n =node(*)
MATCH (n)-[:KNOWS]-(m)
WHERE n.identity = "Batman"
RETURN m

    Since Cypher is a greedy pattern-matching language, it avoids discrimination unless explicitly told to. Filtering...
