Neo4j 简明教程
Neo4j CQL - Creating a Relationship
在 Noe4j 中,关系是一个元素,我们使用它来连接图中的两个节点。这些关系具有方向、类型和数据形式模式。本章将介绍如何:
In Noe4j, a relationship is an element using which we connect two nodes of a graph. These relationships have direction, type, and the form patterns of data. This chapter teaches you how to −
-
Create relationships
-
Create a relationship between the existing nodes
-
Create a relationship with label and properties
Creating Relationships
我们可以使用 CREATE 子句创建一个关系。我们将根据关系的方向在方括号 “[ ]” 中指定关系,因为它是放在连字符 “ - ” 和箭头 “ → ” 之间的,如下所示语法中所示。
We can create a relationship using the CREATE clause. We will specify relationship within the square braces “[ ]” depending on the direction of the relationship it is placed between hyphen “ - ” and arrow “ → ” as shown in the following syntax.
Syntax
以下是使用 CREATE 子句创建关系的语法。
Following is the syntax to create a relationship using the CREATE clause.
CREATE (node1)-[:RelationshipType]->(node2)
Example
首先,在数据库中创建两个节点 Ind 和 Dhawan,如下所示。
First of all, create two nodes Ind and Dhawan in the database, as shown below.
CREATE (Dhawan:player{name: "Shikar Dhawan", YOB: 1985, POB: "Delhi"})
CREATE (Ind:Country {name: "India"})
现在,在两个节点之间创建一个名为 BATSMAN_OF 的关系,如下所示:
Now, create a relationship named BATSMAN_OF between these two nodes as −
CREATE (Dhawan)-[r:BATSMAN_OF]->(Ind)
最后,返回两个节点以查看已创建的关系。
Finally, return both the nodes to see the created relationship.
RETURN Dhawan, Ind

将所需查询复制并粘贴到美元提示符中,然后按下以下屏幕截图中突出显示的播放按钮(以执行查询)。

Creating a Relationship Between the Existing Nodes
你还可以使用 MATCH 子句在现有节点之间创建关系。
You can also create a relationship between the existing nodes using the MATCH clause.
Syntax
以下是使用 MATCH 子句创建关系的语法。
Following is the syntax to create a relationship using the MATCH clause.
MATCH (a:LabeofNode1), (b:LabeofNode2)
WHERE a.name = "nameofnode1" AND b.name = " nameofnode2"
CREATE (a)-[: Relation]->(b)
RETURN a,b
Example
以下就是一个使用 match 子句创建关系的 Cypher 查询示例。
Following is a sample Cypher Query which creates a relationship using the match clause.
MATCH (a:player), (b:Country) WHERE a.name = "Shikar Dhawan" AND b.name = "India"
CREATE (a)-[r: BATSMAN_OF]->(b)
RETURN a,b
要执行以上查询,请执行以下步骤。
To execute the above query, carry out the following steps.
Step 1 - 打开 Neo4j Desktop App 并启动 Neo4j Server。使用 URL http://localhost:7474/ 打开 Neo4j 的内置浏览器应用,如下面的屏幕截图所示。
Step 1 − Open the Neo4j desktop App and start the Neo4j Server. Open the built-in browser app of Neo4j using the URL http://localhost:7474/ as shown in the following screenshot.

Step 2 - 在美元提示符中复制并粘贴所需的查询,并按播放按钮(执行查询)突出显示在下面的屏幕截图中。
Step 2 − Copy and paste the desired query in the dollar prompt and press the play button (to execute the query) highlighted in the following screenshot.

Creating a Relationship with Label and Properties
可以使用 CREATE 子句创建带有标签和属性的关系。
You can create a relationship with label and properties using the CREATE clause.
Syntax
下面是使用 CREATE 子句创建带有标签和属性的关系的语法。
Following is the syntax to create a relationship with label and properties using the CREATE clause.
CREATE (node1)-[label:Rel_Type {key1:value1, key2:value2, . . . n}]-> (node2)
Example
下面是一个示例 Cypher 查询,它创建了一个带有标签和属性的关系。
Following is a sample Cypher Query which creates a relationship with label and properties.
MATCH (a:player), (b:Country) WHERE a.name = "Shikar Dhawan" AND b.name = "India"
CREATE (a)-[r:BATSMAN_OF {Matches:5, Avg:90.75}]->(b)
RETURN a,b
执行上述查询,执行以下步骤:
To execute the above query, carry out the following steps −
Step 1 - 打开 Neo4j Desktop App 并启动 Neo4j Server。使用 URL http://localhost:7474/ 打开 Neo4j 的内置浏览器应用,如下面的屏幕截图所示。
Step 1 − Open the Neo4j desktop App and start the Neo4j Server. Open the built-in browser app of Neo4j using the URL http://localhost:7474/ as shown in the following screenshot.

Step 2 - 在美元提示符中复制并粘贴所需的查询,并按播放按钮(执行查询)突出显示在下面的屏幕截图中。
Step 2 − Copy and paste the desired query in the dollar prompt and press the play button (to execute the query) highlighted in the following screenshot.

Creating a Complete Path
在 Neo4j 中,关系连续使用路径进行形成。可以使用 create 子句创建路径。
In Neo4j, a path is formed using continuous relationships. A path can be created using the create clause.
Syntax
下面是使用 CREATE 子句在 Neo4j 中创建路径的语法。
Following is the syntax to create a path in Neo4j using the CREATE clause.
CREATE p = (Node1 {properties})-[:Relationship_Type]->
(Node2 {properties})[:Relationship_Type]->(Node3 {properties})
RETURN p
Example
执行上述查询,执行以下步骤:
To execute the above query, carry out the following steps −
Step 1 - 打开 Neo4j Desktop App 并启动 Neo4j Server。使用 URL http://localhost:7474/ 打开 Neo4j 的内置浏览器应用,如下面的屏幕截图所示。
Step 1 − Open the Neo4j desktop App and start the Neo4j Server. Open the built-in browser app of Neo4j using the URL http://localhost:7474/ as shown in the following screenshot.
