Exercise 7: Controlling query processing (Overview)


In the previous exercise, you used aggregation to collect data for lists, worked with lists and maps, and also date types.

In this exercise you will write queries that use WITH to chain query results and control processing during queries. You will write queries that use WITH to collect data and then return intermediate results. Then, you will use WITH to limit the number of results returned. Next, you will test the size of a collection, together with the WITH clause to control what results are returned. Then, you will chain results together to test the size to control the results returned. Finally, you will chain results together and unwind a collected list to produce results.

  • Exercise 7.1: Using WITH.

  • Exercise 7.2: Using WITH to limit results returned.

  • Exercise 7.3: Using the size of a retrieval to process the query.

  • Exercise 7.4: Testing the size of a list.

  • Exercise 7.5: Unwinding a list in the query chain.

Go to the next page to start this exercise.

Exercise 7.1: Using WITH (Instructions)


Next, you will write queries that perform some intermediate processing using the WITH clause.

Retrieve the actors who have acted in exactly five movies, returning the name of the actor, and the list of movies for that actor.

Exercise 7.1: Using WITH (Solution)


Retrieve the actors who have acted in exactly five movies, returning the name of the actor, and the list of movies for that actor.

MATCH (a:Person)-[:ACTED_IN]->(m:Movie)
WITH  a, count(m) AS numMovies, collect(m.title) AS movies
WHERE numMovies = 5
RETURN a.name, movies

The result returned should be:

FiveMovies

Exercise 7.2: Using WITH to limit results returned (Instructions)


Retrieve all actors that have not appeared in more than 3 movies. Return their names and list of movies.

Exercise 7.2: Using WITH to limit results returned (Solution)


Retrieve all actors that have not appeared in more than 3 movies. Return their names and list of movies.

MATCH (a:Person)-[:ACTED_IN]->(m:Movie)
WITH  a,  count(a) AS numMovies, collect(m.title) AS movies
WHERE numMovies <= 3
RETURN a.name, movies

The result returned should be:

AtMost3MoviesPerActor

Exercise 7.3: Using the size of a retrieval to process the query (Instructions)


Retrieve the movies that have at least 2 directors, and optionally the names of people who reviewed the movies.

Exercise 7.3: Use the size of a retrieval to process the query (Solution)


Retrieve the movies that have at least 2 directors, and optionally the names of people who reviewed the movies.

MATCH (m:Movie)
WITH m, size( [ (p:Person)-[:DIRECTED]->(m) | p ] ) AS directors
WHERE directors >= 2
OPTIONAL MATCH (p:Person)-[:REVIEWED]->(m)
RETURN m.title, p.name

An alternative using COUNT subquery would be the following.

MATCH (m:Movie)
WITH m, COUNT { (:Person)-[:DIRECTED]->(m) } AS directors
WHERE directors >= 2
OPTIONAL MATCH (p:Person)-[:REVIEWED]->(m)
RETURN m.title, p.name

The result returned should be:

TopDirectorsAndReviewers

Exercise 7.4: Testing the size of a list (Instructions)


Write a Cypher query that retrieves all actors that acted in movies, and collects the list of movies for any actor that acted in more than five movies. Return the name of the actor and the list.

Hint: Use a WITH clause and test the size of the collected list using the size() function.

Exercise 7.4: Testing the size of a list (Solution)


Write a Cypher query that retrieves all actors that acted in movies, and collects the list of movies for any actor that acted in more than five movies. Return the name of the actor and the list.

MATCH (p:Person)-[:ACTED_IN]->(m:Movie)
WITH p, collect(m) AS movies
WHERE size(movies)  > 5
RETURN p.name, movies

The result returned should be:

ActorsWithMoreThan5Movies1

In this view, we are examining the table view where we can see the actor name and the list of movies for each actor. The actors should be Tom Hanks and Keanu Reeves.

Exercise 7.5: Unwinding a list in the query chain (Instructions)


Modify the query you just wrote so that before the query processing ends, you unwind the list of movies and then return the name of the actor and the title of the associated movie

Hint: Use two WITH clauses and test the size of the collected list using the size() function.

Exercise 7.5: Unwinding a list in the query chain (Solution)


Modify the query you just wrote so that before the query processing ends, you unwind the list of movies and then return the name of the actor and the title of the associated movie

MATCH (p:Person)-[:ACTED_IN]->(m:Movie)
WITH p, collect(m) AS movies
WHERE size(movies)  > 5
WITH p, movies UNWIND movies AS movie
RETURN p.name, movie.title

The result returned should be:

ActorsWithMoreThan5Movies2

Exercise 7: Controlling query processing (Summary)


In this exercise you wrote queries that use WITH to chain query results and control processing during queries. You wrote queries that use WITH to collect data and then return intermediate results. Then, you used WITH to limit the number of results returned. Next, you tested size of a collection, together with the WITH clause to control what results are returned. Then, you chained results together to test the size to control the results returned. Finally, you chained results together and unwound a collected list to produce results.
