UpdatedRobinWright

Exercise 9: Creating Nodes (Taking it further - optional)


  • Add more labels to the Movie nodes to reflect the movie genre (action, drama, etc.).

  • Query the database using different labels for movies.

  • Try adding or updating properties using the JSON-style syntax using = and +=.

  • Add properties to nodes using the JSON-style format where you add all of the properties to the node.

  • Query the database to confirm your additions.

  • Call the Cypher built-in method to retrieve all of the property keys in the graph.

Exercise 9: Creating Nodes (Summary)


In this exercise, you wrote Cypher statements to create nodes. Then you wrote Cypher statements to add and remove labels for nodes. Next, you used Cypher to add properties to nodes. Finally, you wrote Cypher statements to remove properties from nodes.
