Cypher Query Language: Basic Reads & Writes with Cypher

This course introduces you to the breadth of operations which can be performed using the Cypher query language to add modify and delete nodes and relationships. Kick things off with queries that create multiple nodes and relationships in a single operation. Move on to MATCH queries where you search for relationships based on a variety of different patterns. Then delve into the OPTIONAL MATCH clause to search based on partial pattern matches. Next discover how to update operations where node properties are created changed or removed. Explore the MERGE clause in the Cypher language. This clause is similar to the CREATE clause but has a few notable differences that make it the better choice in many scenarios. Finally learn how nodes and relationships in Neo4j can be removed and some of the rules around such operations. After completing this course youll be able to add modify and delete nodes and relationships in a Neo4j database using the Cypher query language.
