DELETE

Delete graph elements — nodes and relationships.

Any node to be deleted must also have all associated relationships explicitly deleted.

DETACH DELETE

Writing Delete a node or set of nodes.

All associated relationships will automatically be deleted.

LIMIT

Reading sub-clause A sub-clause used to constrain the number of records in the output.

MATCH

Reading Specify the patterns to search for in the database.

MANDATORY MATCH

Reading Specify the patterns to search for in the database, and fail if no match is found.

ORDER BY [ASC[ENDING] DESC[ENDING]]

Reading sub-clause A sub-clause following

RETURN or WITH

Specifying that the output should be sorted in either ascending (the default) or descending order.

RETURN … [AS]

Projecting Defines what to include in the query result set.

SKIP

Reading/Writing A sub-clause defining from which record to start including the records in the output.

WITH … [AS]

Projecting Allows query parts to be chained together, piping the results from one to be used as starting points or criteria in the next.

See below for restrictions.

WHERE

Reading sub-clause A sub-clause used to add constraints to the patterns in a MATCH clause, or to filter the results of a WITH clause.
