This page provides a guide to Establishing a Connection to Neo4j in CData Cloud, as well as information on the available resources, and a reference to the available connection properties.

Connecting to Neo4j

Establishing a Connection shows how to authenticate to Neo4j and configure any necessary connection properties to create a database in CData Cloud

Accessing Data from CData Cloud Services

Accessing data from Neo4j through the available standard services and CData Cloud administration is documented in further details in the CData Cloud Documentation.

Connect to Neo4j by selecting the corresponding icon in the Database tab. Required properties are listed under Settings. The Advanced tab lists connection properties that are not typically required.

Connecting to Neo4j

CData Cloud supports connections to self-managed Neo4j instances via the HTTP API. To connect, set the following connection properties:

• Server: The server hosting the Neo4j instance. An HTTP or HTTPS protocol prefix may be optionally prepended to the server name or address.
• Port: The port on which the Neo4j service is running. The provider connects to HTTP (7474) port by default. If connecting over HTTPS, supply the HTTPS port for the Neo4j instance specified in Server.
• User: The username of the user using the Neo4j instance.
• Password: The password of the user using the Neo4j instance.
• Database: The database to target in the Neo4j instance. Defaults to "Neo4j".

Note that the CData Cloud does not support connections to cloud Neo4j instances like those of AuraDB and AuraDS.

Overview

This section covers how the Cloud exposes your Neo4j graph database, and provides more information on executing SQL to Neo4j APIs.

Key Features

• The Cloud models Neo4j graph node labels and relationships as relational views, allowing you to write SQL to query Neo4j data.
• Stored procedures allow you to execute operations to Neo4j.
• Live connectivity to these objects means any changes to your Neo4j account are immediately reflected when using the Cloud.

Modeling Node Graphs

Modeling Node Graphs details how node labels and relationships are exposed as views, as well as how properties are surfaced as columns.

Node and Relationship Filtering

The Cloud supports filtering which node labels and relationships are modeled as views. See Filtering Nodes and Relationships for more information.

---

Property	Description
DetachDelete	A boolean value that controls whether the provider uses DETACH DELETE automatically when executing DELETE query.
MaxRows	Specifies the maximum rows returned for queries without aggregation or GROUP BY.
NodeFilter	A Cypher node label matching expression. The provider exposes all node labels from the matched nodes as views.
Pagesize	Specifies the maximum number of results to return from Neo4j, per page. This setting overrides the default page size set by the datasource, which is optimized for most use cases.
PseudoColumns	Specifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns. Use the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'. The default is an empty string, which disables this property.
RelationshipDestinationFilter	The type(s) of labels that must be present on the destination nodes of single-hop relationships that the provider will expose as views.

A boolean value that controls whether the provider uses DETACH DELETE automatically when executing DELETE query.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

Nodes in Neo4j cannot be deleted if attached to any edge. By setting this property to 'true', the Cloud will automatically adjust a DELETE query to include a DETACH clause, putting the node into a deletable state before attempting operation.

Specifies the maximum rows returned for queries without aggregation or GROUP BY.

Data Type

int

Default Value

-1

Remarks

This property sets an upper limit on the number of rows the Cloud returns for queries that do not include aggregation or GROUP BY clauses. This limit ensures that queries do not return excessively large result sets by default.

When a query includes a LIMIT clause, the value specified in the query takes precedence over the MaxRows setting. If MaxRows is set to "-1", no row limit is enforced unless a LIMIT clause is explicitly included in the query.

This property is useful for optimizing performance and preventing excessive resource consumption when executing queries that could otherwise return very large datasets.

A Cypher node label matching expression. The provider exposes all node labels from the matched nodes as views.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

By default, the Cloud will expose all labels from all nodes as views. By setting this property to a valid Cypher node label matching expression, the Cloud exposes all node labels from the matched nodes as views.

Specifies the maximum number of results to return from Neo4j, per page. This setting overrides the default page size set by the datasource, which is optimized for most use cases.

Data Type

int

Default Value

5000

Remarks

You may want to adjust the default pagesize to optimize results for a particular object or service endpoint you are querying. Be aware that increasing the page size may improve performance, but it could also result in higher memory consumption per page.

Specifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns. Use the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'. The default is an empty string, which disables this property.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property allows you to define which pseudocolumns the Cloud exposes as table columns.

To specify individual pseudocolumns, use the following format: "Table1=Column1;Table1=Column2;Table2=Column3"

To include all pseudocolumns for all tables use: "*=*"

The type(s) of labels that must be present on the destination nodes of single-hop relationships that the provider will expose as views.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

By default, the Cloud will expose all single-hop relationships as views. By setting this property to a valid Cypher node label matching expression, the Cloud will only expose the single-hop relationships where the destination node has the specified set of labels.

The node labels that must be present on the source nodes of single-hop relationships, which the provider will expose as views.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

By default, the Cloud will expose all single-hop relationships as views. By setting this property to a valid Cypher node label matching expression, the Cloud will only expose the single-hop relationships where the source node has the specified set of labels.

The relationship type(s) of single-hop relationships that the driver will expose as views.

Data Type

string

Default Value

Remarks

By default, the driver will expose all single-hop relationships as views. By setting this property to a valid, Cypher relationship type matching expression, the driver will only expose the single-hop relationships where the relationship type is part of the set of specified types.

The maximum number of rows to scan to look for the columns available in a table.

Data Type

int

Default Value

100

Remarks

The columns in a table must be determined by scanning table rows. This value determines the maximum number of rows that will be scanned.

Setting a high value may decrease performance. Setting a low value may prevent the data type from being determined properly, especially when there is null data.

Specifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error. The default is 60 seconds. Set to 0 to disable the timeout.

Data Type

int

Default Value

60

Remarks

This property controls the maximum time, in seconds, that the Cloud waits for an operation to complete before canceling it. If the timeout period expires before the operation finishes, the Cloud cancels the operation and throws an exception.

The timeout applies to each individual communication with the server rather than the entire query or operation. For example, a query could continue running beyond 60 seconds if each paging call completes within the timeout limit.

Setting this property to 0 disables the timeout, allowing operations to run indefinitely until they succeed or fail due to other conditions such as server-side timeouts, network interruptions, or resource limits on the server. Use this property cautiously to avoid long-running operations that could degrade performance or result in unresponsive behavior.
