INSERT Statements

To create new records, use INSERT statements.

INSERT Syntax

The INSERT statement specifies the columns to be inserted and the new column values. You can specify the column values in a comma-separated list in the VALUES clause, as shown in the following example:

INSERT INTO <table_name> 
( <column_reference> [ , ... ] )
VALUES 
( { <expression> | NULL } [ , ... ] ) 
  

<expression> ::=
  | @ <parameter> 
  | ?
  | <literal>

You can use the ExecuteNonQuery method to execute data manipulation commands and retrieve the rows affected, as shown in the following example:

C#

String connectionString = "server=localhost;port=7474;user=neo4j;password=password;";
using (Neo4jConnection connection = new Neo4jConnection(connectionString)) {
  int rowsAffected;
  Neo4jCommand cmd = new Neo4jCommand("INSERT INTO ProductCategory (CategoryName) VALUES ('John')", connection);
  rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "server=localhost;port=7474;user=neo4j;password=password;"
Using connection As New Neo4jConnection(connectionString)
  Dim rowsAffected As Integer
  Dim cmd As New Neo4jCommand("INSERT INTO ProductCategory (CategoryName) VALUES ('John')", connection)
  rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using
