How to execute string queries

[jcornaz]

Hi,

I like very much the IDbAccess interface which may be backed by an embedded, a remote or an in memory database.

But is there a way to execute plain cypher string instead of using the cypher DSL?

Hi, For cypher statements which are not or not yet supported in JCypher, or if you just want to write plain cypher, you can always use JCypher's NATIVE clause. By means of the NATIVE clause you can write parts of a query or even an entire query in cypher. For an example please see below:

clauses = new IClause[]{
  ...,
  ...,
  NATIVE.cypher("RETURN DISTINCT ....")
};

The NATIVE clause can take one or more lines of plain cypher.

Best regards, Wolfgang
