Cannot parse Neo4j/v5.11.0 compatible graph database server when connecting to Memgraph DB #230

Open gcleaves opened 5 months ago

Hello. I'm trying to connect to Memgraph, which is a graph db highly compatible with Neo4j. Unfortunately I receive the error in the title. It looks like this driver has explicitly defined which servers it is allowed to connect to.

Is there a way to disable this server enforcement so I can connect to Memgraph?

Thanks.

Hey,

It looks like neo4j-ruby-driver and ActiveGraph supports neo4j only. Memgraph documentation is misleading by saying that activegraph supports it.

We also tried to use a memgraph in our project. For stable connection and green tests, we had to monkey-patch 1000x of lines in both ActiveGraph and neo4j-ruby-driver. But it hasn't gone out of the testing phase yet.

It would be awesome to have built-in support for other graph databases that are using bolt and cypher. But I know it is not easy and cheap to support that here.

In my case, my goal is to make raw queries to and get raw results from Memgraph using Ruby. I'm not interested in the ActiveGraph logic. I thought I might be able to do that with neo4j-ruby-driver.
