Using Neo4j 2.0.2 on JDK 8.1, OSX 10.9.2 So I've been working my way through the manual, and I'm a little unsure what the best practice is regarding START and MATCH. It seems like almost any query using a START clause has an equivalent using MATCH ... WHERE, and this note in the docs seem to hint at the fact that START is no longer the best practice for queries:
Note > > START is optional. If you do not specify explicit starting points, Cypher > will try and infer starting points from your query. This is done based on > node labels and predicates contained in your query. See Chapter 13, > *Schema* <http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/milestone/cypher-schema.html> for > more information. In general, the START clause is only really needed when > using legacy indexes. > So I'm wondering, is START still considered best practice for some use cases? Are there performance differences between queries using START and queries using MATCH ... WHERE? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Neo4j" group.
