So I'm working on an project where there's a local graph database which
will be modified offline, and then periodically synced with another
instance running on the server. The goal would be that following a sync
operation, the server database should be identical to the local one.
In a relational database, I would just query the rows in the local database
which have been updated since the timestamp on the newest row in the
server, and insert or replace them on the server side.
client side:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE lastUpdate > {newest row on server}
server side:
INSERT OR REPLACE INTO table VALUES (...)
But this relies on being able to create rows with specific id's when new
records are inserted into the database so those records can later be
identified for updates, and id's appear to be read-only in Neo4j.
I have considered that I could just add an id property to each node and
relationship, but it feels like a bit of a hack, and I'm wondering if
there's maybe a better or more natural way to handle it in Neo4j.
