Thanks for the answers! I've tried tutorials on the web page and now I've been doing some tests. Some doubts so far: 1) Emulating a count(*). I did this: http://pastebin.com/f276fd2c7 but it takes some time and it doesn't look like a good solution. Which is the best way? 2) I am trying to do this: Robert has friends from different places. Robert want to save when they met for the first time and how many glass/es of beer enjoyed that day. Which is the correct way to map this? I am using: Robert be connect directly to different people (Robert <--- is friend with ---> Charly) and adding info into the relation. Does the following make any sense? Robert connected to the place and therefore to people living there. (Robert <--- friend with people living in ---> Argentina; Charly <--- lives in ---> Argentina) Any better way? 3) Is there a way to create something similar to an schema to generate the db? Robert has almost 100k friends :( Thanks for reading! _______________________________________________ Neo mailing list [email protected] https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user
