This! A thousand times this! Whenever I'm trying to explain how you find connected information without joins, people's eyes tend to glaze over until I a) draw the graph on the whiteboard, b) write out the Cypher query *directly inside the graph*. That's the "no f-ing way!" moment for most people to see the power of graphs and graph query languages. -- Josh Adell -- View this message in context: http://neo4j-community-discussions.438527.n3.nabble.com/Neo4j-Cypher-Pickle-tp3480817p3481871.html Sent from the Neo4j Community Discussions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Neo4j mailing list [email protected] https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user
