Neo4j Graph Data Modeling

Adding flights to Neo4j

Since we have identified flights as entities, we will create them as nodes. To begin with, we should create a uniqueness constraint on the property code for the label :Flight as shown:

neo4j-sh (?)$ CREATE CONSTRAINT ON (flight:Flight) ASSERT flight.code IS UNIQUE;

The output is as follows:

+-------------------+
| No data returned. |
+-------------------+
Constraints added: 1

We can create a flight with its information as a standalone entity:

neo4j-sh (?)$ CREATE (flight:Flight {code:"AA9", carrier:"American Airlines", duration:314, source_airport_code:"JFK", departure:1300, destination_airport_code:"LAX", arrival:114}) RETURN flight.code as flight_code, flight.carrier as carrier, flight.source_airport_code as from, flight.destination_airport_code ...
