The Neo4j database has introduced a new clause called RELATE, which is similar to MATCH but creates relationships instead of just matching them. When there is no satisfying subgraph, RELATEmakes the needed relationships and even intervening nodes, ensuring that the subgraph exists. This clause allows users to track frequent patterns in their data, such as visiting coffee shops, by creating a graph mini-app. The CREATE clause has also been introduced in Neo4j 1.8.M01, allowing users to create nodes and relationships simultaneously. Additionally, the Neo4j shell now provides control over transactions with new commands: begin transaction, commit, and rollback. Neo4j 1.8.M03 is available for immediate download, offering improved functionality and flexibility for users.
