@MironAtHome I think your misunderstanding with **OPTIONAL MATCH** is with how **MATCH** works with **patterns**. **OPTIONAL** **MATCH** and **MATCH** process **patterns** in the same way. Using your above graph of one vertex, if you execute the following command, you will get no matches - ``` psql-16.1-5432-pgsql=# SELECT * FROM cypher('test_graph', $$ MATCH (a:vertice1), (b:vertice2) RETURN a, b $$) AS (a agtype, b agtype); a | b ---+--- (0 rows) psql-16.1-5432-pgsql=# ``` Note that MATCH returned nothing with the **pattern** `(a:vertice1), (b:vertice2)`. This is expected because both patterns do not exist, only one does. That is why **OPTIONAL MATCH** returned nothing. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
