I strongly agree with this. It's EASY to see the relationships and their direction with the syntax right now. (cani)<-[:HAS]-(more)-[:CHEEZ]->(burger) I glance that and instantly figure out what it's trying to say. The SQL- like examples I've seen so far aren't coming even close, IMHO. And as the query complexity increases, I think the advantage Cypher's syntax has increases even more. Additionally I don't find adding a join keyword to a query language that queries a data store that has no joins better in any shape or form. -TPP _______________________________________________ Neo4j mailing list User@lists.neo4j.org https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user
