Neo4j-Cypher:从路径中删除一个节点并保持 link 到路径的所有节点

Neo4j-Cypher: Remove a node from a path and maintain the link to all nodes of the path

我想从路径中删除一个节点,而不危及原始路径节点。

这是我的测试数据库:

我想从路径中删除节点 (2),但我希望节点 1、3、4 和 5 留在路径中 linked。

有没有办法在一次查询中完成?到目前为止,我有以下内容:

MATCH p = (:Connect)-[:to*]-(:Connect)
WITH nodes(p) AS connectNodes
UNWIND connectNodes AS connectNode
WITH distinct connectNode
WHERE connectNode.connectID = 2
DETACH DELETE (connectNode)

这将删除节点 2 并取消link路径

如果没有节点2,如何保持原路径的节点之间link?

编辑:

我通过修改已接受答案的回复解决了这个问题

//Make sure node (n) belongs to the path
MATCH (n:Connect {cID:2})-[:to*]-(:Connect {cID:5})
//get attached nodes, if any, ignoring directions
OPTIONAL MATCH (oa:connect)-[:to]-(n)-[:to]-(ob:connect)
//make sure nothing is duplicated 
WHERE oa.cID <> ob.cID
//Use FOREACH to mimic if/else. Only merge oa to ob if they exist. Query fails without it
FOREACH (_ IN case when oa IS NOT NULL then [true] else [] end |
    MERGE (oa)-[:to {created: 1542103211}]-(ob)
)
//Get n, and get all connected nodes to it, and delete the relationship(s)
WITH n
OPTIONAL MATCH (n)-[r:to]-(:Connect) DELETE r 

最简单的方法是匹配将被破坏的路径,然后在删除节点的同一密码中创建新链接。

// Match the target node for deletion
MATCH (n{id:2})
// Match broken paths, if any
OPTIONAL MATCH (a)-[ra]->(n)-[rb]->(b)
// Create new link to replace destroyed ones
CREATE (a)-[r:to]->(b)
// Copy properties over, if any
SET r+=ra, r+=rb
// Remove target node
DETACH DELETE n
// If you want to keep the node and just disconnect it, replace last line with
// OPTIONAL MATCH (n)-[r:to]-() DELETE r

如果您想从一个已删除的关系中复制类型,可以使用 APOC 函数创建与动态类型的关系。

另一个机会是删除节点“2”并使用 APOC 程序 "Redirect relationship to"。您可以在 procedure documentation.
