NAME

REST::Neo4p::Schema - Label-based indexes and constraints

SYNOPSIS

REST::Neo4p->connect($server);
$schema = REST::Neo4p::Schema->new;
$schema->create_index('Person','name');

DESCRIPTION

http://neo4j.org|Neo4j v2.0 provides a way to schematize the graph on the basis of node labels, associated indexes, and property uniqueness constraints. REST::Neo4p::Schema allows access to this system via the Neo4j REST API. Use a Schema object to create, list, and drop indexes and constraints.

Note that as of v2.0.0, the Neo4j server can only create indexes on single properties within a label, and only uniqueness constraints on single properties. v2.0.1 is required for this module, which is dependent on a bug fix in that release.

METHODS

create_index()

$schema->create_index('Label', 'property');
$schema->create_index('Label', @properties);

The second example is convenience for creating multiple single indexes on each of a list of properties. It does not create a compound index on the set of properties. Returns TRUE.

get_indexes()

@properties = $schema->get_indexes('Label');

Get a list properties on which an index exists for a given label.

drop_index()

$schema->drop_index('Label','property');
$schema->drop_index('Label', @properties);

Remove indexes on given property or properties for a given label.

create_unique_constraint()

$schema->create_unique_constraint('Label', 'property');
$schema->create_unique_constraint('Label', @properties);

Create uniqueness constraints on a given property or properties for a given label.

get_constraints()

@properties = $schema->get_constraints('Label');

Get a list of properties for which (uniqueness) constraints exist for a given label.

drop_unique_constraint()

$schema->drop_unique_constraint('Label', 'property');
$schema->drop_unique_constraint('Label', @properties);

Remove uniqueness constraints on given property or properties for a given label.
