A cheatsheet for Neo4j's Cypher query language, this markdown document pairs syntax examples with line-by-line explanations of graph concepts. It covers MATCH patterns for nodes, relationships, labels, and IDs, plus CREATE statements for building nodes and edges, and SET operations for updating properties. The reference uses inline Cypher code blocks to demonstrate queries against graph data, with the source material drawn from a gist authored by ackuser.

Gist c4e5dc1654025628f979

This example demonstrates how Cypher queries can create and visualize a small social graph of people seated at a table. It uses Neo4j’s MERGE clauses to construct four Person nodes and one Table node, then links each person to the table via an AT_TABLE relationship. The graph is rendered directly from the Neo4j GraphGist, leveraging the built-in visualization component that displays nodes and edges in a force-directed layout. The data model highlights simple adjacency and group membership without additional attributes or complex traversal logic.

MySQL Cheat Sheet

This example presents a plain-text MySQL cheat sheet as a structured reference for database management and SQL querying. It demonstrates how to organize commands for user administration, database and table creation, data manipulation, and complex queries such as joins and foreign key relationships. The text is formatted with markdown headers and code blocks, showing SQL statements for operations like `CREATE TABLE`, `SELECT`, `INSERT`, and `INNER JOIN`. It also includes configuration tips for adding MySQL to the system PATH via bash commands, while the underlying source is a GitHub Gist authored by Lyndoman.

A learning exercise for Neo4j

This example shows a simple Neo4j graph of Roosevelt family genealogy, built for a classroom exercise. The graph models people as labeled nodes and relationships like marriages and births, using Cypher’s CREATE clauses to define the data. Students are prompted to expand the family tree and query it with MATCH statements to retrieve person names. The visualization relies on Neo4j’s native browser rendering and Cypher query results, with the initial dataset derived from the Roosevelt family Wikipedia page.

Graph Gist

This example renders a small Cypher query result as an interactive force-directed graph. It uses d3.forceSimulation to position nodes and links, displaying person and database entities with their LIKE relationships from the Neo4j sample data. The graph draws SVG circles and connecting lines, with labels for each node, and updates positions through the simulation's tick events.

Simple HTTP PUT examples for GrapheneDB

This example demonstrates how to query and return named nodes from a Neo4j graph database via HTTP, using simple `POST` requests to GrapheneDB’s Cypher endpoint. It shows both a basic match-all query and a parameterized query that filters by a specific name value. The code relies on the command-line HTTP client `http` with authentication flags, sending queries as form-encoded data to the `/db/data/cypher` endpoint, with parameters passed as a JSON string. The visualization highlights the raw request-response interaction rather than rendering graphical output, focusing on the API’s syntax for executing Cypher queries remotely.

Cypher examples for Coderfaire

These examples show how Cypher queries progressively explore Kevin Bacon’s acting network, from direct movie matches to multi-hop co-actor paths and even a four-degree link to Billy Crystal. The visualizations rely on the Neo4j Browser’s built-in graph rendering, which uses d3.forceSimulation for node positioning and link layout. Each query returns nodes and relationships that are drawn as labeled circles and directed edges, with actor names displayed when explicitly returned. The data comes from the gist’s embedded property-graph structure, with the final queries using variable-length path patterns to capture entire connection chains.

PostgreSQL command line cheatsheet

This example presents a text-based cheat sheet for PostgreSQL command-line tools, rendering a curated list of psql commands, configuration snippets, and handy SQL queries in a plain markdown document. It shows the core syntax for database management tasks, such as connecting to databases, listing tables and views, managing user roles, and adjusting server logging verbosity, alongside query examples for inspecting indexes, active sessions, and table sizes. The visualization relies on static code blocks and inline formatting, with no interactive graphics or JavaScript libraries; instead, it leverages the raw text content from a gist, emphasizing practical API references like `psql` meta-commands and `pg_stat_activity` queries.

A better markdown cheatsheet.

This markdown cheatsheet visually compares two reference documents side by side, presenting syntax examples and their rendered results for headers, emphasis, lists, links, images, and code blocks. The example uses the GitHub Flavored Markdown parser with custom HTML elements like `<details>` and `<mark>`, and includes TeX mathematical formulae. It demonstrates how a plain-text data format can be organized as a reference visualization through the use of clear section headings, code fences, and live previews.
