Creating nodes and relationships at the same time in neo4j

Question

I am trying to build an database in Neo4j with a structure that contains seven different types of nodes, in total around 4-5000 nodes and between them around 40000 relationships

Answer 1

If you have one of the nodes already created then a simple approach would be:

MATCH (n: user {uid: "1"}) CREATE (n) -[r: posted]-> (p: post {pid: "42", title: "Good Night", msg: "Have a nice and peaceful sleep.", author: n.uid});

Here the user node already exists and you have created a new relation and a new post node.
