neo4j cypher: how to change the type of a relationship

Question

I can\'t find a way to change a relationship type in Cypher. Is this operation possible at all? If not: what\'s the best way achieve this result?

Answer 1

I use the following when modifying it.

match (from:Label1 { prop: 1 })-[r:RELATIONSHIP]->(to:Label2 { prop: 2 })
with from, r, to
create (from)-[:NEW_RELATIONSHIP]->(to)
with r
delete r
