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 would simply delete the relationship and create a new one:

MATCH (a) - [r:OLD_RELATION] -> (b)
DELETE r
CREATE (a) - [:NEW_RELATION] -> (b)
