Neo4J get node by ID

Question

I am using neo4j for one of my project, there\'s a node which only has a single property as name, I want to get that node using ID, it already has a ID but when

Answer 1

Warning: The following answer is incorrect! START should only be used when accessing legacy indexes. It is disabled in Cypher 2.2 and up.

Neo4j recommends using WHERE ID(n) = , and furthermore states that it will only require a single lookup (does not scan every node to find the matching ID)

Keeping this answer to prevent anyone from making the same mistake.

You can use WHERE ID(s) = 65110, but this will check the ID of every node in your database.

There is a more efficient way to do this:

START s=NODE(517) MATCH(s) RETURN s

Answer 2

MATCH (s)
WHERE ID(s) = 65110
RETURN s

The ID function gets you the id of a node or relationship. This is different from any property called id or ID that you create.

Answer 3

you can say:

(n:User) where id(n) >=20 RETURN n

this will return all nodes of type User with node reference ID more than 20
