In the old days, Neo4j used to come with an .exe to install/run it, personally I’ve never used it, as it was (in my view) awkward to find all the file locations, so I’ve always used the Zip download. For a while now, you’ve only had the option of the Zip version of Neo4j, so…
There’s an excellent post by Cédric Charlier over at his blog about hooking Neo4j into PowerBI. It’s simple to follow and get’s you up and running, but I (as a PowerBI newbie) had a couple of spots where I ran into trouble – generally with assumptions I think that are made assuming that you know…
I’m a .NET developer and I have been for about 13 years or so now, predominantly in C#, but I originally (in my university days) started off programming in Java. Now, I’ve not touched Java for roughly 13 years, and I’m pretty happy with that situation. 3 years(ish) ago I started using Neo4j – as…
So you might have noticed in the Azure market place you can install an HA instance of Neo4j – Awesomeballs! But what about if you want a Causal cluster? Hello Manual Operation! Let’s start with a clean slate, typically in Azure you’ve probably got a dashboard stuffed full of other things, which can be distracting,…

Originally posted on: http://geekswithblogs.net/cskardon/archive/2015/12/03/the-three-stages-of-my-database-choice.aspx Prologue I write and run a website called Tournr, a site to help people run competitions, it helps them organise and register for competitions, keeping the scores online and taking some of the pain of competition management out for them. I began it due to a badly run competition I attended…
Originally posted on: http://geekswithblogs.net/cskardon/archive/2015/09/17/neo4jclient-now-supports-jsonproperty-for-sending-cypher.aspx So, you want a demo graph, and you fire up Neo4j, go to the admin (http://localhost:7474/) and then run :play movies This gets you a graph to play around with, and so you head into Visual Studio (or maybe even LinqPad), and you have an urge now to get all the…
Originally posted on: http://geekswithblogs.net/cskardon/archive/2015/08/07/neo4jclient-1.1.0.1.aspx Big milestone this one, Neo4jClient now supports Transactions, Authentication and some other little changes. Transaction info is all here: https://github.com/Readify/Neo4jClient/wiki/Transactions You can find the connecting stuff here (at the bottom): https://github.com/Readify/Neo4jClient/wiki/connecting And the other big(ish) change is the change to make the ‘CollectAs’ method return the class type specified (<T>) instead…

So changes – it’s moved – https://github.com/cskardon/Neo4j.AspNet.Identity It’s also been repackaged and nuget-ed, the instructions on the Readme have been updated and the actual database structure is better than before, it’s not all there…
Originally posted on: http://geekswithblogs.net/cskardon/archive/2015/03/27/upgrading-your-neo4j-from-xxx-to-2.2.0ndashhaving-authorization-trouble.aspx I’ve recently upgraded one of my Neo4J dbs from 2.1.7 to 2.2.0, and instantly ran into troubles with the new Authentication that the db now has. You’ll notice it when you first login to your browser (http://localhost:7474/) and get asked for a login name and password. Of course, you can turn…
