How to perform bulk operations in Cypher

[Johnny Luu]

I usually have single operations like an addPicture query.

Instead of 10 Cypher requests when adding 10 pictures I want to have an addPictures query where I only make one HTTP request.

How do you loop a parameters value that is an array (consisting of the names of every picture I wanna add).

Here is my current addPicture query I wanna transform:

START root = node(0)
RELATE (root)-[:PICTURE]->(picture {name: {name}})

> START root = node(0)
FOREACH (name in {names} : RELATE (root)-[:PICTURE]->(picture {name: name}) )

names being a parameter containing a list/array (Iterable) of name's.

Didn't know it could be used for parameter array values.

Nothing mentioned here: http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/milestone/query-foreach.html

I guess I just have to wait for https://github.com/neo4j/community/issues/567 to be in the latest Heroku Neo4j version :)
