Maven dependency version Neo4j - Cypher - query syntax

[Samwillie]

Hi experts,

I am using the maven dependency Neo4j version 1.8.M01 which also pulls
in the cypher 1.8.M01.

When trying to delete a node using cypher query, I get the error ->
"return clause expected" error.

start n = node(2) match n-[r]->() delete r, n

The following post provides an answer - to use 1.8-SNAPSHOT, but this
is not in the maven repository.

http://groups.google.com/group/neo4j/browse_thread/thread/a4cd06df992ea84b?fwc=1

The query does not work in my console too. But it works in
http://console.neo4j.org.

Any directions would be helpful..

Thanks

1.8-SNAPSHOT is available as download from neo4j.org

or from http://m2.neo4j.org/snapshots (not maven central)

but 1.8.M02 is also due very soon.

Hmm... How come you have a console if you are using maven dependencies? Is it possible you have installed an older version of the server?

Hi Michael and Andres,

Thanks for your replies. I will wait for 1.8.M02 then.

Meanwhile, I have managed to iterate through the relationships and
remove them and then do a Node.delete().

Andres, yes the server I have installed is 1.7 version - ah so this is
why I don't see the result. But the web application that accesses the
server using RestGraphDatabse uses 1.8.M01.

Thanks again..

You are welcome to wait. Your query works in 1.8.M01 though - I believe your setup is the problem you're facing.

You need to use the same version in your server and your client. Things might work, and they might not. I believe this is the problem you need to fix.

HTH,
