Cypher Functions: How can i get the current timestamp (like now() function)?

[Michel Ávila]

I want to set a datetime property on some relationships using SET.

Something like:

set r.ts = now()

Any clue?

[Peter Neubauer]

Michel,

you want to store time as LONG, maybe as a parameter, something like

Map parameters = new HasMap()

parameters.put("date",new Date().getTime());

....

set r.ts = {date}

Cheers,

Hi Peter, thank you for the help.

By the way it looks, i feel like i can't simply put these statements in the middle of a cypher query, can i?
I must set these parameters before running the cypher query right?

Best regards,

[Michael Hunger]

Ya that's the way right now.

Cheers

Michael
