How to return all the properties in Neo4j to be in diffrent columns
I know, we can export neo4j database to CSV file by clicking a ready button.
After we implement this cypher query:
Match (n)
return n
But this query gives us all the properties as 1 rows.
My question is: which Cypher query to implement, before exporting to CSV file to give us all the properties as in separate columns, even if the nodes do not have the same properties,
For example:
node(0) has: name, age.
node(1) has: name, age.
node(2) has: name, address.
node(3) has: name, phone No.
node(4) has: name, age.
node(5) has: name, DoB.
I need the result to be as:
name age address phone No DoB

One way is to use apoc to export it as CSV.
CALL apoc.export.csv.query("MATCH (n) return n", "/tmp/results.csv", {})
Sample result looks like this, which you can transform to a structure you like using other tools like jq:

To truly get the format you want, you need to explicitly state every column in your Cypher
MATCH (n) RETURN n.name as name, n.age as age, n.address as address, n.'phone No' as 'phone no', n.DoB as DoB
A simpler alternative would be to export the properties as a map, and then just set them when loading. Without apoc though, setting the labels again also needs to be explicit.
MATCH (n) RETURN PROPERTIES(n) as props, LABELS(n) as labels
-----
LOAD CSV ... as csv
// without apoc
CREATE(n)
SET n=csv.props
// or with apoc
CALL apoc.create.node(csv.labels, csv.props) YIELD node

Yes this solution ideal when you have a small dataset and you know in advanced what properties that you have, but in case of a large dataset how we get all properties without losing any,,

@nana In Cypher, you have to explicitly name every column you are returning. Depending on why you need the csv in this format, It would probably be easier toRETURN PROPERTIES(n)and than re-parse the output csv to the format you want with a short java/python script.
