Neo4J中嵌套的FOREACH Cypher运行无限

我尝试运行以下查询,其中我在数据库和10个国家/地区拥有10个链。并使用20个地址的数组。 然后我循环通过那些为国家,连锁店和地址的每个组合创建一个商店,期待10 * 10 * 20组合 - 2000个商店。 但相反,查询运行直到创建大约200,000条记录,然后停止并显示未知错误。

MATCH (Chains:Chain), (Countries:Country)
WITH Collect(Chains) as ch, 
     Collect(Countries) as cou, 
['Ullevål','Blindern','Centrum','Kringså','Lysaker','Skøyen','Fornebu','Stortinget','Nationalteatre','KarlJohan',
'Gamle','Grunerløkka','Grønland','Majorstuen','Snarøya','Asker','Sandvika','Drammen','Gothenburg','Stockholm'] as addresses

FOREACH(country in cou |
    FOREACH (c in ch |
            FOREACH (a in addresses |
                CREATE (s:Store {name:c.name+"_"+a, address:a})
                CREATE (s-[:BELONGS_TO]->c)
                CREATE (s-[:IN]->country)               )))

如果您有以下数据......

FOREACH (i IN RANGE(1, 10) | 
    CREATE (:Chain {name:'Chain' + i}), 
           (:Country {name:'Country' + i})
)

...查询的第一部分

MATCH (Chains:Chain), (Countries:Country)
WITH COLLECT(Chains) AS ch, COLLECT(Countries) AS cou

将导致chcou的长度为100的集合,因为MATCH正在检索笛卡尔积(10 ^ 2 = 100)。这就是您的200,000条记录的来源:100 * 100 * 20.您可以通过以下方式验证:

MATCH (Chains:Chain), (Countries:Country)
WITH COLLECT(Chains) AS ch, COLLECT(Countries) AS cou
RETURN LENGTH(ch), LENGTH(cou)

会告诉你每个集合的长度为100:

LENGTH(ch)  LENGTH(cou)
100         100

您可以在查询的第一部分使用COLLECT(DISTINCT thing)来解决此问题,只收集唯一的内容......

MATCH (Chains:Chain), (Countries:Country)
WITH COLLECT(DISTINCT Chains) AS ch, COLLECT(DISTINCT Countries) AS cou
RETURN LENGTH(ch), LENGTH(cou)

...会告诉您chcou是10个集合:

LENGTH(ch)  LENGTH(cou)
10          10

现在你的嵌套FOREACH将创建10 * 10 * 20 = 2000条记录:

MATCH (Chains:Chain), (Countries:Country)
WITH Collect(DISTINCT Chains) as ch, 
     Collect(DISTINCT Countries) as cou, 
     ['Ullevål','Blindern','Centrum','Kringså','Lysaker','Skøyen','Fornebu','Stortinget','Nationalteatre','KarlJohan',
      'Gamle','Grunerløkka','Grønland','Majorstuen','Snarøya','Asker','Sandvika','Drammen','Gothenburg','Stockholm'] as addresses

FOREACH(country in cou |
    FOREACH (c in ch |
        FOREACH (a in addresses |
            CREATE (s:Store {name:c.name+"_"+a, address:a})
            CREATE (s-[:BELONGS_TO]->c)
            CREATE (s-[:IN]->country)               )))

"添加了2000个标签,创建了2000个节点,设置了4000个属性,创建了4000个关系,在1262毫秒内返回了0行。"
