概述

NEXT语句串联多个语句，组成高级线性语句。

包含NEXT语句的查询仅返回由最后一个RETURN语句生成的最终表。

<next statement> ::= "NEXT" [ <yield clause> ] <statement>

<statement> ::= <linear data-accessing statement> | <composite query statement>

<linear data-accessing statement> ::=
  <simple linear data-accessing statement> <result statement>

<simple linear data-accessing statement> ::= <simple data-accessing statement>...

<simple data-accessing statement> ::= 
     <insert statement>
  | <set statement>
  | <remove statement>
  | <delete statement>
  | <match statement>
  | <filter statement>
  | <let statement>
  | <for statement>
  | <order by statement>
  | <limit statement>
  | <skip statement>
  | <call statement>

<result statement> ::= 
  <return statement> [ <order by statement> ] [ <skip statement> ] [ <limit statement> ]

详情

• NEXT语句之前必须有一个RETURN语句，以便将待引用的变量传递给NEXT后面的语句。
• YIELD从句可用来选择和重命名变量，以供后续查询使用。

示例图集

以下示例根据该图集运行：

在空图集中运行以下语句创建示例图集：

INSERT (rowlock:User {_id: 'U01', name: 'rowlock'}),
       (brainy:User {_id: 'U02', name: 'Brainy'}),
       (purplechalk:User {_id: 'U03', name: 'purplechalk'}),
       (mochaeach:User {_id: 'U04', name: 'mochaeach'}),
       (lionbower:User {_id: 'U05', name: 'lionbower'}),
       (c01:Club {_id: 'C01'}),
       (c02:Club {_id: 'C02'}),
       (rowlock)-[:Follows]->(brainy),
       (mochaeach)-[:Follows]->(brainy),
       (purplechalk)-[:Follows]->(mochaeach),
       (purplechalk)-[:Follows]->(lionbower),
       (brainy)-[:Joins {memberNo: 1}]->(c01),
       (lionbower)-[:Joins {memberNo: 2}]->(c01),
       (mochaeach)-[:Joins {memberNo: 9}]->(c02)

基本用法

本条查询返回的用户被U03关注，同时是C01的成员：

MATCH ({_id: "C01"})<-[:Joins]-(u1:User)
RETURN u1

NEXT

MATCH ({_id: "U03"})-[:Follows]->(u2:User)
WHERE u2 = u1
RETURN u2

结果：u2

使用分组结果

本条查询返回会员数最多的俱乐部中各用户的名字：

MATCH (c:Club)<-[:Joins]-()
RETURN c, count(c) AS cnt GROUP BY c
ORDER BY cnt DESC LIMIT 1

NEXT

MATCH (c)<-[:Joins]-(u)
RETURN collect_list(u.name)

结果：

使用Using Aggregated Result

本条查询插入从U01指向C01的新边Joins，并将memberNo属性设为下一个最大值：

MATCH ({_id: "C01"})<-[e1:Joins]-()
RETURN max(e1.memberNo) AS maxNo

NEXT

MATCH (u {_id: "U01"}), (c {_id: "C01"})
INSERT (c)<-[e2:Joins {memberNo: maxNo + 1}]-(u)
RETURN e2

结果：e2

NEXT YIELD

本条查询用户purplechalk关注的用户所在的社团：

LET name = "purplechalk"
MATCH (:User {name: name})-[:Follows]->(u:User)
RETURN *

NEXT YIELD u

MATCH (u)-[:Joins]->(c:Club)
RETURN collect_list(c._id)

结果：
