一直以来，我一直在使用neo4j的密码查询语言， 迈克尔一直在告诉我在查询中使用参数，但是查询的性能始终可以接受，因此我没有必要。 但是，最近我正在研究一个数据集，并使用类似于以下的代码创建了约500个节点：

require 'open-uri'open("data/people.cyp", 'w') { |f|(1..500).each do |value|f.puts("CREATE (p:Person{name: \"#{value}\"})")end
}

这将创建一个如下所示的cypher语句文件：

CREATE (:Person{name: "person1"})
CREATE (:Person{name: "person2"})
CREATE (:Person{name: "person3"})
CREATE (:Person{name: "person4"})
CREATE (:Person{name: "person5"})
...

如果我们在neo4j-shell或Web管理员中执行这些语句，则会得到以下输出：

==> +-------------------+
==> | No data returned. |
==> +-------------------+
==> Nodes created: 500
==> Properties set: 500
==> Labels added: 500
==> 27706 ms

据我了解，之所以需要这么长时间是因为密码创建然后为每个create语句缓存了一个查询计划，因为它无法知道它们实际上是相同的。 由于我经常删除/重新加载数据，因此我想使反馈循环更快一些，因此终于可以应用Michael的建议了。 参数的工作方式是在占位符查询中添加占位符，然后提供在执行查询时应用于验证那些占位符的值。 在这种情况下，似乎最简单的方法是利用neography对正在运行的neo4j服务器执行查询。 如果我们想用参数化名称创建一个人，那么我们将编写以下代码：

require 'neography'params = { :name => "Mark" }Neography::Rest.new.execute_query("CREATE (:Person {name: {name} })", params)

如果我们运行查询以检索所有人，我们可以看到他们已经成功创建：

neo4j-sh (0)$ match p:Person return p;
==> +----------------------+
==> | p                    |
==> +----------------------+
==> | Node[1]{name:"Mark"} |
==> +----------------------+
==> 1 row
==> 175 ms

我想传入一个我最初认为可以做到的名称数组，但将params哈希中的值更改为一个数组：

require 'neography'params = { :name => [] }
(1..500).each do |value|params[:name] << "person#{value}"
endNeography::Rest.new.execute_query("CREATE (:Person {name: {name} })", params)

我进行了一次查询以取回我的500个人，但只有一个人返回：

neo4j-sh (0)$ MATCH p:Person RETURN p
> ;

实际上，我实际上是通过使用参数来创建一个人的，并且将其“ name”属性设置为500个名字的数组！ 我调整了代码以传递地图数组而不是像这样的字符串：

require 'neography'params = { :people => [] }
(1..500).each do |value|params[:people] << { :name => "person#{value}"}
endNeography::Rest.new.execute_query("CREATE (:Person {people})", params)

我运行了脚本来填充数据库，然后再次查询它：

neo4j-sh (0)$ MATCH p:Person RETURN p;
==> +-----------------------------+
==> | p                           |
==> +-----------------------------+
==> | Node[1]{name:"person1"}     |
==> | Node[2]{name:"person2"}     |
==> | Node[3]{name:"person3"}     |
==> | Node[4]{name:"person4"}     |
==> | Node[5]{name:"person5"}     |
==> | Node[6]{name:"person6"}     |
==> | Node[7]{name:"person7"}     |
==> | Node[8]{name:"person8"}     |
==> | Node[9]{name:"person9"}     |
==> | Node[10]{name:"person10"}   |
==> | Node[11]{name:"person11"}   |
...
==> +-----------------------------+
==> 500 rows
==> 1081 ms

这次我得到了预期的结果，所以唯一要做的就是快速检查将参数化数据输入数据库所花费的时间：

$ time bundle exec ruby people.rb real	0m0.993s
user	0m0.733s
sys	0m0.097s

获胜者是…迈克尔，每次跑步大约26秒。

在此版本中，cypher首次遇到CREATE语句时会创建查询计划，但此后它可以将查询计划用于后续调用，从而极大地提高了性能。

Alistair指出，查询参数方法在应用程序中使用时非常好，因为您不必担心字符串连接，您只需更改映射中的值即可。

基于这种经验，我现在可以确认上周Max De Marzi的推文：

@ neo4j和Cypher 新手的公共服务公告：请在查询中使用参数http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/milestone/cypher-parameters.html #MuchFaster
