Run in this exact order — skipping causes hard-to-debug duplicates or missed index usage:
Constraints BEFORE import. Additional indexes AFTER import.
populationPercent until 100%Create uniqueness constraints (enables index used by MERGE):
CREATE CONSTRAINT IF NOT EXISTS FOR (n:Person) REQUIRE n.id IS UNIQUE;
CREATE CONSTRAINT IF NOT EXISTS FOR (n:Movie) REQUIRE n.movieId IS UNIQUE;
Neo4j 2026.06+ (Enterprise/Aura, GA):
ALTER CURRENT GRAPH TYPE SET { … }replaces all individual constraint statements with a single declarative block. Seeneo4j-cypher-skill/references/graph-type.md. Use individualCREATE CONSTRAINTon Community Edition or pre-2026.02.
Verify APOC if using apoc. procedures*:
RETURN apoc.version();
If fails → APOC not installed. Use plain LOAD CSV instead.
Confirm target is PRIMARY (not replica):
CALL dbms.cluster.role() YIELD role RETURN role;
If role ≠ PRIMARY → stop. Redirect write to PRIMARY endpoint.
Count source file rows before import (catch encoding issues early):
wc -l data/persons.csv # Linux/macOS
Verify UTF-8 encoding — LOAD CSV requires UTF-8. Re-encode if needed:
file -i persons.csv # Check encoding
iconv -f latin1 -t utf-8 persons.csv > persons_utf8.csv

# Neo4j Import Skill
## When to Use
- Importing CSV, JSON, or Parquet files into Neo4j
- Batch-upserting nodes and relationships (UNWIND + CALL IN TRANSACTIONS)
- Migrating relational data (SQL → graph)
- Bulk-loading large datasets offline (neo4j-admin import)
- Choosing between online (Cypher) and offline (admin) import methods
- Verifying import completeness (counts, constraints, index states)
## When NOT to Use
- **Unstructured docs, PDFs, vector chunks** → `neo4j-document-import-skill`
- **Live application writes (MERGE/CREATE in app code)** → `neo4j-cypher-skill`
- **neo4j-admin backup/restore/config** → `neo4j-cli-tools-skill`
- **GDS algorithm projection from existing graph** → `neo4j-gds-skill`
---
## Method Decision Table
| Dataset size | DB state | Source | Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Any size | Online | CSV (Aura or local) | LOAD CSV + CALL IN TRANSACTIONS |
| < 1M rows | Online | List/API response | UNWIND + CALL IN TRANSACTIONS |
| > 10M rows | **Offline** (local/self-managed) | CSV / Parquet | `neo4j-admin database import full` |
| Any size | Online | APOC available | `apoc.periodic.iterate` + `apoc.load.csv` |
| Any size | Online | JSON/API | `apoc.load.json` or driver batching |
| Incremental delta | Offline (Enterprise) | CSV | `neo4j-admin database import incremental` |
**Aura**: only `https://` URLs — no `file:///`. Use neo4j-admin import only on self-managed.
---
## Pre-Import Checklist
Run in this exact order — skipping causes hard-to-debug duplicates or missed index usage:
**Constraints BEFORE import. Additional indexes AFTER import.**
- Constraints create implicit RANGE indexes used by MERGE during load + enforce uniqueness
- Additional non-unique indexes (TEXT, RANGE on non-key props, FULLTEXT) created after load — Neo4j populates them async from the committed data; poll `populationPercent` until 100%
- Creating extra indexes before import slows every write during load with no benefit
1. **Create uniqueness constraints** (enables index used by MERGE):
```cypher
CREATE CONSTRAINT IF NOT EXISTS FOR (n:Person) REQUIRE n.id IS UNIQUE;
CREATE CONSTRAINT IF NOT EXISTS FOR (n:Movie) REQUIRE n.movieId IS UNIQUE;
```
> **Neo4j 2026.06+ (Enterprise/Aura, GA):** `ALTER CURRENT GRAPH TYPE SET { … }` replaces all individual constraint statements with a single declarative block. See `neo4j-cypher-skill/references/graph-type.md`. Use individual `CREATE CONSTRAINT` on Community Edition or pre-2026.02.
2. **Verify APOC if using apoc.* procedures**:
```cypher
RETURN apoc.version();
```
If fails → APOC not installed. Use plain LOAD CSV instead.
3. **Confirm target is PRIMARY** (not replica):
```cypher
CALL dbms.cluster.role() YIELD role RETURN role;
```
If role ≠ `PRIMARY` → stop. Redirect write to PRIMARY endpoint.
4. **Count source file rows** before import (catch encoding issues early):
```bash
wc -l data/persons.csv # Linux/macOS
```
5. **Verify UTF-8 encoding** — LOAD CSV requires UTF-8. Re-encode if needed:
```bash
file -i persons.csv # Check encoding
iconv -f latin1 -t utf-8 persons.csv > persons_utf8.csv
```
---
## LOAD CSV Patterns
### Basic node import with type coercion and null handling
```cypher
CYPHER 25
LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM 'file:///persons.csv' AS row
CALL (row) {
MERGE (p:Person {id: row.id})
ON CREATE SET
p.name = row.name,
p.age = toIntegerOrNull(row.age),
p.score = toFloatOrNull(row.score),
p.active = toBoolean(row.active),
p.born = CASE WHEN row.born IS NOT NULL AND row.born <> '' THEN date(row.born) ELSE null END,
p.createdAt = datetime()
ON MATCH SET
p.updatedAt = datetime()
} IN TRANSACTIONS OF 10000 ROWS
ON ERROR CONTINUE
REPORT STATUS AS s
RETURN s.transactionId, s.committed, s.errorMessage
```
Null/empty-string rules:
- CSV missing column → `null` (safe)
- CSV empty string `""` → stored as `""` **not** `null` — use `nullIf(row.x, '')` to convert
- `toInteger(null)` throws → always use `toIntegerOrNull()`
- `toFloat(null)` throws → always use `toFloatOrNull()`
- Neo4j never stores `null` properties — they are silently dropped on SET
### Relationship import (nodes must exist first)
```cypher
CYPHER 25
LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM 'file:///knows.csv' AS row
CALL (row) {
MATCH (a:Person {id: row.fromId})
MATCH (b:Person {id: row.toId})
MERGE (a)-[:KNOWS {since: toIntegerOrNull(row.year)}]->(b)
} IN TRANSACTIONS OF 5000 ROWS
ON ERROR CONTINUE
REPORT STATUS AS s
```
Always import ALL nodes before ANY relationships — MATCH fails on missing nodes.
### Tab-separated or custom delimiter
```cypher
CYPHER 25
LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM 'file:///data.tsv' AS row FIELDTERMINATOR '\t'
CALL (row) { MERGE (p:Person {id: row.id}) }
IN TRANSACTIONS OF 10000 ROWS ON ERROR CONTINUE
```
### Compressed files (ZIP / gzip — local files only)
```cypher
LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM 'file:///archive.csv.gz' AS row ...
```
### Cloud storage (Enterprise Edition)
| Scheme | Example |
|---|---|
| AWS S3 | `s3://my-bucket/data/persons.csv` |
| Google Cloud Storage | `gs://my-bucket/persons.csv` |
| Azure Blob | `azb://account/container/persons.csv` |
### Useful built-in functions inside LOAD CSV
```cypher
linenumber() // current line number — use as fallback ID
file() // absolute path of file being loaded
```
---
## CALL IN TRANSACTIONS — Full Reference
### Syntax
```cypher
CALL (row) {
// write logic
} IN [n CONCURRENT] TRANSACTIONS
[OF batchSize ROW[S]]
[ON ERROR {CONTINUE | BREAK | FAIL | RETRY [FOR duration SECONDS] [THEN {CONTINUE|BREAK|FAIL}]}]
[REPORT STATUS AS statusVar]
```
### ON ERROR modes
| Mode | Behavior | Use when |
|---|---|---|
| `ON ERROR FAIL` | Default. Rolls back entire outer tx on first error | All-or-nothing strict import |
| `ON ERROR CONTINUE` | Skips failed batch, continues remaining batches | Resilient bulk load — track errors via REPORT STATUS |
| `ON ERROR BREAK` | Stops after first failed batch; keeps completed work | Semi-strict: stop early, keep successful batches |
| `ON ERROR RETRY` | Exponential backoff retry (default 30s) + fallback | Concurrent writes with deadlock risk |
`ON ERROR CONTINUE/BREAK` → outer transaction **succeeds** even if inner batches fail.
`ON ERROR FAIL` → cannot be combined with `REPORT STATUS AS`.
### CONCURRENT TRANSACTIONS (parallel batches)
```cypher
CYPHER 25
LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM 'file:///large.csv' AS row
CALL (row) {
MERGE (p:Person {id: row.id}) SET p.name = row.name
} IN 4 CONCURRENT TRANSACTIONS OF 5000 ROWS
ON ERROR RETRY FOR 30 SECONDS THEN CONTINUE
REPORT STATUS AS s
```
Use CONCURRENT for read-heavy MERGE on non-overlapping key spaces. Risk: deadlocks on overlapping writes → combine with `ON ERROR RETRY`.
### REPORT STATUS columns
| Column | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| `s.started` | BOOLEAN | Batch transaction started |
| `s.committed` | BOOLEAN | Batch committed successfully |
| `s.transactionId` | STRING | Transaction ID |
| `s.errorMessage` | STRING or null | Error detail if batch failed |
### Batch size guidance
| Row count | Recommended batch size | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| < 100k | 10 000 | Default is fine |
| 100k – 1M | 10 000 – 50 000 | Monitor heap; increase if fast |
| 1M – 10M | 50 000 – 100 000 | Enable CONCURRENT if CPUs available |
| > 10M online | 50 000 | Consider neo4j-admin import instead |
| Relationship import | 5 000 | Lower — each batch does 2x MATCH |
---
## neo4j-admin import (Offline Bulk Load)
Fastest method: ~3 min for 31M nodes / 78M rels on SSD. DB must be stopped or non-existent.
### Command structure
```bash
neo4j-admin database import full \
--nodes=Person="persons_header.csv,persons.csv" \
--nodes=Movie="movies_header.csv,movies.csv" \
--relationships=ACTED_IN="acted_in_header.csv,acted_in.csv" \
--relationships=DIRECTED="directed_header.csv,directed.csv" \
--delimiter=, \
--id-type=STRING \
--bad-tolerance=0 \
--threads=$(nproc) \
--high-parallel-io=on \
neo4j
```
**Dry run** (2026.02+) — validate without writing:
```bash
neo4j-admin database import full --dry-run ...
```
### Node header file format
```
# persons_header.csv
personId:ID,name,born:int,score:float,active:boolean,:LABEL
```
```
# persons.csv (data file — no header row)
p001,Alice,1985,9.2,true,Person
p002,Bob,1990,7.1,false,Person
```
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `:ID` | Unique ID for relationship wiring (not stored as property by default) |
| `:ID(Group)` | Scoped ID space — use when node types share IDs |
| `:LABEL` | One or more labels; semicolon-separated: `Person;Employee` |
| `prop:int` | Typed property; types: `int long float double boolean byte short string` |
| `prop:date` | Temporal: `date localtime time localdatetime datetime duration`; Parquet `INTERVAL` columns import as `DURATION` [2026.07+] |
| `prop:int[]` | Array — semicolon-separated values in cell: `1;2;3` |
| `prop:vector` | Float vector (2025.10+) — semicolon-separated coordinates in CSV; imports directly from native Parquet list types [2026.06+] |
### Relationship header file format
```
# acted_in_header.csv
:START_ID(Person),:END_ID(Movie),role,:TYPE
```
```
# acted_in.csv
p001,tt0133093,Neo,ACTED_IN
p002,tt0133093,Morpheus,ACTED_IN
```
`:START_ID` / `:END_ID` must reference the same `:ID` group as the node files.
### Key flags
| Flag | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `--delimiter` | `,` | Single-byte UTF-8 char, `TAB`, `\ID`, or `U+XXXX`; newline chars rejected [2026.07+] |
| `--vector-delimiter` | `;` | Separates `prop:vector` coordinates; must differ from `--delimiter` and `--quote` [enforced 2026.06+] |
| `--id-type` | `STRING` | `STRING \| INTEGER \| ACTUAL` |
| `--bad-tolerance` | `-1` (unlimited, changed 2025.12) | Set `0` for strict prod imports |
| `--threads` | CPU count | Set explicitly on shared hosts |
| `--max-off-heap-memory` | 90% RAM | Reduce if other services share host |
| `--high-parallel-io` | `off` | Set `on` for SSD/NVMe |
| `--format` | `standard` | `block` for >34B nodes/rels |
| `--overwrite-destination` | false | Required if DB already exists |
| `--dry-run` | false | 2026.02+ — validate without writing |
### Schema file (--schema) [Enterprise, block format]
Pass a Cypher file with `CREATE CONSTRAINT` / `CREATE INDEX` statements; executed automatically after import completes. Constraints are created first (correct order enforced). File paths can be local or remote (`s3://`, `gs://`, `https://`).
```bash
neo4j-admin database import full \
--format=block \
--schema=schema.cypher \
--nodes=Person="persons_header.csv,persons.csv" \
neo4j
```
```cypher
// schema.cypher
CREATE CONSTRAINT person_id IF NOT EXISTS FOR (n:Person) REQUIRE n.id IS UNIQUE;
CREATE CONSTRAINT movie_id IF NOT EXISTS FOR (n:Movie) REQUIRE n.id IS UNIQUE;
CREATE RANGE INDEX person_email IF NOT EXISTS FOR (n:Person) ON (n.email);
CREATE TEXT INDEX movie_title IF NOT EXISTS FOR (n:Movie) ON (n.title);
```
For incremental import, `DROP CONSTRAINT` / `DROP INDEX` are also supported [2025.02+] — used to remove indexes before the merge phaSkill source recorded
