apoc.export.graphml.all
Procedure
apoc.export.graphml.all(file STRING, config MAP<STRING, ANY>)
- exports the full database to the provided GraphML file.
This procedure is not considered safe to run from multiple threads. It is therefore not supported by the parallel runtime (introduced in Neo4j 5.13). For more information, see the Cypher Manual → Parallel runtime. |

Usage Examples
The examples in this section are based on the following sample graph:
CREATE (TheMatrix:Movie {title:'The Matrix', released:1999, tagline:'Welcome to the Real World'})
CREATE (Keanu:Person {name:'Keanu Reeves', born:1964})
CREATE (Carrie:Person {name:'Carrie-Anne Moss', born:1967})

The apoc.export.graphml.all
procedure exports the whole database to a GraphML file or as a stream.
The following query exports the whole database to the file movies.graphml
:
CALL apoc.export.graphml.all("movies.graphml", {})
