apoc.lock.nodes
Procedure

This procedure is not considered safe to run from multiple threads. It is therefore not supported by the parallel runtime. For more information, see the Cypher Manual → Parallel runtime.

Details
Syntax	`apoc.lock.nodes(nodes)`
Description	Acquires a write lock on the given `NODE` values.
Input arguments	Name	Type	Description
Input arguments	`nodes`	`LIST<NODE>`	The list of nodes to acquire a write lock on.

Example

Given this dataset:

CREATE (:Person {name: 'Alice', age: 30})-[:KNOWS {since: 2019}]->(:Person {name: 'Bob', age: 25})

The following query acquires a write lock on a node before updating its property, preventing other transactions from reading or writing it until this transaction completes:

MATCH (n:Person {name: 'Alice'})
CALL apoc.lock.nodes([n])
SET n.age = n.age + 1
RETURN n.name AS name, n.age AS age

Results
name	age
"Alice"	31
