This section describes breaking changes for the neo4j-admin command.

From Neo4j 4.0 onwards, there are some changes for the neo4j-admin command:

  • --database option New

    Specify a database for a particular operation. If not specified, the default neo4j database is used.

  • --nodes option Changed

    The syntax has changed to:
    neo4j-admin import --nodes=[<label>[:<label>]…​=]<files>…​

  • --relationships option Changed

    The syntax has changed to:
    neo4j-admin import --relationships=[<type>=]<files>…​]…​

  • When importing data using neo4j-admin import, you must create the database (using CREATE DATABASE against the system database) after the import operation finishes. Otherwise, you cannot access the imported data.
