LIMIT

LIMIT constrains the number of records in the output.

Introduction

LIMIT accepts any expression that evaluates to a positive integer.

To return a subset of the result, starting from the top, use this syntax:

Query

SELECT * 
FROM cypher('graph_name', $$
	MATCH (n)RETURN n.name
	ORDER BY n.name
	LIMIT 3
$$) as (names agtype);

The node is returned, and no property age exists on it.

Result

Limit accepts any expression that evaluates to a positive integer as long as it is not referring to any external variables:

Query

SELECT *
FROM cypher('graph_name', $$
	MATCH (n)
	RETURN n.name
	ORDER BY n.name
	LIMIT toInteger(3 * rand()) + 1
$$) as (names agtype);

Returns one to three top items.
