Apply FalkorDB Cypher limitations correctly
Account for known limitations in FalkorDB's Cypher implementation when designing queries.
Usage
Be aware of FalkorDB-specific limitations and design queries accordingly to avoid performance issues.
Example
# Not-equal filters are not index-accelerated
redis-cli GRAPH.QUERY social "MATCH (p:Person) WHERE p.age <> 30 RETURN p"
Notes
- Not-equal (
<>or!=) filters cannot use indexes and will perform full scans - Certain Cypher features may have different behavior in FalkorDB compared to other graph databases
- Always test queries with representative data to understand performance characteristics
- Review FalkorDB documentation for the complete list of limitations
- Plan query design around these limitations for optimal performance
