ParentDriver

The ParentDriver class provides some general class methods available to all other mako drivers.

ParentDriver.close()

Closes the connection to the database.

ParentDriver.query(query, batch=None)
ParentDriver.write(query, batch=None)

Accepts a query (read or write) and provides the results. For batch queries, the batch parameter should contain a list of dictionaries, where each dictionary contains a key: value pair where the key matches a key in the Cypher query.

Batch queries should unwind the batch, like so:


query = "WITH $batch as batch " \
"UNWIND batch as record " \
"MERGE (a:Taxon {name:record.taxon}) RETURN a"

The string after record (here taxon) needs to match a dictionary key.

query: String containing Cypher query
batch: List of dictionaries for batch queries
