Sql2Cypher Experimental Transpiler from SQL to Cypher

This library is an experiment for converting SQL statements (first only read statements) to the appropriate Cypher equivalent.

It is currently in a pre-alpha stage.

Example

For example:

SELECT t.a, t.b
FROM my_table AS t
WHERE t.a = 1

can be translated into

MATCH (T:`MY_TABLE`)
WHERE T.A = 1
RETURN T.A, T.B

More examples can be found in the TCK.

Download

Please go to the early access download where we offer a bunch of binaries for various operating systems and architectures. These binaries come with a dedicated and prepackaged JVM, no need to install Java separately.

Here’s an example for macOS on Apple silicon, please adapt as necessary for your system and architecture:

curl -LO https://github.com/neo4j-contrib/sql2cypher/releases/download/early-access/sql2cypher-1.0-SNAPSHOT-osx-aarch_64.zip
mkdir -p sql2cypher
bsdtar xvf sql2cypher-1.0-SNAPSHOT-osx-aarch_64.zip --strip-components=1 -C sql2cypher
./sql2cypher/bin/sql2cypher -V

Usage

Usage: sql2cypher [-hV] [--disable-pretty-printing]
                  [--parse-name-case=<parseNameCase>]
                  [--sql-dialect=<sqlDialect>]
                  [--table-to-label-mapping=<String=String>]... <sql> [COMMAND]
Translates SQL statements to Cypher queries.
      <sql>       Any valid SQL statement that should be translated to Cypher
      --parse-name-case=<parseNameCase>
                  How to parse names; valid values are: AS_IS, LOWER,
                    LOWER_IF_UNQUOTED, UPPER, UPPER_IF_UNQUOTED, DEFAULT and
                    the default is LOWER_IF_UNQUOTED
      --table-to-label-mapping=<String=String>
                  A table name that should be mapped to a specific label,
                    repeat for multiple mappings
      --sql-dialect=<sqlDialect>
                  The SQL dialect to use for parsing; valid values are:
                    DEFAULT, CUBRID, DERBY, FIREBIRD, H2, HSQLDB, IGNITE,
                    MARIADB, MYSQL, POSTGRES, SQLITE, YUGABYTEDB and the
                    default is DEFAULT
      --disable-pretty-printing
                  Disables pretty printing
  -h, --help      Show this help message and exit.
  -V, --version   Print version information and exit.
Commands:
  help  Display help information about the specified command.
