neo4j-jdbc-sql2cypher-api

This project is a proof of concept how to use the default translator of the Neo4j JDBC Driver to translate SQL to Cypher.

Here are two possible example requests:

POST 127.0.0.1:8080/translate
Content-Type: text/plain

SELECT p, m FROM Person p
JOIN Movie m USING (ACTED_IN)

Or you can use a JSON body like this

POST 127.0.0.1:8080/translate
Content-Type: application/json

{
"sql": "SELECT name, born FROM People"
}

The application is not connected to a database, hence it has not any knowledge of a Neo4j database schema. When used with the full JDBC driver, translation is more accurate and has additional features, please read more on our official documentation SQL to Cypher translation.
