Clauses

A Cypher or GQL statement is a pipeline of clauses. These pages are grouped by the job a clause does in that pipeline rather than alphabetically; every page has the same shape.

Clauses marked GQL come from ISO/IEC 39075. They are accepted wherever a Cypher statement is accepted — there is no separate mode. See GQL conformance for which parts of the standard are supported.
