Database-level validation of Neo4j

Question

I am using Neo4j as my graph database. Suppose I want to limit the length of User's name field to be less then 10, is there any way to impost such constraint on the database level?

Answer 1

Right now you'd have to do that either on application level, or by registering a transaction-commit hook that checks that property-field for a certain criterium.
