Integrate connectivity to Neo4J data with wizards in IntelliJ.

The CData JDBC Driver for Neo4J enables you to access Neo4J as a JDBC data source, providing integration with rapid development tools in IDEs. This article shows how to use the data source configuration wizard to connect to Neo4J data in IntelliJ.

Create a JBDC Data Source for Neo4J

Follow the steps below to add the driver JAR and define connection properties required to connect to Neo4J data.

  1. In the Data Sources window, right-click and then click Add Data Source -> DB Data Source.

  2. In the Data Source Properties dialog that appears, the following properties are required:

    • JDBC Driver Files: Click the button next to this menu to add the JDBC Driver file cdata.jdbc.neo4j.jar, located in the installation directory.
    • JDBC Driver Class: In this menu, select cdata.jdbc.neo4j.Neo4jDriver from the list.

    • Database URL: Enter the connection URL in the JDBC URL property. The URL must start with jdbc:neo4j: and includes connection properties separated with semicolons.

      To connect to Neo4j, set the following connection properties:

      • Server: The server hosting the Neo4j instance.
      • Port: The port on which the Neo4j service is running. The provider connects to port 7474 by default.
      • User: The username of the user using the Neo4j instance.
      • Password: The password of the user using the Neo4j instance.

      Built-in Connection String Designer

      For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Neo4J JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

      java -jar cdata.jdbc.neo4j.jar

      Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

      A typical JDBC URL is the following:

      jdbc:neo4j:Server=localhost;Port=7474;User=my_user;Password=my_password;

Edit and Save Neo4J Data

To discover schema information, right-click the data source you just created and click Refresh Tables. To query a table, right-click it and then click Open Tables Editor.
