I want to add a new property to the node using SET clause. But an error is occurred and query is not executed.
1) 1st command and error message :
MATCH (j {name:'Jack'}) SET j.hobby = 'Playing the guitar';
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type json
LINE 1: match (j {name:'Jack'}) SET j.hobby = 'Playing the guitar';
^
DETAIL: Token "Playing" is invalid.
CONTEXT: JSON data, line 1: Playing...
2) 2nd command and error message :
MATCH (j {name:'Jack'}) SET j.hobby = "Playing the guitar";
ERROR: column "Playing the guitar" does not exist
LINE 1: match (j {name:'Jack'}) SET j.hobby = "Playing the guitar";
To add a new property to the node, I wrote query like 1). I replaced it with double quotation marks like 2), because an error occurred in the single quotation marks. But, 2) query also causes an error.
How can I add a new property to the node?
AgensGraph supports properties on nodes and relationships by using jsonb
type. So, if you want to add a string value as a property, the value must be a valid JSON string like '"Playing the guitar"'
. It is somewhat inconvenient to write such queries, but that's how it currently works.
