Cypher create path in single query

Question

Is it possible to create the following path in a single cypher query?

Path: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3WHeKW1--8qajZRQmlBN082UG8/view?usp=sharing

Anyone any ideas?

Answer 1

The trick is that you can use as many CREATE and MERGE blocks as you like.

CREATE (a), (b), (c)
MERGE (a)-[:foo]->(b)
MERGE (a)-[:foo]->(c)
RETURN a,b,c;
