What RETURN Does

Every read query that produces output ends with a RETURN clause. It defines exactly which values come back to you.

Think of RETURN as the projection step of your query.

MATCH (p:Person)
RETURN p;

Returning Specific Properties

Instead of whole nodes, you can return individual properties using dot notation. This keeps results lean.

MATCH (p:Person)
RETURN p.name, p.age;

Aliasing with AS

Use AS to rename a returned column. This makes output clearer and is essential when returning computed values.

MATCH (p:Person)
RETURN p.name AS personName, p.age AS years;

Returning Relationships

You can return the relationship variable too, not just nodes. This is useful when you need relationship properties.

MATCH (a:Person)-[r:FRIEND]->(b:Person)
RETURN a.name, type(r), b.name;

Computed Expressions

RETURN can contain expressions: arithmetic, string functions, and more.

MATCH (p:Person)
RETURN p.name, p.age * 12 AS ageInMonths;

DISTINCT Results

Add DISTINCT to remove duplicate rows from the output, just like in SQL.

MATCH (p:Person)-[:LIVES_IN]->(c:City)
RETURN DISTINCT c.name;

Returning Literals

You can return constant values and labels for readability or debugging.

RETURN 'Hello Cypher' AS greeting, 1 + 1 AS sum;

Returning Multiple Patterns

A single RETURN can combine values from many matched variables, building rich rows.

MATCH (u:User)-[:PLACED]->(o:Order)
RETURN u.name, o.id, o.total;

Working with Functions

Useful functions in RETURN include id(), labels(), type(), and toUpper().

MATCH (p:Person)
RETURN labels(p) AS nodeLabels, toUpper(p.name) AS upperName;

Returning a Whole Path

Capture a path in a variable and return it to inspect the full chain of nodes and relationships.

MATCH path = (a:Person {name: 'Alice'})-[:FRIEND*1..2]->(b)
RETURN path;

Keeping Output Clean

Best practice: return only what you need. Returning entire nodes when you only use one property wastes bandwidth and clutters results.

Quick Check

Test your RETURN knowledge.
