You have learned that you can use MERGE to create nodesA vertex in a graph. In a property graph it can carry labels and properties. and relationshipsA named, directed connection between two nodes. Every relationship has a type, a start node and an end node. in the graph. MERGE operations work by first trying to find a patternA graph structure written in Cypher, such as a node joined to another node by a relationship. in the graph. If the pattern is found then the data already exists and is not created. If the pattern is not found, then the data can be created.
