Hi,

I am a relative newbie to the world of cypher programming, and therefore hoping for a solution to this problem from the experts community here.

I am creating a graph from an excel file, which contains different categories, items and so on. One item can belong to multiple categories and so on.

I have generated the relevant create relationship statements (there are about 200 of them). However, when i put them through neo4j browser, the interface complains that i can only run one match - create command at a time.

i am not using any other programming language or their API and simply using neo4j browser to achieve this.

Kindly suggest path forward.

my env : neo4j desktop 4.1.3 on Windows 10 Enterprise.  
apoc plugin is enabled, but i m not using it yet.

Thanks  
raghav
