Hi,
When I run the querry like MATCH (a) RETURN a
the result (all node properties) is in one column/string.
I know that I can write RETURN a.prop1, a.prop2,.... to have properties in each column. But I look for a universal solution like if I do not know which properties one node has.
How is possible to split the query result (string) in multiple columns?
Regards and thank you

AFAIK, currently there is no way to do something like that without specify explicitly the columns,
see cypher - How to return all the properties in Neo4j to be in diffrent columns - Stack Overflow and Dynamic result columns using Neo4j Cypher - Stack Overflow.
Anyway, I don't know if is useful for your use case,
but maybe you could split the result in rows instead of columns, for example:
MATCH (a)
WITH properties(a) as props
UNWIND keys(props) as propKey
RETURN propKey, props[propKey] as propValue
For example with this node, create (n:Test {a: 1, b: 2})
,
I get:
propKey | propValue
"a" | 1
"b" | 2
Sorry but this is not the case for me .... I need columns.
Anyway thank you for your answer it is also useful I learned something new
