Question

Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about this query?

MATCH (person:Person{name:"Charlie"})
MERGE(person)-[r:HAS_CHAUFFEUR]->(chauffeur:Chauffeur{name: person.chauffeurName})
RETURN person.name, person.chauffeurName, chauffeur

To tackle this question, I’ll walk through what each option is saying and compare it to how the Cypher query behaves.
Option 1: 'If the graph contains no node with Person label and a name property equal to “Charlie”, the query will execute with no change to the graph.' This is true. The MATCH clause requires a Person node with name = 'Charlie'. If none exists, the pattern fails to match and the MERGE and RETURN parts are not executed, so the graph remains unchanged.
Option 2: 'If the Person node with a name property equal to “Charlie” does not have a chauffeurName property, the query will execute with no change to the graph.' Here the claim is that the absence of chauffeurName would prevent any change. In reality, person.chauffeurName evaluates to null when the property is missing. The MERGE clause then tries to create or merge a Chauffeur node with name: null and a HAS_CHAUFFEUR relationship. Depending on how Neo4j handles a property set to null during MERGE, this can lead to creating a Chauffeur node without a meaningful name and establishing a relationship, i.e., a change to the graph. Therefore, this statement is not true.
Option 3: 'If the graph contains two Person nodes where each of them has a name property equal to “Chalie” and both nodes have the same value for the chauffeurName property, one Chauffer node will be created and two HAS_CHAUFFEUR relationships will be created.' This hinges on the difference between 'Charlie' and 'Chalie'. Since the MATCH looks for name = 'Charlie', having two nodes with name = 'Chalie' would not match the pattern at all, so no Chauffeur node or relationships would be created. If we interpret the statement literally as written, it would only be relevant if there were two Charlie nodes with chauffeurName equal values; as written, the scenario doesn’t align with the MATCH condition. Given that, the statement is not applicable in the actual execution and can be considered not true for the described graph state.
Option 4: 'If the graph contains two Person nodes where each of them has a name property equal to “Chalie” and each node has a different value for the chauffeurName property, two Chauffer nodes and two HAS_CHAUFFEUR relationships will be created.' Similar to Option 3, the key mismatch is the name value 'Chalie' vs the required 'Charlie'. If the graph truly had two nodes named 'Chalie', they would not participate in the MATCH, so no Chauffeur nodes or relationships would be created. Thus, under the stated condition, this outcome cannot happen, making the statement not true with respect to the actual query behavior.
In summary, the statement that asserts no changes occur when Charlie exists but lacks chauffeurName (Option 2) is the one that contradicts the behavior of MERGE with a null property value, which can still produce a new node and a relationship. The other options describe scenarios that either do not match the query’s MATCH condition (Options 3 and 4) or depend on the presence/absence of a Charlie with no chauffeurName (Option 2), but only Option 2 directly asserts a change-free outcome that isn’t guaranteed by the query semantics. Therefore, Option 2 is the NOT TRUE statement.
