Creating multiple databases on one server using Neo4j

Question

How do you create multiple databases on one server using neo4j? I have multiple clients, and I want to separate all client information into different database to avoid data leaks.

Answer 1

You need to have multiple Neo4j installations with a different port configurations in conf/neo4j.properties and conf/neo4j-server.properties.

Alternatively you might use some virtualization or container tool like http//docker.io for a more sophisticated approach.

Answer 2

or add a special label to each node for a client, e.g. :ClientName. or create a root node for each clients database, and always begin the querying at the first node.

in neo4j db, you can have separate subgraphs. if you do programm your code good, there should be no reason to have such leaks.
