How to get database names?

Answer 1

This will show you only the DATABASES names in cypher-shell:

  SHOW DATABASES yield name;

Example from python:

test.py

from neo4j import GraphDatabase

driver = GraphDatabase.driver("bolt://localhost:7687", auth=("neo4j", "password"))

with driver.session() as session:
    result = session.run("SHOW DATABASES yield name;")
    for line in result:
        print(line['name'])

When executed:

 python test.py 
 neo4j
 system
  

Tested in neo4j 4.2.1 , openjdk 11.0.15 2022-04-19 , python 3.7.0 , Ubuntu 20.04.4
