8) Mention which query language does Neo4j use and what is consist of?

10) Explain how you can create/delete databases in Neo4j?
To delete/remove entire graph directory you can use command rm –rf data/* as such Neo4j is not storing anything outside that.
11) Explain how Neo4j can be helpful in detecting Brute Force Attack?
Neo4J allows to store and retrieve multiple complex relations. The capability of Neo4j to do complex query in real time is really helpful in identifying a brute force attack much quicker. The most crucial thing in detecting such attacks is to capture enough information about each requests like
12) Mention how indexing is done in Neo4j?
There was no indexing in earlier days for Neo4j, but later on it was introduced with new feature Automatic Indexes by using the command
START n=node:node_auto_index(name='abc') RETURN n
13) Mention how files are stored in Neo4j?
Neo4j stores graph data in a number of different store files, and each store file consists of the data for a specific part of the graph for example relationships, nodes, properties etc. for example Neostore.nodestore.db, neostore.propertystore.db and so on.
14) Mention what Neo4j CQL command is used for?
Neo4j CQL command can be used for
15) Explain what Neo4j CQL MATCH command is used for?
The CQL MATCH command in NEO4j is used for
16) Explain what is the MATCH command syntax and what is the rule for using it?

IN[ <Collection-of-values>]
