EXPLAIN clause

The EXPLAIN clause can be used to inspect a particular Cypher query in order to see its execution plan.

For example, the following query will return the execution plan:

EXPLAIN MATCH (n) RETURN n;

+----------------+
| QUERY PLAN     |
+----------------+
|  * Produce {n} |
|  * ScanAll (n) |
|  * Once        |
