Neo4j cypher keeping track of delete Nodes/relationships

Question

When I delete a Node, Relationship in Java executing Cypher:

MATCH (n { name: 'Andres' })-[r]-() DELETE n, r

or

DELETE (n) where id(n)=3;

is there a way to keep track of the Nodes, Relationships I've deleted? Getting the Id or the Object(Node/Rs).

Answer 1

You can use an transaction event handler

Or something like this change-feed extension

In general cypher can return statistics about the number of deleted entities in result.getQueryStatistics()
