Use parameterized queries for cache reuse

Use parameters in your queries to enable query plan caching and improve performance.

Usage

Prefix your query with CYPHER followed by parameter declarations. Reference parameters with $ syntax in the query body.

Example

redis-cli GRAPH.QUERY social "CYPHER name='Alice' MATCH (u:User {name: $name}) RETURN u.id"

Notes

• Parameterized queries allow FalkorDB to cache and reuse query execution plans
• Parameters are declared after the CYPHER keyword using name=value syntax
• Parameters are referenced in the query using $name syntax
• This improves performance by avoiding repeated query parsing and planning
• Parameterized queries also provide better security by preventing injection attacks
