name	Use FalkorDB parameterized queries
description	Prefix read queries with CYPHER parameters for plan caching and safer value handling

Use FalkorDB parameterized queries

Pass user-supplied values as parameters so FalkorDB can cache and reuse the query plan.

Usage

Prefix the query with CYPHER and name=value declarations, then reference each value with $name inside the query body.

Example

CYPHER name='Alice'
MATCH (u:User {name: $name})
RETURN u.id

Notes

• Parameters let FalkorDB cache and reuse query execution plans, avoiding repeated parsing and planning.
• Declare values after the CYPHER keyword using name=value; reference them as $name.
• Prefer parameters for user-supplied values; this also avoids query-injection issues.
• Parameterization does not change the result shape; it only affects planning and safety.
