Skip enables the return of only subsets of the total result. By using skip, the result set will trimmed from the top. Please note that no guarantees are made on the order of the result unless the query species the order by clause.
To return a subset of the result, starting from third result, use this syntax:
Query
start n=(3, 4, 5, 1, 2) return n order by n.name skip 3
The first three nodes are skipped, and only the last two are returned.
Result
+--------------------+
| n |
+--------------------+
| Node[1]{name->"D"} |
| Node[2]{name->"E"} |
+--------------------+
2 rows, 1 msTo return a subset of the result, starting from somewhere in the middle, use this syntax:
Query
start n=(3, 4, 5, 1, 2) return n order by n.name skip 1 limit 2
Two nodes from the middle are returned
Result
+--------------------+
| n |
+--------------------+
| Node[4]{name->"B"} |
| Node[5]{name->"C"} |
