Testing List Inclusion

Neo4j supports storing a single value or an array of values of the same type within a property.

In our data model, every :Movie node has a languages property which contains an array of strings. For example ['English', 'German', 'Italian'].

Finding German Language Movies

Write and execute a query to return movies released in the "German" language.

Note: You only need to search for "German"; there are elements in the database that have " German" as a language. You do not need to count these.

How many Movie node names are returned?

  • ✓ 105

Hint

Use IN to test whether "German" is in the languages list property for the Movie node.
