This article explains how to validate Neo4j Cypher queries for migration to Amazon Neptune using the openCypher Compatibility Checker tool.
- Tool identifies Neo4j-specific syntax, functions, and patterns incompatible with Neptune
- Generates detailed reports showing which queries need modification or restructuring
- Requires Java 17+ and Neo4j queries exported in JSON format
- Processes batch queries and returns compatibility analysis with error positions
- Common issues: FOREACH clauses, APOC procedures, predicate functions need rewriting
- Unsupported features can be replaced with UNWIND, list comprehension, or native Neptune functions
