How to load a DB dump in community edition?

Open mangotee opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Hi, sorry, I am a neo4j beginner, and I am trying to follow instructions for session23. Specifically, I am trying to load the legislation database dump, as stated by the instructions in the README file:

Import the DB dump with the following command: ./neo4j-admin database load --from-path=/path..to..file/ legislation

Unfortunately, this loads the database into a new database called legislation instead of into the default neo4j database, as indicated here:

root@61389ec97be7:/var/lib/neo4j# neo4j-admin database info
Database name:                legislation
Database in use:              false
Store format version:         record-aligned-1.1
Store format introduced in:   5.0.0
Last committed transaction id:79
Store needs recovery:         false

Database name:                neo4j
Database in use:              true
Last committed transaction id:-1
Store needs recovery:         true

Database name:                system
Database in use:              true
Last committed transaction id:-1
Store needs recovery:         true

This database is not activated though (Database in use: False), and the documentation states that I cannot have multiple DBs in the community edition. How can I use the neo4j-admin command to either load the legislation dump's contents into the default neo4j DB, or rename it during the load?

Thanks in advance! :)
