This section introduces methods for the insertion of nodes and edges.
| Methods | Mechanism | Use Case | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
insertNodes()insertEdges() | Uses UQL under the hood. | Inserts a small number of nodes or edges. | |
insertNodesBatchBySchema()insertEdgesBatchBySchema() | Uses gRPC to send data directly to the server. | Inserts large volumes of nodes or edges of the same schema. | The property values must be assigned using Go data types that correspond to the Ultipa supported property types (see Property Type Mapping). |
insertNodesBatchAuto()insertEdgesBatchAuto() | Inserts large volumes of nodes or edges of different schemas. |
The mappings between Ultipa property types and Go data types are as follows:

The examples in this section demonstrate the insertion and deletion of nodes and edges in a graph based on the following schema and property definitions:

To create this graph structure, see the example provided here.
Inserts nodes to a schema in the graph.
