This proposoal follows three design principles:
-
Make it easy to understand the affected part of the graph in relationship to querying it (Rationale: Minimize mental effort for using constraints and indices)
-
Re-use existing concepts as much as possible (i.e. patterns and expressions) (Rationale: Minimize amount of new concepts that need to be learned)
-
Use the same imperative form as all existing update and schema commands (verb first, like in
CREATE INDEX) and try to use similiar syntax structure for both constraint and index creation
