Errors in Go's Driver Manual

[mariecurried]

I'm new to Neo4j and I've been playing around with the whole platform. Lately, I've been experimenting with interacting with the DB from a Go program.
While reading the Driver Manual, I found a couple of errors in the examples.
In the section "3.3. Causal chaining", the function makeFriend is not using the bookmarks argument, which leads to an incorrect example.
In the section " 4.1. The Cypher type system", the equivalent to Neo4j's null type in Go is nil, not null.
In section "4.2.3. Consuming the stream", in the example a Session is created with AccessModeWrite, but the transaction run only reads. In spite of not making a difference in practice, I think it should be changed to AccessModeRead for consistency.

Thanks in advance,
Maria

Hi @marigonzes,

Thank you for reporting the inconsistencies you've discovered.

We've fixed the problems you've pointed and they will be published just after the release of the next patch version, 1.7.2.

Thanks.

Don't know if this is the best place to ask a question, but here it goes:

• Is it necessary to consume a result from a Session or a Transaction if I don't need it's contents, for example, when executing a CREATE request? I ask this, because sometimes, if I don't consume the result, the values are not written to the server.

It would definitely be better to direct your questions to our community site, available at https://community.neo4j.com.

The behaviour you’re experiencing is related with a bug, resolved with #42 and will be available with 1.7.2 release. In the meantime, it is best to explicitly call result.Consume() as you’ve already discovered.
