DELETE EDGE Syntax¶

The DELETE EDGE statement is used to delete edges. Given an edge type, the source vertex and the destination vertex, Nebula Graph supports DELETE the edge, its associated properties and the edge rank. You can also delete an edge with a certain rank. The syntax is as follows:

DELETE EDGE <edge_type> <vid> -> <vid>[@<rank>] [, <vid> -> <vid> ...]

For example,

nebula> DELETE EDGE follow 100 -> 200;

The above query deletes an edge whose source vertex is 100, destination vertex is 200, and the edge type is follow.

Nebula Graph will find the properties associated with the edge and delete all of them. Atomic operation is not guaranteed during the entire process for now, so please retry when failure occurs.
