RETURN Syntax

The RETURN statement is used to return the result when the condition is true. If the condition is false, no result is returned.

    RETURN <var_ref> IF <var_ref> IS NOT NULL
  • is a variable name, e.g. $var.

Examples

nebula> $A = GO FROM 100 OVER follow YIELD follow._dst AS dst; \
        $rA = YIELD $A.* WHERE $A.dst == 101; \
        RETURN $rA IF $rA is NOT NULL; \ /* Returns the result because $rA is not empty */
        GO FROM $A.dst OVER follow; /* As the RETURN statement returns the result, the GO FROM statement is not executed*/
==========
| $A.dst |

| 101    |

        $rA = YIELD $A.* WHERE $A.dst == 300; \
        RETURN $rA IF $rA is NOT NULL; \ /* Does not return the result because $rA is empty */
        GO FROM $A.dst OVER follow; /* As the RETURN statement does not return the result, the GO FROM statement is executed */
