How to export Memgraph graph as a series of Cypher statements, so I can use it to import the data to another instance or Neo4j?

Question

I have a Memgraph database running.

How to export Memgraph graph as a series of Cypher statements, so I can use it to import to another instance?

I was reading the documentation and only found how to Import Cypher, but not how to Export Cypher.

I would like a way to import/export as a text file containing the Cypher statements that I can use to transfer data into Neo4j/Memgraph server instances.

You can export your graph by using Memgraph Lab. If using the memgraph/memgraph-platform Docker image, you should be able to access Memgraph Lab locally in your browser at http://localhost:3000/ .

While on the Overview tab, search for the option Export database in the upper right corner.

It will download the graph.cypherl file

Here are the simple steps how to export your database to the cypherl file (Memgraph Lab version > 2.0.0):

Select Import & Export tab
Input the file name at the Export data section
Click on Export Data button

Once the data is finished downloading you'll have my_graph.cypherl locally.
