//setup
[source,cypher]
----
CREATE (a:Label {name:'A'}), (b:Label {name:'B'}), (c:Label {name:'C'})
RETURN a,b,c
----

This is the start data:

// graph

//table

Now we run this query

//output
[source,cypher]
----
MERGE (a:Label {name:'A'})
MERGE (a)-[:KNOWS]->(b:Label {name:'B'})
RETURN a,b
----

The graph now looks like:

//table

//graph

[source,cypher]
----
MATCH (n)
RETURN n
----

//table

//graph
