🔍 Code Extractor

Initializes the Neo4j database schema by creating required constraints, indexes, root nodes, audit trails, and migrating existing data structures to current schema versions.

Purpose

This function serves as the primary database initialization routine for a Neo4j-based document management system (CDocs). It ensures the database has all necessary schema elements including constraints and indexes, creates essential root nodes (CDocs root and audit trail), initializes document counters based on existing data, and performs data migrations for approval systems and audit events. The function is protected by a guard_execution decorator with a 5-second cooldown to prevent rapid repeated executions.

Parameters

Parameter Details

driver: A Neo4j Driver instance that provides the connection to the Neo4j database. This driver is used to create sessions for executing Cypher queries and must be properly configured and connected before calling this function.

Return Value

Type: bool

Returns a boolean value: True if the schema initialization completed successfully (all queries executed, root nodes created, migrations completed), or False if any exception occurred during the process. Note that individual query failures are logged but don't immediately halt execution; the function attempts to complete all initialization steps.

Dependencies

• neo4j
• logging
• uuid
• typing
• traceback
• CDocs

Required Imports

import logging
import uuid
import traceback
from typing import Dict, List, Any, Optional, Tuple
from neo4j import Driver, Session, Transaction
from CDocs import guard_execution, db

Usage Example

from neo4j import GraphDatabase
from CDocs import initialize_schema
import logging

# Configure logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

# Create Neo4j driver
driver = GraphDatabase.driver(
    'bolt://localhost:7687',
    auth=('neo4j', 'password')
)

try:
    # Initialize the schema
    success = initialize_schema(driver)
    
    if success:
        print('Schema initialized successfully')
    else:
        print('Schema initialization failed')
finally:
    driver.close()

Best Practices

• Always call this function during application startup before performing any database operations
• Ensure the Neo4j driver is properly connected and authenticated before calling this function
• The guard_execution decorator prevents rapid repeated calls; respect the 5-second cooldown period
• Monitor logs for individual query failures as the function continues execution even if some queries fail
• Run this function with appropriate database privileges to create constraints and indexes
• Consider running this in a transaction-safe manner during production deployments
• The function is idempotent for most operations (constraints, indexes) but migrations may have side effects
• Ensure all helper functions (ensure_audit_trail_exists, migrate_audit_events, etc.) are available in scope
• Test schema initialization in a development environment before applying to production
• Review SCHEMA_INITIALIZATION_QUERIES to understand what constraints and indexes will be created
