Neo4j JDBC driver error “setEscapeProcessing is not supported by Neo4jStatement” in SQL Workbench/J

Question

I want to execute multiple semi-colon delimited Cypher statements in SQL Workbench/J the same way I can run multiple selected SQL statements with the Ctrl+E shortcut.

Here is a small example (modified from the movies dataset):

CREATE (TheMatrix:Movie {title:'The Matrix', released:1999, tagline:'Welcome to the Real World'});
CREATE (Keanu:Person {name:'Keanu Reeves', born:1964});
CREATE (Carrie:Person {name:'Carrie-Anne Moss', born:1967});
CREATE (Laurence:Person {name:'Laurence Fishburne', born:1961});
CREATE (Hugo:Person {name:'Hugo Weaving', born:1960});
CREATE (AndyW:Person {name:'Andy Wachowski', born:1967});
CREATE (LanaW:Person {name:'Lana Wachowski', born:1965});
CREATE (JoelS:Person {name:'Joel Silver', born:1952});
CREATE
  (Keanu)-[:ACTED_IN {roles:['Neo']}]->(TheMatrix),
  (Carrie)-[:ACTED_IN {roles:['Trinity']}]->(TheMatrix),
  (Laurence)-[:ACTED_IN {roles:['Morpheus']}]->(TheMatrix),
  (Hugo)-[:ACTED_IN {roles:['Agent Smith']}]->(TheMatrix),
  (AndyW)-[:DIRECTED]->(TheMatrix),
  (LanaW)-[:DIRECTED]->(TheMatrix),
  (JoelS)-[:PRODUCED]->(TheMatrix);

I get the error "setEscapeProcessing is not supported by Neo4jStatement." How to fix this?

I'm running my local Neo4j instance using Neo4j JDBC driver version 2.3.2.

These are my connection settings .

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Java 1.8.0_72-b15, SQL Workbench/J Build 119 (2016-01-31)

This question has already been answered in the SQL Workbench/J forum

Yes, you can set the property workbench.db.[dbid].ddl.disable.escapeprocessing to false, eg by using the following SQL statement

WbSetConfig workbench.db.[dbid].ddl.disable.escapeprocessing=false;

you need to replace [dbid] with the DBID that is generated for Hive. For details on the DBID please see here:

http://www.sql-workbench.net/manual/settings.html#dbid

Obviously in this case the DBID for Neo4J must be used, not for Hive (as stated in the forum answer because that question was initially for Hive)
