Introducing Native Vector Type in Neo4j Aura

We’ve added a first-class Vector data type to Neo4j for storing embedding vectors directly as typed, fixed-length vectors instead of generic lists.
What it is
A new VECTOR<dtype>(length) property type that’s fully supported across drivers v6+, Cypher 25, storage, constraints, and Aura/Neo4j 2025.10.
It gives you a clean, explicit way to work with embeddings in application code and Cypher.

Benefits of Native Vector Type in Aura
  • Simpler code 
    — First‑class vectors in the drivers mean fewer helpers and fewer mistakes.
  • Integrity by default 
    — Property‑type constraints enforce shape and dtype and protect your indexes.
  • Future‑ready
     — Unlocks vector‑specific functions, indexes, and storage optimizations over time.
Native types are supported end to end: Neo4j drivers → Bolt protocol → Cypher → Storage engine → Constraints.
