How to enable Apoc trigger add on Aura?
Mohamed Ghaiti
Hi,
According to https://neo4j-aura.canny.io/feature-requests/p/enable-triggers, we have now the possibility to use call apoc trigger add in Aura, however I get a message asking to enable it in apoc.conf. How can I do it?
Thanks

apoc.trigger
Aberham, Josef (IT DA PL DAS D)
We would like to use apoc triggers on neo4j Aura. Could you help us to enable it? According to the documentation, these 2 lines should be added neo4j.conf
apoc.trigger.enabled=true
apoc.trigger.refresh=60000
After making these changes, the database server should be restarted to ensure the changes take effect.
Kind Regards,
Josef Aberham & Mehmet Berk Gürçay

Support Triggers in APOC (base)

I see that triggers are not supported in Aura, probably because they were considered a part of APOC Extended. Which is not officially supported any more... Is there a chance to reconsider this? We really miss this functionality. There's no other tool that could calculate, for example, a number of relations and store them in a Node property – for faster and easier access. Implementing such things on the client side is clunky and error-prone.

I could really use apoc's nlp libraries in my apoc instance. Would unlock some really fantastic things for me.

enable apoc.custom on Aura

I am using the apoc.custom library on my current own managed Neo4j instances. Would love to transition to fully managed Aura, unfortunately apoc.custom library is not supported.

Markus Wissing hello there,
We have no plans in 2022 to enable apoc.custom in AuraDB Free or Professional.
The apoc.custom procedure is very useful and powerful, and in a self hosted and self controlled environment, you and others may want to carry out actions acceptable to your risk position, that aren't appropriate to take at scale in a publicly accessible platform.
We will continue to review the inclusion of such functionality in a way that does match our risk and security position as a publically accessible platform and will keep you updated.

John Kennedy: Hi John, thanks for the explanation. I see, it is about risk management. On the other hand, I am using just cypher and some basic apoc functions in my procedures, nothing else. I had the assumption, that for the same query the "place of deployment" makes no difference for the Neo4j DB engine from a performance perspective. I can deploy the exact same query in a lambda function and run it against the same Aura DB. As we have many different clients connecting to the DB, a central deployment via apoc.custom.asProcedure is much more elegant. Seems that my assumption was wrong, because for your operations teams it makes a difference. Best Markus

These Triggers are not currently enabled, and we are looking to correct the listing of them being available in Aura in short order.

Thanks Mohamed Ghaiti I'll take a look into this and update/correct my understanding and get back to you.

John Kennedy: It would greatly simplify our life if apoc.trigger and apoc.custom are enabled on the Aura DB. It's harder for us to use Neo4j effectively if these 2 procedures are not enabled.
