CAST

Syntax only

The GQL parser accepts this form. The database does not currently execute it. The example below demonstrates grammar, not a runnable query feature.

RETURN CAST('42' AS INTEGER) AS answer;

The target uses the value-type grammar, including NOT NULL and compound types. Parsing a target type does not provide a runtime conversion implementation. Declared session parameters perform supported validation; they do not implicitly cast arbitrary strings to numbers.

See supported features for executable alternatives.
