System requirements

The sharded property database requires the same system requirements as Neo4j 2025.10 and later versions.

To enable the property sharding in your cluster, you must configure the following additional configuration settings on each server:

Configuration setting Description

Configuration setting	Description
`internal.dbms.sharded_property_database.enabled=true`	By default, the sharded property database is disabled.^[1]
`db.query.default_language=CYPHER_25`	Ensures that any database created will use Cypher 25 (unless users specifically override the default version in the `CREATE DATABASE` command). See Configure the Cypher default version and Cypher Manual → Select Cypher version.
