          Solution



          MATCH ()-[relationship]-() 
          RETURN TYPE(relationship) AS type, COUNT(relationship) AS amount;


          The first line specifies the pattern to define the relationship variable, which is used to determine type and amount in line two.



          Example result



          ╒══════════════╤════════╕
          │"type" │"amount"│
          ╞══════════════╪════════╡

          • You should add ORDER BY xyz DESC

          • Thank you for the answer! It is fine unless you have duplicated relationship names between different nodes and you'd like to catch that. In such a case the following expression might be helpful: match (a)-[r]-(b) return distinct labels(a), labels(b), type(r) as type, count(r) as amount
