Examples

CREATE person:tobie SET
	name = 'Tobie',
	password = '123456',
	opts.security = 'secure',
	opts.enabled = true;
CREATE person:jaime SET
	name = 'Jaime',
	password = 'asdfgh',
	opts.security = 'secure',
	opts.enabled = false;

SELECT * FROM person;
-- Omit the password field and security field in the options object
SELECT * OMIT password, opts.security FROM person;

-- Using destructuring syntax (since 2.0.0)
SELECT * OMIT password, opts.{ security, enabled } FROM person;
