== Pipelined runtime

The pipelined runtime is the default runtime for Neo4j Enterprise Edition.
This means that unless users of Neo4j Enterprise Edition specify a different runtime, queries will be run using the pipelined runtime.

To specify that a query should use the pipelined runtime, prepend the query with `CYPHER runtime = pipelined`.
For example:
The pipelined runtime is the default runtime for Neo4j Enterprise Edition and all tiers of link:{neo4j-docs-base-uri}/aura/[Aura].
This means that unless users of Neo4j Aura or Enterprise Edition specify a different runtime, queries will be run using the pipelined runtime.
