#' Takes variable queries with table output ie. no nodes no rels (simpler version of DBquery gives a list)
#'
#' @param query cypher query
#' @param params string containing cypher query
#' @param cypherurl address of database, inclusive of ports
#' @param user database username
#' @param password database password
#' @param ... accepts additional parameters from external function calls
#' @export
