Graph Databases

Graph databases use graph structures to store and query data, representing entities as nodes and relationships between entities as edges. They allow for CRUD operations on a graph data model. Nodes represent entities, edges represent connections between nodes or nodes to properties. Graph databases are often faster than relational databases for associative data and directly map to object-oriented applications. Examples of graph databases include Neo4j, ArangoDB, OrientDB, and Titan. Graph databases are well-suited for applications involving networks, social networks, and transaction-based systems.

Graph Databases
What is a Graph Database?

Database that uses graph structures for semantic queries with


nodes, edges and properties to store data

Can perform CRUD operations on a


graph data model
Data Structure

Nodes – Represent entities or items (Users, Accounts, etc)

Edges – Lines that connect nodes to other nodes or nodes to


properties (Aka . “Graphs” or “Relationships”)

Properties – Pertinent information that relates to nodes


Simple Example
Some Advantages

• Graph databases are often faster than relational databases for


associative data sets

• Map directly to the structure of object oriented applications

• Handles big data much more efficiently than relational databases

• Easy to scale

• Performance, Flexibility, Agility


Storage Mechanisms

• Vary between products

• Some use native graph storage that is specifically designed to store


graphs

• Some are based on a relational engine and store graphs in tables

• Graph storage offers better performance advantages because the


graph is stored in a format similar to a “database index”
Some Examples Of Graph Databases

• Neo4j Cayley

• ArangoDB InfoGrid
MarkLogic
• Bitsy
OrientDB
• Filament
Titan
• GraphBase
Good Uses For Graphs

• Network & IT Operations

• Transaction-based Applications – eg.Banking

• Fraud Detection

• Social Networks

• Graph Based Search
