Wouldn't a graph database be a more suitable tool for that kind of task?

• CydeWeys 10y ago
  Why would it be a more suitable tool? What can a graph database tool do that BigQuery lacks? If you've already got the data conveniently preloaded into a SQL database for you, and all you need is a very simple SELECT statement with two WHERE clauses ... why would you use anything else? Spinning up an entire graph database unnecessarily seems like over-engineering.

    Author here. There's some truth to what he's saying. One thing I've been meaning to do is get my hands on all the Maven pom.xml files that exist, so I can load them into a Guava Multimap (my graph database of choice) and figure out every single artifact that will transitively inherit vulnerable collections on the class path.

      Try Neo4j?

        Why use Neo4j for a program you're going to run once and not store the data? Multimap<T, T> works great.
