I'm working on a project with old school RDF & semantic web, and I tend to concur with you. I often miss my usual RDBMS. Maybe it's the way my data is structured, but any complex display of data quickly becomes a weird maze of async calls.
I'd be happy to be proven wrong, I love graphs!
- gibsonf1 8y agoYou have to think completely differently from rdbms to use graph well. It's a hard cultural change to make.
- technige 8y agoTrue, but a very worthwhile one. Before getting into Neo4j (and later joining the company), I'd worked with SQL databases a lot and, at one point, as a DBA. I spent the first few months trying to draw direct analogies between graphs and tables but after a while realised that I needed to "unlearn" a load of what I thought I already knew. It's now pretty refreshing to be able to look from a higher vantage point at the different types of data store available, and work out which is the right one for each job. It turns out that the graph is actually the best solution more often than you'd think!
