Represent every entity (like “person” or “post”) in a large graph using a relational database. You can get to 40k rather quickly

  Is this valid reason to use RDBM like this?
  • phyrex 3y ago
    Why not? I don't think there are many graph databases that are set up to handle multiple petabytes of data, so RDBMs make a good storage layer at that scale

      Why would you need a table for each person or post? Those are rows.
      • phyrex 3y ago
        Each entity. Person would be a table, you and I would be rows, correct.

  Do you have any example for a project with 40k entities? I'd love to see how they handle the complexity.
