mhm ... sounds like you don't know what you are talking about if you conflate Neo4j/Cypher with Datalog ... because "in IT".

- UltraSane 2y agoI'm fully aware they are very different things. I'm just saying I have tried using datomic and I really like it's query language but it cannot find a path between two objects like Neo4j which is a killer feature in a CMDB. My dream DB would be a hybrid of Neo4j and Datomic. An example of where Neo4j really shines is I found a site with BGP route dumps. The file contains over 57 million very redundant Autonomous System paths that are just sequences of a IP prefix and the AS path it is reachable by. By loading each IP prefix and AS hop as (Prefix)-[:ANNOUNCED_BY]->[:AS]-[:BGP_NEXT_HOP]->[:AS] I can easily trace paths from one prefix to another by going MATCH path = (p1:Prefix)-[:*]->(p2:Prefix) return path which will return which AS announce the prefixes and all BGP paths between them. It really is very powerful.
