Property graphs map to relational databases pretty well. Using Neo4j's terminology
table name -> node label
table row -> node
table column -> node property
The result of a query is a sub-graph and is very composable.
- AtlasBarfed 2y agoI think it maps much better to document databases. Nodes are just documents. You just need to slap on a relations document type for the graph edges, and to store edge properties I was close to finishing at least version 1.0 of a document/graph database on top of Cassandra and dynamodb.
- UltraSane 2y agoWith Neo4j properties and list members cannot be complex objects just like DB table rows. I was thinking that my dream DB would be a hybrid of MongoDB documents with Neo4j type relationships between them.
