Using the same logic, a key/value database is also a graph database? Isn’t the biggest benefit of graph databases the indexing and additional query constructs

Using the same logic, a key/value database is also a graph database?
Isn’t the biggest benefit of graph databases the indexing and additional query constructs they support, like shortest path finding and whatnot?
- sorokod 7mo agoYes, the author is likely unaware of this. They see markdown files with links, so a graph and the set of those files, so a "database". https://neo4j.com/docs/graph-data-science/current/algorithms/ https://neo4j.com/docs/graph-data-science/current/algorithms...

- lamasery 7mo agoNeo4j looooooves the "if you think about it, everything is graphs!" marketing maneuver. They (their marketing department) were the very first thing I thought of when I read this headline.
- volemo 7mo agoI think the confusion stems from the fact that we call a database what is really a database management system.

- rzzzt 7mo agoI'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as a database, is in fact a database management system, or as I've recently taken to calling it, database plus management system.
