Graph Databases • What is a graph database? • Based on graph theory • Data is stored as “nodes”, and relationships as “edges” • Nodes have attributes. • Relationships have attributes
Relational vs Graph • Relational • Relationships are used to join entities together to get results • Data integrity is enforced through constraints • Graph • Relationships are considered data • Can easily “walk” from node to node using relationships • Can “walk” the graph in multiple directions in parallel
Relational Model actor movie actor_movie actor_id movie_id role actor_id name movie_id title release_date 1, Keanu Reeves 2, Carrie-Ann Moss 3, Lawrence Fishburne 1, 1, Neo 1, 2, Neo 1, 3, Neo 2, 1, Trinity 2, 2, Trinity 2, 3, Trinity 3, 1, Morpheus 3, 2, Morpheus 3, 3, Morpheus 1, The Matrix 2, The Matrix Reloaded 3, The Matrix Revolutions
Graph Model The Matrix The Matrix 2 The Matrix 3 Keanu Reeves Carrie-Ann Moss Lawrence Fishburne
Graph Model - Detailed Node Relationship type: Movie title: “Matrix” type: Actor name: “Keanu Reeves” :ACTS_IN type: Role, role: “Neo” Property Value Property Path
Graph Databases – Examples Uses • Social relationships • Actor / movie relationships • Medicine interactions Just some of the many possibilities!
Queries START [MATCH] [WITH] [WHERE] RETURN [ORDERBY] [SKIP] [LIMIT] Starting node(s) Matching pattern (except properties) Further conditions / calculations Filter on properties Properties to return
Query Example START user=node:nodeIndexName(name={“Bob”}) MATCH (user)-[:FRIEND]->(friend) WITH user, count(friend) as friends WHERE friends > 10 RETURN friend.name ORDER BY friend.name LIMIT 100
Query Parts object type index name property value START user=node:nodeIndexName(name={“Bob”}) made-up identifier node property identifier
Query Parts node node MATCH (user)-[:FRIEND]->(friend) relationship definition (including direction) Another made-up identifier
Query Parts WITH user, count(friend) as friends grouping node alias calculation
Query Parts WHERE friends > 10 property filter
Query Parts RETURN friend.name ORDER BY friend.name LIMIT 100
Query Example – All Together START user=node:nodeIndexName(name={“Bob”}) MATCH (user)-[:FRIEND]->(friend) WITH user, count(friend) as friends WHERE friends > 10 RETURN friend.name ORDER BY friend.name LIMIT 100 This will return all nodes where they are friends with Bob, and that Bob has more than 10 friends, but limit to the first 100 found.
Query Example – Matching START user=node:nodeIndexName(name={“Bob”}) MATCH (user)-[:FRIEND {since: “2001-01-01”} ]->(friend) RETURN friend.name Since relationships have properties, we can search on them too!!
Creating Data CREATE [UNIQUE]* [SET | DELETE | FOREACH]* [RETURN [ORDERBY][SKIP][LIMIT]]
Creating Data - Examples CREATE (n {name: “Bob”}) made-up identifier again property value
Creating Data - Examples CREATE (b {name: “Bob”}), (m {name: “Mary”}), (b)-[:KNOWS]->(m) Creates two nodes with a relationship between them. This is called creating a path.
Creating Data - Examples You can combine queries with create options! This allows you to create parts of the graph starting from a particular node (or nodes)! START b=node:nodeIndexName(name={“Bob”}), m=node:nodeIndexName(name={“Mary”}) MATCH (b)-[:KNOWS]->(m) CREATE (b)-[:LOVES]->(m)
