AUGMENTING RELATIONAL DATABASE ENGINES WITH GRAPH QUERY CAPABILITY

摘要

Techniques for augmenting relational databases with graph database capabilities are described. A graph database query requesting data from a graph database is received. The graph database includes a plurality of vertices and a plurality of edges. The graph database query is translated into a relational database query using one or more computer processors. The relational database query references a vertex table and an edge table in a relational database. Result data corresponding with the graph database query is retrieved from the relational database by executing the relational database query against the relational database.
