- What is a graph? A graph is a set of points, called nodes or vertices , which are interconnected by a set of lines called edges . It is an abstract data type typically used to model data that contains objects (referred to as nodes or vertices), and some sort of relationship between those objects (lines or edges).
- What is an edge? Edges link two vertices in the database. An edge is used to describe the relationships between the objects contained in the database, and in most it can be compared to the foreign key column of a row in a RDBMS.
- What is a vertex? Vertex is a node. It is used to represent an entity object.
- Why would we want to use a graph database instead of a normal SQL database? The ability to directly state the relationship between two objects within a graph database especially in data sets that contain a large amount of relationships within the data. Graph databases may also offer increased efficiency for searches in some cases.

- a graph shows the relationship of data between the different nodes and edges
- it is the connection or relationship in a graph database
- vertex is the dataset or the point (node) in a graph database
- a graph database makes queries about relationships fast and it is schema-less, you can store a different kind of objects and relationships.

Graph databases may also offer increased efficiency for searches in some cases. The best example of this is when a business needs to perform a search that is more than one level deep. As an example, let’s consider a database storing corporate structure information.

The edge describes the relations between objects in a database. They also compared to foreign key in RDBMS

Vertex represents the entity object (person, place, etc), and also represent the relation between to nodes. We can compare to a row in relational database.

Why would we want to use a graph database instead of a normal SQL database?
In a graph data base, there is a distinct advantage in illustrating the relationships between two, or more, objects, especially those with multiple relationships between them. Another reason why you would want to utilize a graph data base is in the efficiency in searching for these relationships, some of which are complex.
In a SQL database, a complex search may involve utilizing various id_tables to come to achieve results which when compared to a graph database, would involve an initial search and then following the connections to the various other entities as needed.

What is a graph?
It’s an abstract data type.
Mathmatical concept, data that contains objects
with some sort of relationship between the objects (nodes)
Graph uses it’s nodes to contain data which is comparable to a rows
such as in a relational database.
And they can be compared to the foreign key column.
What is an edge?
Let’s say that the graph is figured as a circle
then the EDGE is the “line” that connect the “circles”
The relations between the objects (nodes) in the DB.
What is a vertex?
As I described above about circle - that is the vertex.
It could represent a person for example.
Why would we want to use a graph database
instead of a normal SQL database?
It’s good to use when we want to make a more complex structure
But still strict. Graph will respond to more complex queries,
which is hard to do in SQL (even though SQL also is relational)
It also has more efficiancy for searches in some cases.

The line between objects and thus the relationship
This has a label and for instance a date. And therefore more information than just the relationship -
