Graph Databases

1. What is a graph?
   Graphs can be used to model data that contains objects and the relationships between them in the form of an abstract data type.

2. What is an edge?
   Edges describe the relationships between the nodes of a graph. They link them together like a foreign key column would do in a relational database but more directly so.

3. What is a vertex?
   Vertex is another name for a node. These entities/entries are the objects that can have properties associated with them. They are also the start and end points for edges within the graph structure.

4. When to use a graph database instead of a normal SQL database?
   If your data has many and/or complex relationships between its stored objects you’ll get better performance out of it when your searches go more than one level deep.

1. A data type
2. It’s the relationship
3. It’s a representation of a data object or node
4. To increase efficiency and simplify queries when dealing with a heavy data set full of relationships between them

[Dodi]

1. a graph is an abstract data type typically used to model data that contains objects
2. Edges are used to describe the relationships between the objects contained in the database
3. Vertex is a data object including information
   4.If you need to query very complex relationships (more than 1 level deep) it is faster

[Ag9]

1. What is a graph?
   a graph 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).
2. What is an edge?
   Graph databases also contain edges between each node. These are use to describe the relationships between the objects contained in the database, and in most they can be compared to the foreign key column of a row in a RDBMS.
3. What is a vertex?
   it is single object that is part of Graph.
4. Why would we want to use a graph database instead of a normal SQL database?
   When we need make complex relationships, a graph database is best solution

[spongetti]

1. What is a graph?
   a graph is an abstract data type typically used to model data that contains objects

2. What is an edge?
   An edge describes the relationship between objects.

3. What is a vertex?
   A vertex is an object that has certain properties like things or people.

4. Why would we want to use a graph database instead of a normal SQL database?
   Whenever there is a large number of relations in between the objects of a database

[wagr]

1. What is a graph?
   An abstract data type used to model data that contains objects/nodes and some sort of relationship between objects/nodes.

2. What is an edge?
   Describes the relationship between objects/nodes

3. What is a vertex?
   The data object/node.

4. Why would we want to use a graph database instead of a normal SQL database?
   Good for complex relationships on large amounts of data.

1. A graph is an abstract data type typically used to model data that contains objects also called nodes or vertices.
2. An edge is the relationship between vertices in a graph database
3. A vertex is the actual data points in a graph database
4. When data becomes more complex and the use case allows the data to be graphed, otherwise or when in doubt choose SQL.

[waka]

1. A graph is a data type used to model objects and relations.
2. An edge is a relation between two objects.
3. A vertex represent an object in the datatype.
4. When you have large and complex relationships in your data.

[Santanet]

1. What is a graph?

It’s an abstract data type in the form of nodes (containing data) and relationships between them.

2. What is an edge?

These are relationships between nodes.

3. What is a vertex?

These are nodes

4. Why would we want to use a graph database instead of a normal SQL database?

For complex relationships

[CC123]

1. 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).
2. It is something that describe the relationships between the objects contained in the database, and in most they can be compared to the foreign key column of a row in a RDBMS.
3. Objects or nodes in the graph
4. For situations where multiple queries are required, this database type is more efficient

[Blacswordsman]

1.) A Graph is a type of database which uses nodes or vertices to function as records in a relational manner. The nodes are connected by lines or edges which record the relationships between nodes.

2.) There are used to describe the relationship between the objects contained in the database. Comparable to a foreign key in a relational database.

3.) Vertices also known as nodes are connected to each other through “lines or edges”

4.) Directly stating relationships between two objects within a graph database provides a strong advantage over relational database systems for certain datasets. A Graph Database may also increase efficiency for searches like who performing a search that is more then one level deep.

[Eskimo_Joe]

1. An abstract data type used to model data that contains objects and some sort of relationship between those objects.
2. Edges are used to describe relationships between objects in the database. Similar to a foreign key.
3. Objects in the database.
4. It gives the ability to directly state the relationships between objects. Mainly those that contain a large number of relationships on data. It also can be for efficiency in some cases.

These are the foreign key’s for Graph databases

Vertex? or is it vertices? These are objects in the graph database.

With the more complicated relationships in a database it is better and faster to use a graph database

[CryptoMel]

1. What is a graph?
   A graph is a data type that is used to model data which contains objects and relationships of those objects

2. What is an edge?
   Are like foreign keys which describe the relationship between objects

3. What is a vertex?
   Objects or nodes in the graph

4. Why would we want to use a graph database instead of a normal SQL database?
   When there are multiple queries required, Graph Database is more efficient

1. A abstract data type used to model data that contains objects and the relationships between them

2. the relationship between objects

3. Data that contains objects

4. A far greater ability to directly state the relationship(s) between two objects, namely when large amounts of data are concerned

[Itzamna]

1. A graph 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).
   2.Describes the relationship between two vertex(s) or nodes contained in the DB. Comparable to a foreign key column of a row in RDBMS. 3. Anything like ID numbers, locations, etc.Corresponds to a column in RDB. 4. If you wanted to do queries more than one level deep.

[Leighton]

1. A graph is an abstract data type which uses a model that contains nodes & verticals that shows a better relationship between each object.

2. A edge describes the relationship between each object in the database.

3. A vertex is another name for a node which represents the object filled with information.

4. Graph database would be better used when deeper relationships in the data need to be connected.

[PapatoniC]

1. What is a graph?
   A type of database that is based on nodes , (objects which are similar to rows in SQL) , properties (would be like columns in SQL) and edges (would be like foreign key in SQL) used for the relationship between different nodes.

2. What is an edge?
   It is similar to a foreign key in SQL and its used to identify thatcher node and used for the relationship between different nodes.

3. What is a vertex?
   an object or node that contains a unique item , similar to rows in SQL

4. Why would we want to use a graph database instead of a normal SQL database?
   In complex scenarios where multiple searches should be performed on SQL , they are simpler on Graph since the he relations are directly between the objects or items , not between tables.
