Welcome to part twenty of the plansplaining series. It has been a long time since I last wrote a plansplaining post, partly because of my health, but also for a large part because I was out of ideas. But recently I decided to dig a bit deeper into a feature that was released in SQL Server 2017 and that I had so far not played with: SQL Graph.

Apache TinkerPop is an open source graph computing framework. A graph computing network is a set of vertices and edges in the network. If we compare a graph database to traditional relational databases, we can assume that every row in a table of a relational database is equivalent to a vertex in graph network. Similarly, […]

SQL Server 2017 introduced the concept of graph data tables as part of the SQL Server database engine. With SQL Server 2019, there were some enhancements like ‘shortest path’ function and constraints on edge tables that make this feature more usable – although it is far from a full-fledged graph database. Graph tables are essentially […]

It is awkward to do 'Graph databases' in SQL to explore the sort of relationships and memberships in social networks because equivalence relations are classes (a set of sets) rather than sets. However one can explore graphs in SQL if the relationship has all three of the mathematical properties needed for an equivalence relationship.

NEO4J, the graph database, can be used to provide answers that are very tricky for relational databases, including providing diagrams to show how SQL tables relate to each other, and the shortest chain of relationships between two tables, as David Poole demonstrates
