Abstract

This project will review the new technology of graph databases. Graph databases, which model data using nodes and relationships, utilize a different paradigm than the rows and columns of relational databases.

The main goals of this project are to provide the basic background information on graph database technology and then use this knowledge to convert an RDBMS into a GDBMS. The RDBMS used will be the sample Accounts Payable (AP) relational database used in the Murach SQL 2012 book. The following will be accomplished:

  • Explore graph database versus relational for querying and updating the Accounts Payable database. Review Cypher (Neo4j graph query language) and run CRUD queries against the AP graph database.
  • Show step by step instructions to convert the Murach SQL 2012 Accounts Payable database into the graph database.
