Database Technology

graph-database

A database specifically designed to store and navigate relationships between data points using graph structures.

Expanded definition

Graph databases utilize graph structures to represent and store data, enabling efficient querying of complex relationships using graph theory principles. Unlike traditional relational databases, which use tables, graph databases excel in scenarios where the relationships between data points are as important as the data itself. A misconception is that graph databases are only suitable for social networks; in reality, they can be used in various domains such as logistics, fraud detection, and recommendation systems.
