Hybrid graph and relational database architecture

Abstract:

Aspects of the disclosure relate to searching a dual database graph. The dual database graph is resident on a dual database graph platform. The platform includes two or more nodes interconnected by one or more edges. The graph database stores graph data corresponding to the graph(s) and a relational database for storing metadata corresponding to the graph(s). The method includes receiving as input a search criterion. The search criterion may include a plurality of data points corresponding to a relational database node profile or a relational database subgraph profile. The platform may search the relational database for a subset of graphs that each includes a relational database node or a relational database subgraph that matches the node profile or subgraph profile of the search criterion. The platform may then retrieve a relational database node or a relational database subgraph that matches the node profile or subgraph profile.
