Concurrent automatic adaptive storage of datasets in graph databases

Abstract:

Techniques for improving database searches are described herein. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented data processing method comprises receiving a request to store a digital data object in a non-graph data repository, the data object comprising one or more first properties, the data object conforming to a first schema of the non-graph data repository; in response to the initiating, concurrently: digitally storing the data object in the non-graph data repository; transforming the data object into one or more nodes and edges of a graph; storing the one or more nodes and edges of the graph in a graph data repository that is separate from the non-graph data repository; electronically receiving a search query that specifies a path-based search; in response to receiving the search query: transforming the search query into a graph search query; submitting the graph search query to the graph data repository; receiving a result set of nodes from the graph data repository; transforming the result set of nodes into a set of corresponding data objects in the non-graph data repository; providing the set of corresponding data objects as output in a computer display.
