Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems and techniques relating to representation and retrieval of data structures in databases. In general, embodiments of the invention feature a computer program product and a method including storing a generalized directed acyclic graph (DAG) in a database, wherein the storing includes encoding path information of the generalized DAG in entries of a path table in the database, the encoding includes converting the path information into text strings, and the entries of the path table correspond to paths in the generalized DAG from nodes of the generalized DAG to a root node of the generalized DAG; triggering generation of a lexical index of the path table using the text strings, wherein the lexical index separately lists tokens included in the entries; and retrieving one or more portions of the generalized DAG from the database for in-memory operations.
