  • Patent number: 11681716
    Abstract: A method for performing a path finding operation in graph data stored in a database is provided. The method may include receiving, from a client, a request to perform a weighted path operation on at least portion of the graph data. The portion of the graph data may correspond to a graph. The request may specify attributes associated with vertices and/or edges included in the graph. In response to the request, the weighted path operation may be performed by at least identifying a shortest path between two endpoints in the graph. The shortest path may minimize the one or more attributes of vertices and/or edges included in the shortest path. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.

  • Patent number: 10839012
    Abstract: A method for executing a graph algorithm is provided. The method may include responding to a request from a client to execute a graph algorithm on graph data stored in a database by determining data required to execute the graph algorithm. In response to determining that a first portion of the data required to execute the graph algorithm is absent from an existing adjacency structure that includes a second portion of the data required to execute the graph algorithm, the existing adjacency structure may be modified to include the first portion of data. The graph algorithm may be executed based on the modified adjacency structure. The execution of the graph algorithm may include querying, based on the modified adjacency structure, the graph data stored in the database. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.

  • Patent number: 10831771
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for interactive exploration of graph data. An embodiment operates by compiling a data query in any database-readable language based upon an input parameter. A data query of a graph data set is then conducted but is halted when a breakpoint generated from the input parameter is reached. Halting the data query includes partitioning a data subset from the graph data set. The data subsets is then displayed.

  • Patent number: 10503781
    Abstract: Traversal hooks are based on an event-oriented programming model and provide an expressive mechanism to extend a graph traversal operator with domain-specific coding. A traversal operator can visit (i.e., traversal events) vertices and edges of a graph in an ordered manner. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 9934324
    Abstract: A system, computer-implemented method, and computer-readable storage medium for generating a block-based index, are provided. A block index is generated where the block index comprises a plurality of blocks and a block corresponds to a section of a graph column that stores a value. A block range vector is also generated for the index where the block range vector includes range information for the block that corresponds to the section of the graph and where the block-based index facilitates traversal of the graph column that searches for the value by constraining the traversal to the section of the graph.

  • Patent number: 9547728
    Abstract: A system, computer-implemented method, and a computer-readable storage medium for a traversal of a property graph, are provided. The edge table of the property graph is divided into a plurality of fragments. A first fragment is selected for traversal using a set of selected vertices, where the traversal identifies a set of edges. Based on the set of edges, a set of adjacent vertices is determined during the traversal. A set of discovered vertices in the property graph is determined based on the set of selected vertices and the set of adjacent vertices.
