How To Model and Construct Graphs with Oracle Database
How To Model and Construct Graphs with Oracle Database

To use property graphs, first, you’ll need a graph model. For a new user, modeling and generating a suitable graph for an application domain can be a challenge. In April’s session, Albert described key steps required to model a graph, using an HR example. Then Zhe showed how to construct a meaningful graph using ODI, Java/SQL APIs, or various utilities supporting various data sources (Database or other file formats).
