Graph Databases: Revolutionizing Database Design and Data Analysis

Traditional Relational databases have been in use for a while over the structured data and popular for a wide range of database management. However, with the increase in size and interconnection of data graph databases became more appealing due to its robustness and flexibility. Mathematical graph structures are used to represent, store and retrieve data in graph databases, which can be a paradigm shift for database design with powerful data capabilities. This article provides a basic overview of the state-of-the art graph databases, their use cases as well as some of the key advantages they can provide when compared to others traditional ways of storing data. Moreover, it consists of what is a graph database to its advantages and limitations and stating so why they are comparatively getting important to the world of data management.
