Introduction

Since Neo4j is a graph database, let us briefly know about the Graph database. The "node-relationship" structure is the foundation of graph databases. When dealing with densely interrelated data, this structure comes in handy. When dealing with densely interrelated data, this structure comes in handy. Various Properties are supported by nodes and relationships like a key-value pair for data storage.

What is Neo4j Graph Database

Neo4J is one of the most extensively used graph databases (www.neo4j.org). It's an open-source project under the GNU public licence version 3.0. Neo Technology is licenced under the GNU AGPL v3.0 

Neo4J is an ACID transaction Database with clustering for high availability. Because of the underlying structure of the node-relationship characteristics and how readily it transfers to our actual human interactions, it is a reliable and scalable database that is simple to describe. It is highly versatile since it does not require a schema or data type.

Features of Neo4J Database

  • Neo4J is one of the most extensively used graph databases (www.neo4j.org). 
  • It's an open-source project under the GNU public licensed version 3.0. 
  • Neo Technology offers a commercial version that is supported and licensed under the GNU AGPL v3.0 and commercial licensing.

Characteristics of Neo4J Database

  • Integration with other databases: To provide smooth integration with non-graphing data systems, Neo4J supports transaction management with rollback.
     
  • Synchronization services: Neo4J provides an event bus, periodic synchronization utilizing itself or an RDBMS as the master, and batch synchronization.
     
  • Resiliency: Neo4J offers cold and hot backups and a high-availability clustering option. For interaction with current operations management systems, standard warnings are shown.
     
  • Query language: Neo4J supports a declarative language called Cypher, explicitly designed to query graphs and their components. Cipher commands are loosely based on SQL syntax and are targeted at ad hoc queries of the graph data.

Limitation Of Neo4J Database

There might be some times when self-reference is essential in the actual world. If that's the case, a graph database isn't the greatest option because self-reference restrictions are severely enforced.

Implementation Of Neo4J Database

Neo4J Database is used for various practical applications:

  • Classification of Medical Domain
  • Classification of Biological Domain
  • Creating dynamic communities
  • Social Networking

FAQs

What is the ACID property in a database?

The abbreviation ACID refers to the four important aspects of a transaction in transaction processing: Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability.]

What are some of the most popular graph databases?

Neo4J is one of the most extensively used graph databases. Oracle NoSQL Database, OrientDB, HypherGraphDB, GraphBase, InfiniteGraph, AllegroGraph, and others are examples of graph databases.
