A GraphDB is a database that use the
graph as its primary data structure

16. Your data is a graph
23

17. a tree is a graph
24

18. parent_id is a graph
25

19. Solve decision problems

20. Maximum flow

21. Given a dataset, calculate how to best organize it
maximum flow

22. travelling salesman problem

23. The pizza guy needs to deliver on A, B,C.

24. Decision base on distance, traffic, time and so on.

25. Shortest path

26. Identify "special" nodes of the graph

27. Given your dataset, organize some clusters
Are there some nodes which cannot belong to a cluster?
They probably have some properties different from the average

28. Given your dataset, organize some clusters
Are there some nodes which cannot belong to a cluster?
They probably have some properties different from the average
ACHTUNG!
TERRORISTEN!

29. but ... why graphDB?
36

30. Representing a Graph in:
http://www.slideshare.net/slidarko/problemsolving-using-graph-traversals-searching-
scoring-ranking-and-recommendation#
✓ Relational Database
(mysql, oracle)
✓ Document Oriented DB
(mongodb, couchdb)
✓ XML Database
(MarkLogic, eXist-db)
37

31. where is the difference ?
38

32. GraphDB
A graph database is any storage
system that provides index-free
adjacency.
http://www.slideshare.net/slidarko/problemsolving-using-graph-traversals-searching-scoring-ranking-and-recommendation

33. Step by step example
Given a list of people, find their homepages

34. Tree-based DB WAY
David Funaro
put in the Search Engine

find 3

35. Tree-based DB WAY
David Funaro
The cost to find Search Engine friend HP
put in the a single
2
grows as the friends HP tables grows
find 3
1
http://davidfunaro.com
41

36. GraphDB WAY
1 get the embedded
information(index)
www.odino.org
it’s like that the GraphDB has an additional information
(the ancor <a>)
42

37. GraphDB WAY
The Anchor work as a local index to
reach the document = index-free
adjacency
<a href=”http://odino.org”>
Alessandro Nadalin
</a>
43

38. Local cost
The local cost is O(k) = Constant
44

39. Local cost
The local cost is O(k) = Constant
45

40. Local cost
Thus, as the graph grows in size,
the cost of a local step remain the same
46

41. any database can implicity represent a
graph
BUT
only a graph database make the graph
structure explicit

Databases

47. data model and their
implementation
Blueprints is a collection of interfaces, implementations,
ouplementations, and test suites for the property graph data
model. Blueprints is analogous to the JDBC, but for graph
databases.
https://github.com/tinkerpop/blueprints/wiki/

48. a data flow Framework using Process Graph
provide a collection of "pipes" that are
connected togheter to from processing
pipelines

49. a graph-based programming language.
a Turing-Complete graph-base programming language
that compiles Gremlin syntax down to Pipes

50. a REST-full graph shell.
Allow blueprints graph to be exposed
through a RESTful API (HTTP)

51. What's hot

52. OrientDB

53. Glossary
RID
<10:05>
Cluster Position
CLASS
59

54. Main features

55. Inheritance

56. class Vehicle
class Car
class Bike

57. class Vehicle
class Car
class Bike
SELECT FROM Vehicle WHERE owner = 1:1

58. class Vehicle
class Car
class Bike
can return records of class Bike or Car

59. Traversal

60. SELECT FROM fellas WHERE any() traverse(0,-1) ( @rid = [Michelle @rid] )
68

61. SELECT FROM fellas WHERE any() traverse(0,2) ( @rid = [Michelle @rid] )

62. SQL synthax

63. beyond SQL

64. SELECT FROM authors WHERE book.title = ...

65. ACID

66. speaks JSON

67. { "schema": {
"name": "Address"
},
"result": [{
"@type": "d", "@rid": "#13:0", "@version": 6, "@class": "Address",
"type": "Residence",
"street": "Piazza Navona, 1",
"city": "#14:0",
"nick": "Luca2"
}, {
...
...

68. Double Protocol

69. HTTP
Universal

70. HTTP
Easy to interact with

71. binary
Blazing fast

72. on-record SELECTs

73. SELECT FROM cats

74. SELECT FROM 11:0

75. SELECT FROM [11:0,11:1]

76. SELECT FROM [11:0,12:0]

77. stress-free setup

78. 2 Mb

79. ./orient/bin/server.sh
94

80. in-memory DB

81. or disk-persisted

82. Supports standards Supports standards
97

83. •Inheritance
•Traversal
•SQL-like syntax
•ACID
OrientDB •Speak JSON
•Double protocol
•on-record Select
•ThinkerPop Compliant

84. Language Bindings
http://code.google.com/p/orient/wiki/ProgrammingLanguageBindings 99

86. Orient = PHP Library to work with OrientDB
https://github.com/congow/Orient
101

87. Data Mapper
Query Builder
HTTP Binding

88. HTTP Binding

89. use CongowOrient;
use CongowOrientFoundationBinding;
$driver = new OrientHttpClientCurl();
$orient = new Binding($driver, '127.0.0.1', '2480', 'admin', 'admin', 'demo');
$response = $orient->query("SELECT FROM Address");
$output = json_decode($response->getBody());
foreach ($output->result as $address)
{
var_dump($address->street);
}

90. apart from ->query($SQL)

91. ->get|delete|postClass($class)

92. ->post|delete|put|getDocument($rid)

93. ...and much more!
(connect, disconnect, ...)

94. Query Builder

95. use CongowOrientQuery;
$query = new Query();
$query->from(array('users'))->where('username = ?', "admin");
echo $query->getRaw();
// SELECT FROM users WHERE username = "admin"

96. $query->select(array('name', 'username', 'email'), false)
->from(array('12:0', '12:1'), false)
->where('any() traverse ( any() like "%danger%" )')
->orWhere("1 = ?", 1)
->andWhere("links = ?", 1)
->limit(20)
->orderBy('username')
->orderBy('name', true, true)
->range("12:0", "12:1");
SELECT name, username, email
FROM [12:0, 12:1]
WHERE any() traverse ( any() like "%danger%" )
OR 1 = "1" AND links = "1"
ORDER BY name, username
LIMIT 20
RANGE 12:0 12:1

97. Data Mapper

98. namespace PolandPHPConEntity;
use CongowOrientODMMapperAnnotations as ODM;
/**
* @ODMDocument(class="Person")
*/
class Speaker
{
/**
* @ODMProperty( type="string")
*/
protected $name;
public function setName($name)
{
$this->name = $name;
}

99. Domain Driven Design

100. { "schema": {
"name": "Speaker"
},
"result": [{
"@type": "d", "@rid": "#1:0", "@version": 6, "@class": "Speaker",
"name": "David Coallier"
}, {
...
...

101. { "schema": {
"name": "Speaker"
},
"result": [{
"@type": "d", "@rid": "#1:0", "@version": 6, "@class": "Speaker",
"name": "David Coallier"
}, {
...
...
$david = $mapper->hydrate(json_decode($speaker));

102. { "schema": {
"name": "Speaker"
},
"result": [{
"@type": "d", "@rid": "#1:0", "@version": 6, "@class": "Speaker",
"name": "Martin Fowler"
}, {
...
...
$david instanceOf PolandPHPConEntitySpeaker

103. Repository Pattern
$repo = $manager->getRepository('Speaker')

104. $speakers = $repo->findAll();

105. $speaker = $repo->find($rid);

106. $criteria = array('Name' => 'Martin');
$lornas = $repo->findBy($criteria);

107. $criteria = array(
'Name' => 'Martin',
'last_name' => 'Fowler'
);
$lornaJ = $repo->findOneBy($criteria);
