Graph -> GraphDB

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

... when to use a graph ?

Solve decision problems


Maximum flow


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

travelling salesman problem


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


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


Shortest path

Identify "special" nodes of the graph


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


Given your dataset, organize some clusters

ACHTUNG!
TERRORISTEN!


but ... why graphDB?

✓ Relational Database
(mysql, oracle)

✓ Document Oriented DB

✓ XML Database
(MarkLogic, eXist-db)

where is the difference ?

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


Step by step example

Given a list of people, find their homepages

GraphDB WAY

it’s like that the GraphDB has an additional information
(the ancor <a>)

GraphDB WAY

1 get the embedded
information(index)
www.odino.org

it’s like that the GraphDB has an additional information
(the ancor <a>)

GraphDB WAY

The Anchor work as a local index to
reach the document = index-free
adjacency

45


Local cost

The local cost is O(k) = Constant

46


Local cost

The local cost is O(k) = Constant

Local cost

48


Local cost

Thus, as the graph grows in size,
the cost of a local step remain the same

48


any database can implicity represent a
graph

BUT
only a graph database make the graph
structure explicit

Databases

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/


a data flow Framework using Process Graph

provide a collection of "pipes" that are
connected togheter to from processing
pipelines


a graph-based programming language.

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


a REST-full graph shell.

Allow blueprints graph to be exposed
through a RESTful API (HTTP)

Main features


Inheritance

class Vehicle

class Car
class Bike


class Vehicle

class Car
class Bike

SELECT FROM Vehicle WHERE owner = 1:1


class Vehicle

class Car
class Bike

can return records of class Bike or Car


Traversal


SELECT FROM fellas WHERE any() traverse(0,-1) ( @rid = [Michelle @rid] )
66


SELECT FROM fellas WHERE any() traverse(0,-1) ( @rid = [Michelle @rid] )
67


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


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


SQL synthax


beyond SQL


SELECT FROM authors WHERE book.title = ...


ACID

speaks JSON


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

Oh, it's Java.

PHP ?


somebody started writing the
binary-protocol binding
https://github.com/AntonTerekhov/OrientDB-PHP
( beta0.4.1, 28 April 2010 )


$db = new OrientDB($host, $port);

$record = $db->recordLoad('1:1', '*:-1');

// $record instance of OrientDBRecord


and others


Orient Library

... are writing a complete library
https://github.com/congow/Orient

104


Orient = PHP Library to work with OrientDB

105


Data Mapper

Query Builder
HTTP Binding


HTTP Binding


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);
}


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


apart from ->query($SQL)


->get|delete|postClass($class)


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


...and much more!

(connect, disconnect, ...)


Query Builder


use CongowOrientQuery;

$query = new Query();
$query->from(array('users'))->where('username = ?', "admin");

echo $query->getRaw();
// SELECT FROM users WHERE username = "admin"


$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


Data Mapper


A Doctrine2 strange ODM


namespace PolandPHPConEntity;

use CongowOrientODMMapperAnnotations as ODM;

/**
* @ODMDocument(class="Person")
*/
class Speaker
{
/**
* @ODMProperty( type="string")
*/
protected $name;

public function setName($name)
{
$this->name = $name;
}


namespace PolandPHPConEntity;

use CongowOrientODMMapperAnnotations as ODM;

/**
* @ODMDocument(class="Person")
*/
class Speaker
{
/**
* @ODMProperty(type="string")
*/
protected $name;

public function setName($name)
{
$this->name = $name;
}


Domain Driven Design


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


{ "schema": {
"name": "Speaker"
},
"result": [{
}, {
...
...

$david = $mapper->hydrate(json_decode($speaker));


{ "schema": {
"name": "Speaker"
},
"result": [{
}, {
...
...

$david instanceOf PolandPHPConEntitySpeaker


Repository Pattern

$repo = $manager->getRepository('Speaker')


$speakers = $repo->findAll();


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


$criteria = array('Name' => 'Lorna');

$lornas = $repo->findBy($criteria);


$criteria = array(
'Name' => 'Lorna',
'last_name' => 'Jane'
);

$lornaJ = $repo->findOneBy($criteria);


Know your boundaries
