Standards body adoption could help ease portability between vendors
GQL, the query language for graph databases, has been recognized by the International Organization for Standardization , offering users more portability of queries and skills between graph database systems.Carl Olofson, research vice president at analyst IDC, said the industry had been waiting for"quite some time" for a standard graph query language to emerge.
The standard was edited by Stefan Plantikow, Neo4j product manager and standards engineer, and as such the graph database specialist is one of the leading companies in the collaboration. Neo4j also has its own query language called Cypher. "If you're familiar with SQL, then certainly things like the aggregate parts of GQL are going to look very familiar," he said."But if you're familiar with things like Cypher or open Cypher, that's a much more straightforward segue into GQL. SQL deals with tables and sets, so its machinery is geared up for that. GQL code deals with graph so the machinery works on pattern matching and path expressions.
In a sign of harmony among software vendors, TigerGraph, Neo4j's main rival in the market, is also supporting the standard., Mingxi Wu, TigerGraph SVP of engineering, writes:"As the graph database industry evolves, it becomes the third canonical database, alongside relational databases and key-value store databases.
