4 Introduction to SQL Property Graphs

You can work with SQL property graphs in any SQL based interface (such as SQL Developer, SQLPLUS, or SQLcl) or from a Java program using JDBC.

Using SQL statements, you can perform the following:

  • Create a SQL property graph from existing database objects in your schema, such as:
  • Create a synonym for a SQL property graph.
  • Revalidate a SQL property graph.
  • Rename a SQL property graph
  • Run graph pattern matching queries on a SQL property graph.
  • Drop a SQL property graph.

For example, the following figure shows the creation of a SQL property graph using the SQL Developer tool.
