GraphWrangler: An Interactive Graph View on Relational Data

Summary: GraphWrangler connects to an RDBMS to extract graphs from relational data, enabling visualization and interactive exploration with no manual ETL. It automatically generates ETL scripts and relies on a predictive interaction framework plus a SQL-subset data transformation language for interactive graph analytics.
