IBM Db2 Graph: Supporting Synergistic and Retrofittable Graph Queries Inside IBM Db2

Summary: IBM Db2 Graph is an in-DBMS graph query layer enabling synergistic graph and SQL analytics in Db2. A graph overlay exposes a view over relational data and retrofits queries without data movement, with compile-time and runtime optimizations for analytics. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
