SQLGraph: An Efficient Relational-Based Property Graph Store
Summary: Hybrid schema: adjacency in relational tables; vertex/edge attributes in JSON. Gremlin-to-SQL translates queries to SQL, letting mature optimizers beat pure-relational or JSON stores; shows 2–8x faster queries and 10–30x throughput on massive graphs.
