GRFusion: Graphs as First-Class Citizens in Main-Memory Relational Database Systems
Summary: GRFusion brings graphs as first-class citizens in an in-memory RDBMS (VoltDB), with declarative graph definitions and graph operators. Cross-data-model queries fuse relational and graph operators, enabling seamless, in-database graph analytics. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
