Last year, when I blogged on NoSQL databases I briefly described the types of databases that are usually encompassed by the term NoSQL Databases. In that series of blogs I reviewed three types of databases, Key-Value Databases, Column-Oriented Databases and Document Databases, before focusing my attention on RavenDB – a document database.
In this blog, I will introduce a fourth class of NoSQL Database – Graph Databases. While Graph Databases are NoSQL Databases they are significantly different from the other three classes of NoSQL Databases. Graph Databases are based on the mathematical concepts of graph theory.
