just had the emotional rollercoaster of "omg graph databases are a thing!!" ... "oh apparently they all suck"
-
in true orange website fashion... Q: "what's the best graph database?"

A: "this one's good" A: "I like this one" A: "hi I was the maintainer of conceptnet literally sqlplus is more perfomant than any of them"

... but really weren't workable for large scale projects, at least as of 2-ish years ago.

yea consensus seems to be they only really work at scales so trivial that anything would work

Can't you visualize any data however you want?

-
not sure what you mean. I'm referring to handling data as graphs inside the database vs tables with rows and column relationships
-
but it seems the software is nowhere near mature enough and it's better to just abstract over postgres
-
Huh I don't see what you mean either. Got a reference to this tech/approach you're talking about?
-
oh "visualize" indicates you may mean graph as in chart, or like the plot of a function? I mean graph like in discrete math

the rdf rabbit-hole awaits
-
stay away from RDF if you want any semblance of speed. Lots of tooling out there, but RDF is a religion
-
hard to argue with that - I expect there’s a performance/practicality sweet spot, but I’m not sure I’ve found it …

also possibly useful if you want "automatically derived graph facts" could be datalog and related stuff
