Abstract
Embodiments provide for querying and visualization of query results of graph data. An engine processes graph data to create metadata (e.g., in JSON format) identifying at least different node types and edge types that are present in a graph database. An overview visualization simplifies presentation of graph data by depicting only various different node types and graph types. The overview visualization may form the basis for formulating queries including the metadata, which are then promulgated to the graph database. Returned query results may be visualized as an overview or on a detailed node level, promoting insight and formulation of additional queries including node/edge type metadata. The engine may convert graph data query results into tabular form for consumption by relational database analytical tools. According to particular embodiments, an engine of an in-memory database may be particularly suited to perform graph data visualization, querying, and/or tabular conversion tasks.
