Hello, Neo4j is a database + API. Thus, Neo4j will persist your data for you (in a directory) and will expose that data logically as a graph for you (JavaDoc API).
Neo4j is NOT a graph API over an existing database (e.g. MySQL). Hope that helps, Marko. http://markorodriguez.com On May 2, 2011, at 10:03 AM, Anil Tatikonda wrote: > I have read through the Getting Started on Neo4j this morning. > I understood that this a graphical database representation of our data. > > But its very hard to imagine in terms of our Application.
