Create a Property Graph from Scratch

You can create graphs from scratch by using the CREATE PROPERTY GRAPH statement in the Query Playground page.

To create a graph from scratch:

1. Click Graphs on the left navigation menu and navigate to the Graphs page.
2. Click </> Query in the Property Graph tab and navigate to the Query Playground page.
3. Enter a CREATE PROPERTY GRAPH statement to create a graph. For example:

   CREATE PROPERTY GRAPH BANK_GRAPH
     VERTEX TABLES (
       bank_accounts
         KEY ( id )
         LABEL Accounts PROPERTIES ( id, name )
     )
     EDGE TABLES (
       bank_txns
         SOURCE KEY ( from_acct_id ) REFERENCES bank_accounts (id)
         DESTINATION KEY ( to_acct_id ) REFERENCES bank_accounts (id)
         LABEL transfers PROPERTIES ( amount, description, from_acct_id, to_acct_id, txn_id )
     )OPTIONS (PG_PGQL)

4. Click Run.

   This creates a graph of type PGQL Property Graph. It is essentially a property graph view over data that is stored in the relational database tables.
