1.10 Using Oracle Graph with the Autonomous Database

Oracle Graph with the Autonomous Database allows you to create property graphs from data in your Autonomous Database.

When using Autonomous Database in a shared deployment, you can use Graph Studio, a fully managed service with a powerful user interface for developing applications that use graph analysis. Using Graph Studio, you can automate the modeling of graphs from tables in Autonomous Database. You can interactively analyze and visualize the graph queries using advanced notebooks with multiple visualization options. You can execute over 60 built-in graph algorithms in Graph Studio to gain useful insights on your graph data. See Using Graph Studio in Oracle Autonomous Database for more information.

You can also access few Graph Studio features using the Autonomous Database Graph Client API using the client shell CLIs or through your Java or Python application. See Using Autonomous Database Graph Client for more information.

Alternatively, you can use any version of Oracle Graph Server and Client with the family of Oracle Autonomous Database to create and work with property graphs. This includes any version of Oracle Autonomous Database (shared) or Oracle Autonomous Database (dedicated). You can always upgrade to the latest version of Graph Server and Client regardless of the version of your Autonomous Database. Note that the graph server is managed by the application in this case.

You can connect in two-tier mode (connect directly to Autonomous Database) or three-tier mode (connect to PGX on the middle tier, which then connects to Autonomous Database). (For basic information about two-tier and three-tier connection modes, see Storing Graphs in Oracle Database and Loading Graphs into Memory.)

The database schema storing the graph must have the privileges listed in Required Privileges for Database Users.

• Using Autonomous Database Graph Client
  Using the AdbGraphClient API, you can access Graph Studio features in Autonomous Database programmatically using the Oracle Graph Client or through your Java or Python application.
• Two-Tier Deployments of Oracle Graph with Autonomous Database
  In two-tier deployments, the client graph application connects directly to the Autonomous Database.
• Three-Tier Deployments of Oracle Graph with Autonomous Database
  In three-tier deployments, the client graph application connects to PGX in a middle tier, and PGX connects to the Autonomous Database.
