### Example
|
||||||
|
Let's say, you have 2 tables:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
house:
|
||||||
|
| name | points |
|
||||||
|
| ---------- | ------ |
|
||||||
|
| Gryffindor | 100 |
|
||||||
|
| Hufflepuff | 90 |
|
||||||
|
| Ravenclaw | 95 |
|
||||||
|
| Slytherin | 80 |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
student:
|
||||||
|
| id | name | house |
|
||||||
|
| -- | -------------- | ---------- |
|
||||||
|
| 1 | Harry Potter | Gryffindor |
|
||||||
|
| 2 | Ron Weasley | Gryffindor |
|
||||||
|
| 3 | Draco Malfoy' | Slytherin |
|
||||||
|
| 4 | Luna Lovegood | Ravenclaw |
|
||||||
|
| 5 | Cedric Diggory | Hufflepuff |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Each student belongs to a certain house.
|
||||||
|
Let's say you want to build a graph with houses and students as nodes and where each house has a link to its students.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We are going to use [json_object][1] function to form JSONs. The result set should contain both nodes and edges and we have to provide a field indicating that (0 - for nodes and 1 - for edges). Let's provide it as 'object_type':
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sql
|
||||||
|
SELECT json_object('object_type', 0)
|
||||||
|
FROM house
|
||||||
|
UNION ALL
|
||||||
|
SELECT json_object('object_type', 0)
|
||||||
|
FROM student
|
||||||
|
UNION ALL
|
||||||
|
SELECT json_object('object_type', 1)
|
||||||
|
FROM student
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Note that we included `student` table twice. That is because the table contains not only students but also their relationship to houses.
|
||||||
|
So the first union will be used as node records and the second one - as edges.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then we need to provide an ID for each node. For students - `id` and for houses - `name`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sql
|
||||||
|
SELECT json_object('object_type', 0, 'node_id', name)
|
||||||
|
FROM house
|
||||||
|
UNION ALL
|
||||||
|
SELECT json_object('object_type', 0, 'node_id', id)
|
||||||
|
FROM student
|
||||||
|
UNION ALL
|
||||||
|
SELECT json_object('object_type', 1)
|
||||||
|
FROM student
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Each edge record must specify where it starts and where it ends. Let's provide it as `source` and `target`.
|
||||||
|
Provide values that are used as node IDs. In our case it's house names and student IDs:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sql
|
||||||
|
SELECT json_object('object_type', 0, 'node_id', name)
|
||||||
|
FROM house
|
||||||
|
UNION ALL
|
||||||
|
SELECT json_object('object_type', 0, 'node_id', id)
|
||||||
|
FROM student
|
||||||
|
UNION ALL
|
||||||
|
SELECT json_object('object_type', 1, 'source', house, 'target', id)
|
||||||
|
FROM student
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Basically, that is enough to build a graph. But it won't be meaningfull without lables.
|
||||||
|
Also, it would be nice to distinguish house nodes from student nodes e.g. by color.
|
||||||
|
Let's put additional fields - `label` and `type` that can be used in graph styling.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sql
|
||||||
|
SELECT json_object('object_type', 0, 'node_id', name, 'label', name, 'type', 'house')
|
||||||
|
FROM house
|
||||||
|
UNION ALL
|
||||||
|
SELECT json_object('object_type', 0, 'node_id', id, 'label', name, 'type', 'student')
|
||||||
|
FROM student
|
||||||
|
UNION ALL
|
||||||
|
SELECT json_object('object_type', 1, 'source', house, 'target', id)
|
||||||
|
FROM student
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Run the query, the result set will look like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| json_object('object_type', 0, 'node_id', name, 'label', name, 'type', 'house') |
