Introduction

PostGraph is a multi-model, graph centric query engine build on Postgres. PostGraph is designed to work fast with your OLTP, OLAP and AI Applications.

Requirements

• Linux
• PostGIS 3.3
• Development Files for PostgreSQL and PostGIS

Building & Installation From Source

Download and Install the postgres_for_postgraph source

git clone https://github.com/PostGraphDB/postgres_for_postgraph
cd postgres_for_postgraph
./configure --prefix=($pwd)
make
sudo make install

Install PostGIS

Install PostGraph

git clone https://github.com/PostGraphDB/postgraph
cd postgraph
make POSTGIS_DIR=/path/to/postgis/source/files
sudo make install

Once PostGraph is installed, it needs to be enabled in each database you want to use it in. In the example below we use a database named postgraph.

createdb postgraph
psql postgraph -c "CREATE EXTENSION PostGIS"
psql postgraph -c "CREATE EXTENSION LTree"
psql postgraph -c "CREATE EXTENSION PostGraph"

You can find the location of the postgresql.conf file as given next:

$ which postgres
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres
$ ls /usr/local/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
/usr/local/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf

As can be seen, the PostgreSQL binaries are in the bin subdirectory while the postgresql.conf file is in the data subdirectory.

Set the following in postgresql.conf depending on the version of PostGraph and it's dependecy PostGIS:

shared_preload_libraries = 'postgraph'

POSTGIS Dependencies: autoconf automake libtool libxml2-devel geos-devel proj-devel protobuf-devel protobuf-c-compiler protobuf-compiler gdal-devel

Quick Start

Use psql to start a command line session with your database

Create a graph

Set the Graph being used

Create Data with the CREATE command

CREATE (v { name: 'Hello Graph!'}) RETURN v;

Find data with the MATCH command
