Gstore System
Gstore System(also called gStore) is a graph database engine for managing large graph-structured data, which is open-source and targets at Linux operation systems. The whole project is written in C++, with the help of some libraries such as readline, antlr, and so on. Only source tarballs are provided currently, which means you have to compile the source code if you want to use our system.
The formal help document is in Handbook.
You can write your information in survey if you like.
Getting Started
This system is really user-friendly and you can pick it up in several minutes. Remember to check your platform where you want to run this system by viewing System Requirements. After all are verified, please get this project's source code. There are several ways to do this:
-
download the zip from this repository and extract it
-
fork this repository in your github account
-
type
git clone git@github.com:Caesar11/gStore.git
in your terminal or use git GUI to acquire it
Then you need to compile the project, just type make
in the gStore root directory, and all executables will be ok. To run gStore, please type bin/gbuild database_name dataset_path
to build a database named by yourself. And you can use bin/gquery database_name
command to query a existing database. What is more, bin/gconsole
is a wonderful tool designed for you, providing all operations you need to use gStore. Notice that all commands should be typed in the root directory of gStore, and your database name should not end with ".db".
