介绍

We give a brief survey of the evolution of query languages for (property) graphs, starting from the early work in the 1980s on regular path queries, and continuing, via more complex querying primitives and adding data, to current proposals actively developed by the Standards committee known for its work on SQL. These include an extension of SQL with graph queries called SQL/PGQ and a standalone language for graph databases, called GQL.
