| Abstract | To support analytics on massive graphs such as online social networks, RDF, Semantic Web, etc. many new graph algorithms are designed to query graphs for a specific problem, and many distributed graph processing systems are developed to support graph querying by programming. In this paper, we focus on RDBM, which has been well studied over decades to manage large datasets, and we revisit the issue how RDBM can support graph processing at the SQL level. Our work is motivated by the fact that there are many relations stored in RDBM that are closely related to a graph in real applications and need to be used together to query the graph, and RDBM is a system that can query and manage data while data may be updated over time. To support graph processing, in this work, we propose 4 new relational algebra operations, MM-join, MV-join, anti-join, and union-by-update. Here, MM-join and MV-join are join operations between two matrices and between a matrix and a vector, respectively, followed by aggregation computing over groups, given a matrix/vector can be represented by a relation. Both deal with the semiring by which many graph algorithms can be supported. The anti-join removes nodes/edges in a graph when they are unnecessary for the following computing. The union-by-update addresses value updates to compute PageRank, for example. The 4 new relational algebra operations can be defined by the 6 basic relational algebra operations with group-by & aggregation. We revisit SQL recursive queries and show that the 4 operations with others are ensured to have a fixpoint, following the techniques studied in DATALOG, and enhance the recursive WITH clause in SQL'99. We conduct extensive performance studies to test 10 graph algorithms using 9 large real graphs in 3 major RDBMs. We show that RDBMs are capable of dealing with graph processing in reasonable time. The focus of this work is at SQL level. There is high potential to improve the efficiency by main-memory RDBMs, efficient join processing in parallel, and new storage management. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
