TLDR
In this article, you will learn about the main differences between a graph database and a relational database. The main difference is the way relationships between entities are stored. Graph databases don’t have a predefined structure for the data which is why each record has to be examined individually during a query. Relational databases are faster when handling huge numbers of records because the structure of the data is known ahead of time. This also leads to a smaller memory footprint. There are a lot of use cases for which you should stick with relational databases.via the TL;DR App
