Extending the ORM to neo4j about genie.jl HOT 3 CLOSED

My experience with graph DBs is very limited so I can't say with any degree of certainty.

For a RDBMS the implementation should be pretty straightforward. SearchLight uses something like the bridge pattern in a structure similar to:
[1. SearchLight Developer API] > [2. DB specific SearchLight adapter] > [3. low level Julia DB library]
1 - exposes the querying API to the developer - normally it shouldn't be touched
3 - would be the neo4j Julia library
2 - would be the adapter between 1 and 3

The corresponding files for the current PostgreSQL implementation are:
1 - Genie.jl/lib/SearchLight/src/SearchLight.jl
2 - Genie.jl/lib/SearchLight/src/database_adapters/PostgreSQLDatabaseAdapter.jl
3 - https://github.com/JuliaDB/PostgreSQL.jl

I guess the only question is how easy would be to query the graph DB in a RDBMS manner - and by looking at the Ruby / Rails implementation, seems doable:

If you go down this path let me know, happy to help - I'm curious about it.

@datnamer Did you ever venture down this path or possibly with another graph DB?

from genie.jl.

@berzley nope. Ended up not needing to do so.
