Abstract

Relational database is a popular database for storing various types of information. But due to the ever-increasing growth of data, it becomes hard to maintain and process the database. So, the graph model is becoming more and more popular since it can store and handle big data more efficiently compared to relational database. But both relational database and graph database have their own advantages and disadvantages. To overcome their limitations, they are combined to make a hybrid model. This paper discusses relational database, graph database, their advantages, their applications and also talks about hybrid model.
