Graph Metadata Modeling Commands

The following are the graph metadata modeling commands:

No. Command Description
1. create attrdesc <attrname> as <type> Create an attribute descriptor (attrdesc) with name, type. The <type> that are supported are as follows:
  • String
  • Boolean
  • Byte
  • Char
  • Short
  • Int
  • Long
  • Float
  • Double
  • Number (precision, scale)
  • Date
  • Time
  • Timestamp
2. create [unique] index <indexname> attributes ([<attrname>]+)[on <nodetypename>] Create new index in the Graph Database server with a subset of attributes and nodetype in the global set.
3. create nodetype <nodetypename> attributes ([<attrname>]+) pkeys ([<pkeyname>]+)] Create a new nodetype which uses a subset of the attributes.
4. create directed|undirected|bidirected edgetype <edgetypename> [attributes([<attrname>]+)] [from <nodetypename>] [to <nodetypename>] Create a new edgetype which uses a subset of the attributes.
5. describe <name> Display details of nodetype, edgetype, index, or attribute.
6. show attrdesc Show all attributes created in the Database.
7. show indices Show all indexes created in the Database.
8. show types Show all nodetypes and edgetypes created in the Database.
Note:
  • Metadata can also be defined during the Database initialization process (initdb.conf). See the Hands-on Exercise topic in the TIBCO Graph Database Getting Started Guide for more details.
