[dba-Tech] Graphics

Thanks for that Stuart.

I am more familiar with a couple of local companies who specialize in
translating and storing compressed vector based data in databases such as
Oracle, MSSQL and PostgreSQL. There products are very expensive. 

Esri Canada https://www.esri.ca/

I am familiar with all the high end graphic applications and assumed that
was what was being described. The original linked site is hardly
illustrative. 

So it is a data analysis tool...sounds useful but not a tool I will be using
in the near future.

You are under a misapprehension.   graph <> graphic

Titan is a "graph database" not a "graphics database", two totally different
things.

It's just another NoSQL data system using the node/edge paradigm
mathematical graph 
theory (not trigonometry).

It has nothing to with with "graphic files"


There's a good primer here:
