Automatic graph database query construction and execution

A computer program product including one or more non-transitory machine-readable mediums having instructions encoded thereon that when executed by at least one processor cause a process to be carried out, the process comprising:

• receiving a first database query including one or more selection sets each defining at least one database field to be queried from a graph database, wherein the first database query is coded in a generic query language, wherein the at least one database field is represented in the graph database as a property of a vertex;
• generating, for each of the one or more selection sets, a second database query including a select clause representing a request to retrieve the property of the vertex from the graph database, wherein the second database query is coded in a graph query language;
• and
• encapsulating the second database query into a third database query configured to be executed on the graph database, the third database query including the second database query, a graph query type, and a graph name associated with the graph database.

A system comprising:

• a storage;
• and
• at least one processor operatively coupled to the storage, the at least one processor configured to execute instructions stored in the storage that when executed cause the at least one processor to carry out a process including
• receiving a first database query including one or more selection sets each defining at least one database field to be queried from a graph database, wherein the first database query is coded in a generic query language;
• generating, for each of the one or more selection sets, a second database query, wherein the second database query is coded in a graph query language;
• and
• encapsulating the second database query into a third database query configured to be executed on the graph database.
