Graph Gurus 33 - GSQL Writing Best Practices Part 2: Design an Optimal Traversal Plan

Recorded April 8, 2020 

GSQL is a user-friendly, highly expressive and Turing-complete graph query language. Although learning GSQL is relatively easy, it can be challenging for some users to know where to start when writing a query. If that feels familiar, this webinar is for you.

In the previous episode, we discussed the thinking flow of writing a query, how to make decisions when designing a traversal path, and how to choose the right accumulator. In this episode, we will discuss how to optimize a traversal plan and the technique of checking a query’s execution statistics.

By watching this webinar you will:

  • Learn how to design an optimal query traversal plan
  • Know how to analyze and tune query performance
  • Be able to write more efficient queries.

During the presentation we will:

  1. Review more GSQL basics
  2. Explain how to design an optimal graph traversal plan
  3. Describe how to check and understand query logs
  4. Show query writing examples
