The Rise of GQL: A New ISO Standard in Graph Query Language

The first version of the ISO GQL standard, a significant milestone in database technology, was published on April 12, 2024. GQL is an ISO standard defined for property graph databases and aims to become the de facto query language standard for such databases. It uses pattern matching syntax to declaratively ask queries against graph databases, similar to SQL for relational databases. The publication of GQL establishes a solid foundation and drives the prosperity of graph databases in the coming years. TigerGraph is actively implementing GQL and contributing to its development.
