Welcome to GQLDB

GQLDB is Ultipa's high-performance graph database. This Quick Start walks you from an empty machine to a working graph you can query, analyze, and explore with an AI agent, in about 15 minutes.

By the end of this guide you will have:

  1. A running GQLDB instance and a client connected to it.
  2. A graph loaded with real data.
  3. A feel for querying with GQL, the ISO-standard graph query language.
  4. A graph algorithm running over your data.
  5. An AI agent wired to your database through the Ultipa MCP server.

What You Will Build

Every chapter uses the same small social graph of users who follow one another.

  • Nodes are User entities, each with properties name, age, and city.
  • Edges are Follows relationships, each recording the year the follow started in a since property.

This is enough to demonstrate loading, pattern matching, path finding, and a centrality algorithm, while staying small enough to read the whole result set.

How to Use This Guide

The chapters are meant to be read in order:

  1. Install & Connect: get a running instance and connect to it.
  2. Load Your Data: create a graph and put data in it.
  3. Query Your Data: retrieve and traverse with GQL.
  4. Run Graph Algorithms: score and rank your nodes.
  5. Work with an AI Agent: operate the database in natural language.
  6. Next Steps: where to go deeper.
