IBM DB2 NoSQL Graph Store

IBM DB2 NoSQL Support:

NoSQL Graph Store
Graph data is becoming more commonplace thanks to developments like the adoption of the W3C's Resource Description Framework (RDF). There are many challenges associated with the traditional way graph data is mapped to a relation table, including the need for a significant number of self-joins and poor performance.

The NoSQL Graph Store feature addresses these challenges by providing you with an optimized way to store graph triples inside DB2, and is available for all editions of DB2.

It is interesting that while Neo4j declares RDF to be impractical, both IBM and Oracle have support for such "triple stores" in their mainstream databases.
