An article from the Insider within the last week has prompted me to look at graph databases.
From what I can see, they may be able to provide funtionality I've been looking for.
We have multiple data collections servers that are connected via data transfer systems. Each data collection server may itself have 20 or 30 remote applications providing it with data. Following the rabbit trail of how did this data point get to its end user can be... daunting.
So, what advice from the trenches in terms of graph databases? What have you used and what are your opinions?
As always, appreciation in advance.

I read an article that covered the key graph databases and some have very unique use cases. I'll be damned if I can find it again, so maybe worth starting at the wiki page with the comparative features tables.
The ones I looked at and read about, Neo4j for some reason caught my attention, although never actually used it. http://www.neotechnology.com/neo4j-graph-database/[^]
Cheers,

How is it that the agent (graph) is ever going to be more powerful than the thing it represents (data)? Images of connected points?
Being a TSQL user yourself, maybe the idea of "geospatial" datatypes like geometry and geography and the decorated interface that ssmse becomes in 2008 when it displays the projection of them is illustrative of why I question the sense of "database" here.
Perhaps the graph as something entirely different? Inspirational?
I can see that ...

Depends on what the data is and what you have to do with it, e.g. validation and finding exceptions in the data becomes almost trivial.

Read that at work today and tried installing the nightly build at home on my Windows 8. Failed miserably. I'm going to have to try again soon with the release build.

No, don't think so.
I was playing deliberately for the staccato of the 'O's and of course there is no comma in Latin.

 Be that is it may, tempora precedes mores. You can't wiggle out of that neither by the non existing commata in latin nor your staccato intention. That funny disease you insist upon having is what others might perceive as some kind of ass holiness.
Cheers!

True, but that highlights the point that your Latin construction is incorrect, because where you'd want a comma after a clause in English, you should use the enclitic "que" suffix on the first word of the next clause.
But "O Mores Oque Tempora Oque How Ironic" sounds kinda woody.

While it is imitating art it is life?

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
