yes

dynamic column types

Typing

predefined data types such as float or date

yes, ANSI SQL Types, JSON, typed binary structures

partial

Supported data types are Lists, Queues, Hashsets, Dictionary and Counter

yes

not rigid because of 'dynamic typing' concept.

XML support

Some form of processing data in XML format, e.g. support for XML data structures, and/or support for XPath, XQuery or XSLT.

Secondary indexes

Nebula Graph internally uses the Key-Value store RocksDB for persistency. The vertices, edges, and their properties are stored as Key while their values are stored as Value. The primary indexes are per Key and secondary indexes are per Value.

yes

SQL

Support of SQL

yes, ANSI SQL with proprietary extensions

SQL-like query syntax and LINQ for searching the cache. Cache Synchronization with SQL Server using SQL dependency.

SQL-like query language

yes
