The feature adds a GRAPH_TABLE table function for graph pattern matching, DDL commands for creating/altering/dropping property graphs, new system catalogs, and psql support. The author admits skepticism about the syntax, finding it more verbose than equivalent JOIN-based SQL, and questions the practical benefits for typical use cases. Several CYBERTEC blog posts are linked for deeper coverage of the feature. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
