PostgreSQL 19 is gaining SQL Property Graph Queries (SQL/PGQ), implementing the ISO/IEC 9075-16:2023 standard. 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.
