AgensGraph: About it, and Getting access to it.

AgensGraph is a database server, and a complete DBMS that provides storage and management functionalities for graph-structured data. AgensGraph extends PosygreSQL's relational database with features and functions that are graph-specific. It runs a separate server process, and clients can connect to it for data storage, querying and analysis.

Just like any Database server would do, AgensGraph also manages storage of data, provides concurrency control, ensures data integrity, and offers various optimization techniques which help query performance enhancement. It maintains data consistency while allowing multiple clients to interact with the database concurrently.

AgensGraph provides a dedicated environment for managing graph data, allowing you to access and store large-scale graph structured datasets in an efficient way. Clients can connect to AgensGraph server using various programming languages, or libraries which support the PostgreSQL protocol.

As a summary, AgensGraphleverages postgreSQL infrastructure to provide database essential functionalities, and it is therefore used by users and developers to interact with the graph DB server, modify data, execute queries, and retrieve results from them.
