Thanks! I was just reading the neo4j source and noticed the bitmap indexes which apparently have several advantages to B-tree indexes for indexing graphs:

Thanks for showing me triplestores! Good to know that it's better to use a database engine optimized for triples for graphs vs rolling your own in SQL.
