Funny, the core table of salesforce.com is triples but they got a patent circa 2000 on a system that builds indexes and materializes views based on query profiling so the performance is good (w/ gold plated hardware). That patent is one reason why graph databases sucked for a long time.

Now the Lotus notes patents have been long expired so I’d like to see some graph database based products that can do what Notes did 30 years ago but it is lost technology like the pyramids, stonehenge and how to make HTML form applications without React.
