"Graph Databases: 1 In data journalism, we tend to use relational databases - data in table form - using tools such as Excel or SQL to do our analysis and find stories. Graph databases are different, but are incredibly useful to find connections or patterns within our data that would be difficult, if not impossible, to spot using a relational database. Often we are interested in the relationships between people, organisations and other networks such as the recent Panama Papers investigations.
