Multiple methods have emerged in computer science to represent graphs in numerical/logical formats; most of these methods rely heavily on pointers. However, most current business applications also rely heavily on relational databases as a primary source of storing information. Moreover, most databases are relational by nature, and this does not provide the best-fit scenario to represent graphs. In this work,we presenta solution to representing a graph in a relational database.We also provide a set of procedures to traverse this graph and determine the connection path between two given nodes.}, }
