Graph databases and the NoSQL movement has recently gained much attention and popularity. Graph databases has a reputation for being fast and e cient for application types that contain huge amounts of data and many complex relationships. Studies examined in this report show that the previous conducted experiments compare databases for applications that have favored the graph model. This report aims to examine both databases, but also to perform an experiment. The purpose of this experiment is to nd out if the graph database Neo4j can replace the relational database MySQL for a traditional information application which is usually implemented using a relational database. Results demonstrate that Neo4j performs very well at insertion and retrieval, however, the study addresses several factors that play a role in the choice of database. The lack of security and support are some factors that could make the relational database the best choice for a traditional information application.
