year: property or vertex?

[Dennis O]

Hi,

My DB will contain 1M+ of closely inter-related objects with the key attribute being a "year": most frequently used query will be to pull content related to a specific year (and then - grouping by vertices + some traversal).

What do you think of an approach if I will create 100 years as 100 vertices and will link all my 1M+ vertices to them (edgy vertex?!), vs a standard approach of having a "year" property for each node and searching with a "where" clause?


Thank you!

Hi Dennis,

I think that a standard approach of having a "year" property for each node and searching with a "where" clause is better, so you avoid to have all the links.
