SHOW GRAPHS

Lists graph definitions registered in the catalog.

Syntax

SHOW GRAPHS [LIKE '<pattern>']

Description

## Overview Returns a result set listing all graph definitions registered in the current session's graph definition registry. Each row includes the graph name, entity reference, vertex table, edge table, key columns, and whether the graph is directed. ## Behavior - Returns columns: graph_name, entity_ref, vertex_table_ref, vertex_id_column, edge_table_ref, source_column, target_column, directed. - When LIKE is specified, the pattern is converted to a regular expression and applied case-insensitively against the graph name. Only matching graphs are included in the result. - The command reads from the local graph definition registry on the compute node. It does not query the control plane. - If no graphs are registered, an empty result set is returned. ## Compatibility SHOW GRAPHS is a DeltaForge extension. It complements the CREATE GRAPH and Cypher query features of the graph engine.

Examples

-- List all registered graphs
SHOW GRAPHS;

-- Filter graphs by name pattern
SHOW GRAPHS LIKE '%social%';

-- Find graphs whose names start with 'network'
SHOW GRAPHS LIKE 'network%';

Pitfalls

• SHOW GRAPHS reads from the local compute node's registry. Graphs created on other compute nodes will not appear until their definitions are synchronized.
• The LIKE pattern uses SQL wildcard syntax (% and _), not regular expression syntax. Escape literal percent signs or underscores if needed.
• This command shows graph definitions, not graph data. To inspect the contents of a graph, use SHOW GRAPH <name> or Cypher queries.
