Hey Christian,
You can use the Document API via that call to getRawGraph() which returns
an ODatabaseDocumentTx object.
The Graph API, which implements the TinkerPop Blueprints interface, is also
very easy to use and makes it simpler to add edges to vertices.
Something to note about the Graph API v. the Document API. The Graph API
by default operates within an automatic transaction because it has to
maintain both sides of the operation when adding/managing links as edges.
You can also called graphDB.command( ... ) to execute the SQL. But, if
you're already using the Graph DB API, might as well just call addEdge on a
vertex or on the graph DB object directly.
Some of my document databases that I ported to OrientDB I just left as
documents and manually added links to other documents. This gave me the
graph functionality I needed, even though I was responsible for the
connections instead of letting the database handle the edges.
Hope that helps!
