Hey,
Are you a Java developer? Simply start playing around as such:
GraphDatabaseService graph = new EmbeddedGraphDatabase( "var/graphdb" );
Node a = graph.createNode();
a.setProperty("name", "marko");
Node b = graph.createNode()
b.setProperty("name", "gold plated rocket car");
Relationship r = a.createRelationshipTo(b,
DynamicRelationshipType.withName("purchased"));
r.setProperty("timeStamp", 1234235234);
// Marko--purchased-->GoldPlatedRocketCar
If you want to dynamically do stuff from a terminal, you can consider learning
about graph databases with Gremlin.
http://gremlin.tinkerpop.com
./gremlin.sh
g = new Neo4jGraph('var/graphdb');
a = g.addVertex([name:'marko'])
b = g.addVertex([name:'gold plated rocket car'])
r = g.addEdge(a, b, 'purchased', [timeStamp:'1234235234'])
// what did Marko purchase?
a.outE('purchased').inV.name
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/381641/
Gremlin comes packaged with a few example graphs--no customer/order data--but
hopefully you can abstract the concepts over to your domain.
Hope that helps,
Marko.
