Namespace Management

A namespace is a logical container for graphs. It helps organize and manage multiple graphs by grouping them together. Each graph must belong to exactly one namespace.

  • Namespaces provide isolation between different graph collections
  • Graph names must be unique within a namespace

You can create, drop, and manage namespaces using the commands below.
