This diploma thesis is about graph databases, which belong to the category of database systems known as NoSQL databases, but graph databases are beyond NoSQL databases. Graph databases are useful in many cases thanks to native storing of interconnections between data, which brings advantageous properties in comparison with traditional relational database system, especially in querying. The main goal of the thesis is: to describe principles, properties and advantages of graph database; to design own convenient graph database use case and to realize the template verifying designed use case. The theoretical part focuses on the description of properties and principles of the graph database which are then compared with relational database approach. Next part dedicates analysis and explanation of the most typical use cases of the graph database including the unsuitable use cases. The last part of thesis contains analysis of own graph database use case in which several principles are defined. The principles can be applied separately. There are crucial analytical operations in the use case. The analytical operations search the causes with their rate of influence on amount or change in the value of the indicator. This part also includes the realization of the template verifying the use case in the graph database. The template consists of the database structure design, the concrete database data and analytical operations. In the end the returned results from graph database are verified by the alternative calculations without using the graph database.
