Alternatives for OrientDB Schema

Question

The OrientDB documentation describes how to use their API enabled schema for Java graph databases in ways like the following..

profile.createProperty("nick", OType.STRING).setMin("3").setMax("30").setMandatory(true).setNotNull(true);

Are there other possible alternatives for creating and enforcing a schema with OrientDB? (ie XML, JSON, XSD) Or is their API the only way?

Answer 1

you can do it from OrientDB Studio (web UI) or with simple SQL statements (executed from Studio, console, any programmatic API or from REST protocol http://orientdb.com/docs/last/OrientDB-REST.html ), eg.

 create class Person extends V
 create property Person.name STRING 
 alter property Person.name MANDATORY true
