Read Original

This sixth installment in a series on SQL Graph features focuses on Closeness Centrality, a measure of a node's average distance to all others in a network. The article explains its importance for analyzing information flow in social networks, IT infrastructure, and bioinformatics, and details the calculation formula. It highlights how SQL Server 2019's new Shortest Path function lowers the barrier to performing this advanced graph analysis.
