The DAL doesn't support any graph databases, so you'll have to use 
third-party libraries to handle any interactions with the database. What 
kind of "support" are you looking for? Are you saying you want to use the 
DAL methods to handle queries, inserts, etc.? If so, the current set of 
methods would probably be inadequate given the very different structure of 
graph data. You would really need to use a somewhat different abstraction 
than what is provided by the DAL, in which case, why not just use an 
existing third-party library that already provides the appropriate 
abstraction?
