The article presents a brief overview of Cypher and Gremlin query languages for graph databases. The requirements to the query language for billing information storages take into account special features of the billing data processing tasks. The necessity of creating a specialized query language is justified. A query language, which combines both convenience and clarity of declarative paradigm with the simplicity offunctionality extension, is designed and implemented. Basic syntax and semantics of the language constructions are provided. We show the results of the test execution time of individual queries, which also reflect the performance of graph storage used.
