Hey there, let's break down your two ArangoDB 3.1 issues on Windows 10 one by one:

1. Fix for arangoimp.exe closing immediately after entering password #

The root cause here is that arangoimp is a command-line utility—double-clicking it directly opens a terminal window that closes as soon as the process finishes (or hits an issue). Here's how to fix this properly:

• First, open a Command Prompt or PowerShell (press Win+R, type cmd or powershell, hit Enter).
• Navigate to the ArangoDB bin directory where arangoimp.exe lives. The default path is usually:

  cd "C:\Program Files\ArangoDB3 3.1\bin"
  

• Run arangoimp with all necessary parameters directly in the terminal. For example, to import a JSON file into a collection:

  arangoimp --file "C:\your\file\path\data.json" --type json --collection your_collection_name --server.username root --server.password your_actual_password
  

  If you don't want to write your password in plain text, omit the --server.password flag. When you run the command, it'll prompt you to enter the password—and since you're in a persistent terminal window, it won't close after you hit Enter.

Also, quick check: make sure your ArangoDB single-server instance is running. You can verify this by opening services.msc (Win+R > type services.msc), finding the ArangoDB service, and confirming it's in "Running" status. Start it if it's stopped.

2. Can AQL query results be displayed as a graph? #

Absolutely! ArangoDB 3.1's built-in Web UI lets you visualize AQL results as a graph, though you'll need to use the UI instead of the command line. Here's how:

• Open your browser and go to http://localhost:8529 (this is the default port; use your custom port if you changed it during setup).
• Log in with your ArangoDB credentials, then head to the Queries tab.
• Type in your AQL query (e.g., FOR doc IN my_collection RETURN doc) and run it.
• Once results load, look at the top of the results panel—you'll see options for Table, Graph, and JSON. Click the Graph tab, and your results will render as a visual graph.

A quick note: For the graph view to be meaningful, your data should have a proper vertex-edge structure (i.e., separate collections for vertices and edges that define relationships between them). If you're just querying standalone documents without relationships, you'll see isolated nodes in the graph view.
