Name

DB.DBA.TTLP_MT — parses TTL (TURTLE), TTL(N-Triple) or NQ (N-quad) resources, and places its triples into DB.DBA.RDF_QUAD on multiple threads.

Synopsis

DB.DBA.TTLP_MT ( in strg any ,
  in base varchar ,
  in graph varchar ,
  in flags integer ,
  in log_mode integer ,
  in threads integer ,
  in transactional integer );
 

Description

Loads the TTL (TURTLE or N3 resource) file on multiple threads, using parallel I/O and multiprocessing if available. The function commit partial transactions while it runs so the transaction log may contain part of loading. Moreover, the function may or may not leave a transaction log, depending on log_mode . Hence, after successful load, one may need to execute the checkpoint statement to make sure that a server restart does not wipe out the results.

Parameters

strg

text of the resource

base

base IRI to resolve relative IRIs to absolute

graph

target graph IRI, parsed triples will appear in that graph.

flags

bitmask of parsing flags. Permits some sorts of syntax errors in resource. Default is 0, meaning no permitted deviations from the spec. Other supported bits are:

  1 - Single quoted and double quoted strings may with newlines.
  2 - Allows bnode predicates (but SPARQL processor may ignore them!).
  4 - Allows variables, but triples with variables are ignored.
  8 - Allows literal subjects, but triples with them are ignored.
 16 - Allows '/', '#', '%' and '+' in local part of QName ("Qname with path")
 32 - Allows invalid symbols between '<' and '>', i.e. in relative IRIs.
 64 - Relax TURTLE syntax to include popular violations.
128 - Try to recover from lexical errors as much as it is possible.
256 - Allows TriG syntax, thus loading data in more than one graph.
512 - Allows loading N-quad dataset files with and optional context value to indicate provenance as detailed

log_mode

detail level of writing the effect of loading to the transaction log. 0 means log nothing, 1 means log only allocations of internal IDs for new IRIs and literals, 2 means log everything. If database crashes when the loading is in progress or after the loading but before checkpoint is made, 0 will means that the database become inconsistent, 1 means that the database is consistent but loaded quads may disappear so the loading should be repeated and log replay may produce wrong results if actions in it depend on the content of quad store, 2 means no danger (so the default is 2). Hence loading with mode 1 and especially mode 0 are faster than usual mode 2 but they require checkpoints after data loadings and mode 0 additionally requires a checkpoint and database backup right before the loading.

threads

number of threads that insert quads into the database. It should not be less than 1, obviously; it is better to not set it greater than ((N-2)/k)-1 where N is the number of available CPU cores and k is the number of loadings that happen at the same time.

transactional

controls the transaction mode which is "0" by default i.e. off and can be turned on by setting it to "1".

Return Types

The return value is not specified and may be changed in future versions.

Example 3 Fourth item in record of NQuad format is optional. If present then it is used as a graph. If missed then the default graph is used. The purpose is to make SPARQL dataset serialization possible in a "natural" way: the content of default graph is written without any graph name specified whereas the content of named graphs is written with fourth field in place. Similarly, TriG uses default graph for triples outside graph blocks. In all these cases, base IRI is used to resolve all relative IRIs of the document, no matter what is the destination graph. Suppose the following scenario:

There is a simple nquad.nq file:
