¶

The boolean functions bif:contains, bif:xcontains, bif:xpath_contains and bif:xquery_contains can be used for objects that come from Linked Data Views as well as for regular "physical" triples. Each of these functions takes two arguments and returns a boolean value. The first argument is a local variable which should also be used as an object field in the group pattern where the filter condition is placed.

In order to execute the examples below please run these commands:

SQL>SPARQL CLEAR GRAPH <http://MyTest.com>;
DB.DBA.RDF_QUAD_URI_L ('http://MyTest.com', 'sxml1', 'p_all1', xtree_doc ('<Hello>world</Hello>'));
DB.DBA.RDF_QUAD_URI_L ('http://MyTest.com', 'sxml2', 'p_all2', xtree_doc ('<Hello2>world</Hello2>'));
DB.DBA.RDF_QUAD_URI_L ('http://MyTest.com', 'nonxml1', 'p_all3', 'Hello world');
VT_INC_INDEX_DB_DBA_RDF_OBJ();
DB.DBA.RDF_OBJ_FT_RULE_ADD ('http://MyTest.com', null, 'My test RDF Data');
