Examples

The following example translates a SPARQL query into a SQL query string.

DECLARE
  sparql_stmt clob;
  sql_stmt    clob;
BEGIN
  sparql_stmt := '{?x :grandParentOf ?y . ?x rdf:type :Male}';
  sql_stmt := sem_apis.sparql_to_sql(
                sparql_stmt,
                sem_models('family'),
                SEM_Rulebases('RDFS','family_rb'),
                SEM_ALIASES(SEM_ALIAS('','http://www.example.org/family/')),
                null);
  execute immediate
    'create table gf_table as 
     select x grandfather, y grandchild from('|| sql_stmt || ')';
END;
