oxigraph-query(1)

💖 oxigraph-query — bestie edition 💖

okay so real quick: this is the oxigraph-query(1) page from the General Commands Manual, and I'm about to make it make sense. pull up a chair, grab a boba, we're doing SPARQL today 🧋✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

oxigraph-query — run a SPARQL query against the store. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

oxigraph query <-l|--location> [-q|--query] [--query-file]
[--query-base] [-r|--results-file] [--results-format] [--explain]
[--explain-file] [--stats] [--union-default-graph] [-h|--help]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Execute a SPARQL query against the store. literally the whole point of this command, no notes, she's an icon 👑

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -l, --location <LOCATION> — the directory where Oxigraph data are persisted. this is where your stuff lives, your little data home 🏠
• -q, --query <QUERY> — the SPARQL query to execute. drop it right here, main character energy ✨

if no query or query file are given, stdin is used. so if you ghost both options, she'll just read from stdin, ngl 🫶

• --query-file <QUERY_FILE> — a file in which the query is stored. your query, but make it a file 📄

same deal bestie: if no query or query file are given, stdin is used. 💫

• --query-base <QUERY_BASE> — the base IRI of the query. the anchor point, the origin story, the it-girl of IRIs 🌈
• -r, --results-file <RESULTS_FILE> — the file in which the query results will be stored. where your results go to live their truth 🎁

if no file is given, stdout is used. and in that case, the output format must be specified using the --format option. yes really, that's the rule, don't @ me 😭

• --results-format <RESULTS_FORMAT> — the results format. can be an extension like "nt" or a MIME type like "application/n-triples" — pick your fighter 💅

by default, the format is guessed from the results file extension. she's intuitive like that 🔮

• --explain — print to stderr a human-readable explanation of the query evaluation. it's giving storytime but for your query 🗣️

use the --stats option to print also query evaluation statistics. combo move, slay ✨

• --explain-file <EXPLAIN_FILE> — write to the given file an explanation of the query evaluation. explanation, but make it a whole document 📝

if the file extension is ".json" the JSON format is used, if ".txt" a human-readable format is used. she checks the extension, she's observant like that 👀

use the --stats option to print also query evaluation statistics. again. because it's important 🫶

• --stats — compute some evaluation statistics to print as part of the query explanations. numbers! data! so satisfying 📊

beware, computing the statistics adds some overhead to the evaluation runtime. it's not free, bestie, it costs you time ⏳

• --union-default-graph — if the SPARQL queries should look for triples in all the dataset graphs by default (ie. without GRAPH operations). yes, all the graphs, no GRAPH required, she just knows 🌐
• -h, --help — print help (see a summary with '-h'). the classic. the comfort option. she'll always be there for you 💖

---

that's the whole page, no cap, every single option accounted for, we ate and left no crumbs 🍓

sign-off time: this gorgeous little page is the query entry in the oxigraph-query(1) manual, and it lives in the General Commands Manual section. date? not on this page bestie, she keeps it mysterious 💅✨

bye bye, go query something iconic 👑💜
