Description

This class provides the main interface to the library. A query can be constructed by parsing a string, retrieving it from a URI and/or constructing it via API methods to build the query expression.

The query structures can be read via methods to return the query verb rasqal_query_get_verb(), the rasqal_data_graph RDF data sources with rasqal_query_get_data_graph() etc., the rasqal_graph_pattern tree with rasqal_query_get_query_graph_pattern(), the sequence of order conditions with rasqal_query_get_order_condition() etc., the rasqal_variable selected to return with rasqal_query_get_bound_variable_sequence() or rasqal_query_get_all_variable_sequence(), and so on.

To process a query string, the rasqal_query_prepare() method parses the query string in some query language and initialises the rasqal_query structures.

The query can be evaluated with the internal query engine against some source of matches using rasqal_query_execute() to give an rasqal_query_results. There are multiple forms of results that can include variable bindings, a boolean or an RDF graph that can be tested for with methods on rasqal_query_results and then retrieved.

Request that query results are stored during execution

When called after a rasqal_query_prepare(), this tells rasqal_query_execute() to execute the entire query immediately rather than generate them lazily, and store all the results in memory.

the rasqal_query object

store_results :

store results flag

non-0 on failure.
