Ambra TQL Interpreter

See Also: http://docs.mulgara.org/itqlcommands/

Starting

There are two ways to run this - via tools rpm or via maven from source tree.

• tools rpm script: /usr/local/topaz/bin/run-tql

• maven: cd head/ambra/scripts; mvn -o -Prun-tql -Dargs="...."

Of course, you must have mulgara running. There are two ways to do this too - in production/staging or via maven.

• production: add -Mhost:port to indicate where mulgara is running
• maven: cd head; mvn ant-tasks:mulgara-start
  • This assumes mvn ant-tasks:mulgara-install was run at least once
  • mulgara-start recreates the database everytime unless -Dtopaz.mulgara.databaseDir=<dir> is specified

Init File

run-tql will look for any startup commands in ~/.runtql. Following are recommended:

%mode = "table reduce quote"
.alias set a http:///www.w3.org/2000/10/annotation-ns#

Notes

• Please use ".help"
• It has minimal readline support via jline (a pure-java readline library). It is probably missing things you're used too, but it still makes many things easier.
  • history is stored per semicolon terminated itql command, not per line
• lines that start with ".", "%" and "#" are special. See .help
