SDB/Joseki Integration

From Jena Wiki

Joseki is a server that implements the SPARQL protocol for HTTP. It can be used to give a SPARQL interface to an SDB installation.

The Joseki server needs the SDB jar files on it's classpath. The Joseki configuration file needs to contain two triples to integrate SDB:

## Initialize SDB.
[] ja:loadClass "com.hp.hpl.jena.sdb.SDB" .
 
## Declare that sdb:DatasetStore is an implementation of ja:RDFDataset .
sdb:DatasetStore rdfs:subClassOf ja:RDFDataset .

then a Joseki service can use an SBD-implemented dataset:

<#books> rdf:type sdb:DatasetStore ;
   sdb:store <#store> .
 
 <#store> rdf:type sdb:Store  ;
   rdfs:label "SDB" ;
   sdb:layout         "layout2" ;
   sdb:connection 
    [  rdf:type sdb:SDBConnection ;
       sdb:sdbType        "postgresql" ;
       sdb:sdbHost        "localhost" ;
       sdb:sdbName        "SDB" ;
    ]
    .

To enable pooling of connections to the SDB store, usethe joseki:poolSize property. This causes Joseki to create a pool of SDB datasets, each with it's own JDBC connection. This requires Joseki 3.2.

<#sdb> rdf:type sdb:DatasetStore ;
    joseki:poolSize     5 ;         # Number of concurrent connections allowed to this dataset.
    sdb:store <#store> .

SDB 1.0:

## Dataset in SDB.  
<#books> rdf:type sdb:DatasetStore , ja:RDFDataset ;
    rdfs:label       "Books" ;
    sdb:layout       "layout2" ;
    sdb:connection 
    [  rdf:type sdb:SDBConnection ;
       sdb:sdbType        "postgresql" ;
       sdb:sdbHost        "localhost" ;
       sdb:sdbName        "SDB" ;
    ]
    .

The database installation does not need to accept public requests, it needs only to be accessible to the Joseki server itself.

There is an example configuration file for a Joseki server using SDB in the Joseki distribution.
