How to do a SPARQL update statement via the Stardog CLI?

[Jacobus Geluk]

The stardoq "query execute" CLI command does not like SPARQL INSERT statements it seems. And "stardog data" does not have an option to take a SPARQL Update statement either. So I can only use curl/wget?

What about it doesn't like your insert query?  Using 2.1.2, with an update query example from the spec, it worked fine:

mhgrove:dist mhgrove$ ./bin/stardog query foo "PREFIX dc: <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/>

> INSERT DATA

> { 

>   <http://example/book1> dc:title 'A new book' ;

>                          dc:creator 'A.N.Other' .

> }"

Update query processed successfully.

If you have literals in the query, which use quotes ("), and you're wrapping the query in quotes, the shell can munge the query by mismatching the quote characters.  So if you're using " for the literals, you have to use ' to wrap the query in the shell, or vice versa, otherwise it the string you are passing in won't make it in tact.

Cheers,

Mike

You're right, I had some obscure typo in my query. Thanks!
