A SQLAlchemy-backed, formula-aware RDFLib Store. It stores its triples in the following partitions:

• Asserted non rdf:type statements.
• Asserted rdf:type statements (in a table which models Class membership). The motivation for this partition is primarily query speed and scalability as most graphs will always have more rdf:type statements than others.
• All Quoted statements.

In addition, it persists namespace mappings in a separate table.

Back-end persistence is provided by SQLAlchemy.

Tested dialects are:

• SQLite, using the built-in Python driver or, for Python 2.5, pysqlite
• MySQL, using the MySQLdb-python driver or, for Python 3, mysql-connector
• PostgreSQL, using the psycopg2 driver or the pg8000 driver.

MySQLdb-python: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/MySQL-python

nose and tox are supported as test runners. Select the SQL back-end by setting a DB environment variable. Select the database connection by setting the DBURI variable. With tox, you can also specify the Python version.

Using nose::

DB='pgsql' DBURI='postgresql+psycopg2://user:password@host/dbname' nosetests

Using tox::

DB='pgsql' DBURI='postgresql+psycopg2://user:password@host/dbname' tox -e py32

DB variants are 'pgsql', 'mysql' and 'sqlite'. Except in the case of SQLite, you'll need to create the database independently, before execution of the test.

Sample DBURI values::

dburi = Literal("mysql://username:password@hostname:port/database-name?other-parameter")
dburi = Literal("mysql+mysqldb://user:password@hostname:port/database?charset=utf8")
dburi = Literal('postgresql+psycopg2://user:pasword@hostname:port/database')
dburi = Literal('postgresql+pg8000://user:pasword@hostname:port/database')
dburi = Literal('sqlite:////absolute/path/to/foo.db')
dburi = Literal("sqlite:///%(here)s/development.sqlite" % {"here": os.getcwd()})
dburi = Literal('sqlite://') # In-memory
