Hi all,  
I'm trying to load somehow Billion NQUADS to Stardog (the latest version running on Ubuntu).  
I've set the Stardog server with strict.parsing=false. I want to skip errors during loading time.  
However, I just got there error:  
"`There was a fatal failure during preparation of 1706d549-142f-49eb-9b4f-717286541a60 com.stardog.stark.io.InvalidRDF: No separator character found in the URI: iri_id_371642758_with_no_name_entry "`

Is it possible to solve skip this issue and continue the loading process?  
TIA  
Best,  
Ghislain

Just to close the loop on this for others reading the forum, the `strict.parsing` should be set as a database option and setting it inside `stardog.properties` does not have an impact.

I was under the impression that `strict.parsing` only applied to literals. Does it apply to IRI's as well?

You could use the rapper parser from the redland library to loop over each line of your NQUADS with a bash script and parse it as though it was a NQUAD with a single triple, then dump the bad ones to the file and optionally include the line number. Raptor would allow you to avoid the JVM start up for each QUAD. I don't know how long it would take for a billion but you could easily parallelize it by breaking it into chunks of 1m.

I confirm that the solution proposed by Evrin solved my issues. Indeed, there were also ill IRI's in the input files. Thanks.
