Unexpected Exception in Query

Support
1

I am running Stardog 5.2.3 (without reasoning) with the following query:

prefix irishTitle: <http://example.com/earlyIrishTitles.ttl#> 
prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>

select distinct ?person ?king where {
  {
    ?a a foaf:Person.
    bind(count(?a) as ?person)
  } union {
    ?b a irishTitle:Rí.
    bind(count(?b) as ?king)
  }
}

When I ran this query, I received the following stacktrace in the logs:

Looks like there is a null pointer exception somewhere. You will need to download my database from github then use the foaf and relationship ontologies (RELATIONSHIP: A vocabulary for describing relationships between people). There are a few ontologies that are in the github repo that you will also need to install as well.

Hi,

Any chance you can pack up all required ontologies in a single archive? Also, is it possible to zip up the Stardog database dir and make that available to us (the dir inside you STARDOG_HOME named as the database)?

Thanks,
Pavel

Hi Pavel,

No problem. I will produce a dump of the database from Stardog like last time and I will email it to you. There wil be a slight delay as it is on my home computer so I will need to wait until tonight.

Thanks!,
Chris

Hi Chris,

I was able to reproduce the problem. The issue is that the query isn’t syntactically valid, you cannot use aggregates, e.g. count, in a bind. We’ll improve the SPARQL parser to report it properly as a syntax error.

My guess is you probably need something like this instead:

select (count(distinct ?a) as ?person) (count(distinct ?b) as ?king) where {
{
  ?a a foaf:Person.
} union {
  ?b a irishTitle:Rí.
}
}

Cheers,
Pavel

Hi Pavel,

Great. Thanks. Yes, I did what you suggested but I wanted to report the exception as Stardog did not reject the query outright. Thank you for looking into it.
