Greetings,

The problem remains, the following query doesn't execute on the public
DBPedia 
endpoint<http://dbpedia.org/snorql/?query=select+distinct+%3Fproperty+where+{%0D%0A+++++%3Fs+%3Fproperty+%3Fo.%0D%0A}+limit+1>,
even with a limit:

select distinct ?property where {
     ?s ?property ?o.
} limit 1

Without 'distinct' it does work:

select ?property where {
     ?s ?property ?o.
} limit 1

Why might this be? Shouldn't the engine be able to work this one out quickly
even with 'distinct', as it needs to only traverse a single triple to
compute the result? It seems the engine is doing some unnecessary
computation to do with 'distinct' and is timing out because of it.

Best regards,
Curran
