SelectBuilder gives you more control because you are building the query directly. The downside is that this requires you to understand how SPARQL queries get translated into ARQs internal AST in order to be able to build queries.
Also with SelectBuilder you don't have to parse the query so building a query with SelectBuilder may be more performant depending on the complexity of your queries. So I would say ParameterizedSparqlString is better for simple queries but provides less control and performance than SelectBuilder.

Is ParameterizedSparqlString any better or worse than SelectBuilder since they seem to do roughly the same thing. thanks graham On 25/03/21 10:05 pm, Rob Vesse wrote: > ParameterizedSparqlString works by simple textual substitution into the provided query string so you get a more specific query with your parameters > > It does not have any relationship to joins. > > I guess what you may be asking is how it compares to other methods for providing initial bindings e.g. adding VALUES to a query which would be evaluated as a Join? The answer there is that it isn't really a fair comparison, a parameterized query vs one using VALUES might yield very different query execution plans so perform very differently.
