Hi all,

I did some semantic web crawling and I gathered information on football clubs from freebase and dbpedia. In the dbpedia data, there is an individual that's equivalent (owl:sameAs) http://dbpedia.org/resource/Chelsea_F.C. , namely
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Chelse_FC\
(note the backslash at the end of the URI)

When I use the sesame 2 API to access the virtuoso RDF store (directly via the java repository), to collect all the owl:sameAs triples for http://dbpedia.org/resource/Chelsea_F.C. like so

st = con.getStatements((Resource) ind, OWL.SAMEAS, null, true, getContexts());

I get this error:

sparql select *
from named<http://myhost.com/ns/graph/linkeddata>
from named<http://myhost.com/ns/graph/soccer>

  graph ?g

<http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#sameAs>  ?o }
  }
[virtuoso.jdbc3.VirtuosoException: SQ074: Line 1: syntax error at '\' before 
'SELECT']

I googled a bit and found these explanations: http://docs.openlinksw.com/virtuoso/dbadm.html , specifically, under 6.1.9.1.9 [Client]:

SQL_NO_CHAR_C_ESCAPE=1

and gave it a shot (setting the conf var to 1), but the result was just another error:

Could not open  RepositoryConnection for transaction; nested exception is 
org.openrdf.repository.RepositoryException: virtuoso.jdbc3.VirtuosoException: 
Not using UTF-8 encoding of SQL statements, but processing character escapes 
also disabled


I also tried setting
SQL_UTF8_EXECS = 1
in spite of reading in http://docs.openlinksw.com/virtuoso/wideidentifiers.html that this may make the whole content of my database unreadable - luckily, It didn't. The error, however, prevailed.

Do I just need to re-populate my database with the new SQL_UTF8_EXECS = 1 setting or is it something else?

Thanks for your time!

Best,

Florian
