That would require implementing pretty smart SPARQL parser... I don't think it worth the investment of time. I'd rather put caps on runtime and maybe also on parallel queries per IP, to ensure fair access. We may also have a way to run longer queries - in fact, we'll need it anyway if we want to automate lists - but that is longer term, we'll need to figure out infrastructure for that and how we allocate access. -- Stas Malyshev [email protected] _______________________________________________ Wikidata mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata
