SDB Installation


The Apache Jena SDB module has been retired and is no longer supported.
The last release of Jena with this module was Apache Jena 3.17.0.


A suitable database must be installed separately. Any database installation should be tuned according to the database documentation.

The SDB distribution is zip file of a directory hierarchy.

Unzip this. You may need to run chmod u+x on the scripts in the bin/ directory.

Write a sdb.ttl store description: there are examples in the Store/ directory.

A database must be created before the tests can be run. Microsoft SQL server and PostgreSQL need specific database options set when a database is created.

To use in a Java application, put all the jar files in lib/ on the build and classpath of your application. See the Java API.

To use command line scripts, see the scripts page including setting environment variables SDBROOT, SDB_USER, SDB_PASSWORD and SDB_JDBC.
