Create your first repository using Workbench

GraphDB’s Workbench, console, and APIs offer a choice of ways to create and manage repositories. For your first one, it’s simplest to use Workbench’s web-based graphical user interface.

To manage your repositories, go to Setup ‣ Repositories. This opens a list of available repositories and their locations.

1. Click the Create new repository button:

   

2. Select GraphDB repository:

   

3. Enter the Repository ID (e.g., my_repo) and leave all other optional configuration settings with their default values.

4. Click the Create button. Your new repository will appear in the repository list.

Note

GraphDB offers a wide range of options in where and how you create your repositories.

• If your GraphDB instance is connected to another one over a network, you can also create a repository on that remote location.

• To learn how to create a repository with the RDF4J console utility, see the console section of the “GraphDB command line tools” documentation.

• For repositories with over several tens of millions of statements, see the configuration parameters.
