Using the Workbench¶

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

1. Click the the Connect button next to the location you want to activate.

   

2. Click the Create new repository button or create it from a file by using the configuration template that can be found at configs/templates/.

   

3. Enter the Repository ID (e.g., repository1) and leave all other optional configuration settings with their default values.

   Tip

   For repositories with more than few tens of millions of statements, see the configuration parameters.

4. Click the Create button. You newly created repository appears in the repositories list.

Using the RDF4J console¶

1. Run the RDF4J console application, which resides in the /bin folder:

   console.cmd (Windows)
   ./console (Unix/Linux)
   

2. Connect to the GraphDB server instance using the command:

   connect http://localhost:7200.
   

3. Create a repository using the command:

   create free.
   

4. Fill in the values of the parameters in the console.

5. Exit the RDF4J console.

   quit.
   

Select a repository¶

• Connect the newly created repository to the active location.

  

• Alternatively, use the dropdown menu in the top right corner. This allows you to easily change the repository while running queries as well as importing and exporting data in other views.

  

Make it a default repository¶

Use the pin to select it as a default repository.

Edit a repository¶

To edit or download the repository configuration as a turtle file, copy its URL, or delete it, use the icons next to its name.
