Instance Method Details

#evaluate(bindings, **options) ⇒ RDF::Term

The COALESCE function form returns the RDF term value of the first expression that evaluates without error. In SPARQL, evaluating an unbound variable raises an error.

If none of the arguments evaluates to an RDF term, an error is raised. If no expressions are evaluated without error, an error is raised.

Examples:

Suppose ?x = 2 and ?y is not bound in some query solution:

  COALESCE(?x, 1/0) #=> 2, the value of x
  COALESCE(1/0, ?x) #=> 2
  COALESCE(5, ?x) #=> 5
  COALESCE(?y, 3) #=> 3
  COALESCE(?y) #=> raises an error because y is not bound.

Parameters:

  • bindings (RDF::Query::Solution) —

    a query solution containing zero or more variable bindings

  • options (Hash{Symbol => Object}) —

    ({}) options passed from query

Returns:

Raises:

  • (TypeError) —

    if none of the operands succeeds
