<mhausenblas> ISSUE-22?

<trackbot> ISSUE-22 -- Support for database vendor specific SQL statements. -- raised

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/track/issues/22

Issue-22

Souri: The statements are not parsed

Richard: What is a SQL string?
... We agree that vendor extension should be supported

<dmcneil> +q

<ericP> we don't necessarily undermine the utility of R2RML if we only define the behavior over SQL 2008

Richard: maybe say nothing about this ... depends on the implementation ... impl says what it supports

<ericP> that won't prevent folks who understand how it would behave from applying this to other dialects

Richard: You want an indication on the SQL-string saying it is not std SQL

<Souri> rr:SQLCompatibililty rr:Core2008 ?

<Souri> +1 to Richard

Souri: Blank nodes are like local variables

<Souri> local to a graph, that is

Souri: I can clarify in the spec

... can we say it is always cast to a string

<dmcneil> +q

Souri: String version of column value is used ... user can specify differently
