Stian Soiland-Reyes commented on JENA-890:
------------------------------------------
-1 to remove it all together.
I would still consider it as a useful tool when developing a query - you think
you have made the right query, but it's hard to inspect thousands of result
rows by hand, and so putting together some stats in the Pivot table can help
you check that.
There should be many warnings.. for instance using a Pivot table together with
a query with LIMIT is a bit pointless. Neither Table nor Pivot tabs work when
you do a non-SELECT query.
Perhaps a simple instruction text also could help, like "To check correlation
between variables, drag one of them to the column box, and the other one to the
rows box. Drag the value to show to the center box (the default is a count of
of matching triples). For instance, with a query like "SELECT ?age ?based_near
?gender { WHERE { ... } }", to find the average ?age per ?based_near, drag
?based_near to the rows box, drag ?age to the centre, and select AVERAGE as the
function. To split the numbers by gender, drag ?gender to the colunns box. This
should give you a table with two columns 'male' and 'female', one row per
?based_near location, and table data containing the average age of those
combinations"

> Key: JENA-890
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-890
> Project: Apache Jena
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Fuseki
> Affects Versions: Fuseki 2.0.0
> Reporter: Ian Dickinson
>
> The SPARQL query tab on the Fuseki2 interface has an option in the results
> pane labelled 'pivot table'. It's very, very unclear what this does. It
> appears to be an experimental feature of some kind, but it does not provide a
> clear, discoverable user experience. In fact, after playing with it for some
> minutes, I still can't figure out what it is actually for.
> I suggest that either the UX of this feature is radically improved, or we
> remove it from Fuseki2 until it is ready for wider exposure.
