Hugh, thanks for your answer.
My virtuoso version is: Virtuoso Open Source Edition (multi threaded) Version 6.1.3.3127-pthreads as of Aug 1 2011 Compiled for Linux (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1998-2011 OpenLink Software In the meantime, I could resolve problem deleting a whole graph and everything works as expected. Currently I automated the process using this small isql-file (so luckily these are the steps to solve my problem): sparql drop silent graph <URI>; delete from db.dba.load_list where ll_graph like '%URI%'; ld_dir_all ('/usr/local/virtuoso-opensource/load','*','URI'); rdf_loader_run (); For the second problem I still have no idea how to do this: I will need to update and delete triples selectively by subject-URI. I will probably get the updates as a RDF-File containing the updated triples for some of the stored RDF-Resources and the deletes as a separate file (e.g. a list of URIs). Is there a sensible way to do that?
