Simple PROLOG issue: How do you test multiple queries against your Prolog database?

问题

I have a Prolog database file (test_inserts.p) that I used to insert all my data.

I also have a Prolog query file (test_queries.pl) that has all of the Prolog queries I wrote up to receive specific information from my database.

I was wondering how to actually use the test_queries.pl queries against my test_inserts.p database file when using gprolog? I was hoping there would be a way to load both at the same time, and somehow be able to command which query to run, instead of having to re-type each query that I wanted to run....

回答1:

I've used initialization/1 ISO directive in test_queries.pl to get the effect you see at bottom.

test_queries.pl

test :-
        findall(_, (a(X,Y), format('~w ~w~n', [X,Y])), _).

:- initialization([test_inserts]).
:- initialization(test).

test_inserts.pl

a(X,Y) :- append(X,Y,[1,2,3]).

then call gprolog with --consult-file

gprolog --consult-file test_queries.pl
