Re: SPARQL query - Construct

or better LET ( ?var := ... ) right? ;-)
                      ^^

This is great, so I can use

SELECT DISTINCT(?dt) WHERE {
?s ?p ?o .
LET (?dt := datatype(?o))
}

to get a simple list of all datatypes used for typed literals, at  
least when using ARQ Syntax.

good hint, thanks
