This should be dependent on datomic lib version, not storage type

lib version? where is that found ? we use cloud db for production

how do you create a mem db with cloud?

you dont .. you use one or the other. looks like dev-local has some thing dev-local-tu for doing test like things where you blow away the db around each test, which is what we want. but i think mem-db does not support tuple

AFAIK before dev-local there were no mem-dbs with cloud

so I’m not sure what you are doing

if you use a peer-server with on-prem you could do it, but that depends on the peer lib’s version. There was also this: https://github.com/ComputeSoftware/datomic-client-memdb

that the one we using, but we just run that locally , when on prod using cloud db , we switch between one and the other

so, that depends on an on-prem lib, and that on-prem lib’s version is what’s dictating whether tuples are supported or not (most likely)

I’m just saying there’s more to the story than “mem-db -> no tuple types”

on-prem 0.9.5927 added tuples: https://docs.datomic.com/on-prem/changes.html#0.9.5927

clojure.core/list isn’t needed--you are already quoting

Thanks, sorry I copied and modified this from my code where I wasn't quoting

this is generally how you do it; it’s going to be difficult to diagnose your problem without a complete example. You could try simplifying the query with specific data to see what’s going wrong. e.g.:

(d/q '[:find ?e
       :where
       (or
         (and
          [?e :child-element-key ?ste]
          [(.contains ^java.lang.String ?ste "value")]))]
     [[1 :child-element-key "value1"]
      [2 :child-element-key "nope"]])
=> #{[1]}

Ok thanks, I wasn't sure if I was completely off base, probably an issue in my data then. Thank you!

Yes definitely was a problem in the data, thanks for the help though!
