VectorDatabaseObject[…]

represents a vector database, as created by CreateVectorDatabase.

VectorDatabaseObject[source]

attempts to recreate a VectorDatabaseObject from source.

Details and Options

  • VectorDatabaseObject represents a vector database instance, allowing interaction with and management of the stored vectors.
  • Returned by CreateVectorDatabase, this symbolic object enables common database management operations such as adding data, searching and listing content and properties.
  • Database properties can be accessed via VectorDatabaseObject[…]["prop"].
  • The following properties are supported:
  • "Dimensions"number of arrays stored and array size
    "DistanceFunction"distance function used
    "ID"database ID
    "Location"where the database is stored
    "Metadata"metadata associated with each vector
    "Vectors"vectors stored in the database
    "WorkingPrecision"numerical precision for storage and computation
    {prop1,…}a list of properties
  • Possible values of source include:
  • File[…]a local file
    LocalObject[…]a local object
    CloudObject[…]a cloud object
  • The following options can be specified:
  • OverwriteTargetAutomaticwhether to overwrite an existing location
    GeneratedAssetLocation $GeneratedAssetLocationwhere to save the database
