Similar to the [`pyarrow.write_dataset()`](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.dataset.write_dataset.html) method, LanceDB's
[`db.create_table()`](python.md/#lancedb.db.DBConnection.create_table) accepts data in a variety of forms.

LanceDB supports [Polars](https://github.com/pola-rs/polars), a blazingly fast DataFrame library for Python written in Rust. Just like in Pandas, the Polars integration is enabled by PyArrow under the hood. A deeper integration between Lance Tables and Polars DataFrames is in progress, but at the moment, you can read a Polars DataFrame into LanceDB and output the search results from a query to a Polars DataFrame.
## Create & Query LanceDB Table
### From Polars DataFrame
First, we connect to a LanceDB database.

db = lancedb.connect("data/polars-lancedb")

query = [3.0, 4.0]
result = table.search(query).limit(1).to_polars()
