+## Documentation
+
+The open-source pages of [docs.lancedb.com](https://docs.lancedb.com) live in
+`docs/web`, so a change to behaviour and the change to the page describing it
+belong in the same pull request.
+
+Preview them locally — this serves `docs/web` on its own, with no other checkout:
+
+```bash
+npm i -g mint      # https://mintlify.com/docs/installation
+cd docs/web && mint dev
+```
+
+This repository holds a page at every path the site publishes, so the whole
+navigation resolves locally. Enterprise pages exist here as open-source pages --
+what the capability is, and what the embedded form does instead. A separate
+private repository supplies the fuller version of each, which replaces the page
+at the same path when the published site is assembled.
+
+Four things to know before editing:
+
+**Code examples are not written into the pages.** They live in real tests under
+`docs/web-tests/{py,ts,rs}`, are extracted into `docs/web/snippets/`, and are
+imported by the pages. Edit the test, then regenerate from the repository root:
+
+```bash
+uv run docs/web-tests/mdx_snippets_gen.py -s docs/web-tests/py -s docs/web-tests/ts -s docs/web-tests/rs -o docs/web/snippets
+```
+
+Review the diff before committing: a few modules currently regenerate with
+unrelated changes, so commit only the snippets for the examples you changed.
+
+Run the Python, TypeScript and Rust examples in `docs/web-tests/{py,ts,rs}`
+locally before submitting the change. These examples are not yet wired into
+pull-request CI; that integration remains follow-up work.
+
+**Every heading carries an explicit `{#anchor}`.** Those anchors are how the
+Enterprise pages attach their additions to the right section, so they are
+assigned once and never regenerated. Leave an existing anchor alone even when
+you reword the heading above it; only new headings need a new one.
+
+**A page can declare where it applies.** Its frontmatter says whether LanceDB
+OSS and LanceDB Enterprise support the feature: use only `available` or
+`unavailable`, and one sentence that explains its scope. Availability describes
+product support, not whether a particular deployment has enabled or configured
+the feature. A supported feature stays `available` when it requires setup, a
+supported SDK or server version, or has differences between offerings. State
+those requirements in the summary or the relevant section, including unsupported
+subfeatures. Do not use `varies`, infer support from an unknown status, or mark an
+absent capability available. Narrow a page to the capability it actually covers
+when necessary. For example:
+
+```yaml
+availability:
+  oss: unavailable
+  enterprise: available
+  summary: >-
+    Requests to a deployment carry an API key or an OAuth token. Embedded
+    LanceDB has no server to sign in to.
+```
+
+The assembled site renders this as a label above the page's content and as a
+sidebar tag when only one offering has the feature. Do not also open the page
+with a badge of its own, and keep a qualification that only one section needs
+in that section's text. A `mint dev` preview of `docs/web` alone renders
+neither the labels nor the tags.
+
+**A feature can be documented before its release.** List a draft page in
+`docs/web/.mintignore`, keep it out of the navigation in `docs.json`, and do not
+link to it from published pages. Wrap a draft section in an MDX comment,
+`{/* ... */}`, whose first line names the release, such as
+`Draft for the Feature X release.` Keep draft table rows and list items in a
+comment below the table or list, since a comment between rows or items breaks
+it. Drafts are hidden from readers but stay in the source, and availability does
+not change what is published. At release, remove the comments and the
+`.mintignore` entries, and restore the navigation and links. See
+[Writing docs before release](https://github.com/lancedb/docs#writing-docs-before-release)
+in the documentation repository's README for previews and release checks.

+```
+
+Reads from the cursor and advances the cursor.
+
+Reads to the end when `maxBytes` is omitted, or at most `maxBytes` bytes
+otherwise. Returns an empty buffer at the end of the blob.

+[@lancedb/lancedb](../globals.md) / OAuthSession
+
+# Class: OAuthSession
+
+Explicit OAuth session lifecycle for the persistent token cache: eager
+`login`, non-secret `status`, and local `logout`.
+
+A session is built from the same [OAuthConfig](../interfaces/OAuthConfig.md) used to connect
+(including its `tokenCache` options). A connection created with the same
+configuration shares the cache, so logging in here prepares tokens for
+later processes without any database request.
+
+`login` always runs the configured interactive flow and replaces the cached
+session (the most recent login wins). `logout` removes only the local
+credential; it does not revoke anything with the provider and does not sign
+out of a browser SSO session.
+
+## Example
+
+```typescript
+const config: OAuthConfig = {
+  issuerUrl: "https://issuer.example.com",
+  clientId: "my-app",
+  scopes: ["openid", "offline_access"],
+  flow: OAuthFlowType.DeviceCode,
+  tokenCache: { cacheDir: "/tmp/my-app/oauth-cache" },
+};
+const session = new OAuthSession(config);
+const status = await session.login();
+```
+
+## Constructors
+
+### new OAuthSession()
+
+```ts
+new OAuthSession(config): OAuthSession
+```
+
+Create a session manager for the given OAuth configuration.
+
+#### Parameters
+
+* **config**: [`OAuthConfig`](../interfaces/OAuthConfig.md)
+
+#### Returns
+
+[`OAuthSession`](OAuthSession.md)
+
+## Methods
+
+### login()
+
+```ts
+login(): Promise<SessionStatus>
+```
+
+Eagerly run the configured authentication flow and store the session.
+
+A successful login always replaces any prior cached session for this
+identity; if the provider does not issue a refresh token (for example
+without `offline_access`), the previous record is removed and the status
+reports `refreshable == false`.
+
+#### Returns
+
+`Promise`&lt;[`SessionStatus`](../interfaces/SessionStatus.md)&gt;
+
+***
+
+### logout()
+
+```ts
+logout(): Promise<SessionLogout>
+```
+
+Remove the matching local cached credential.
+
+This only deletes the local cache entry. It does not revoke the refresh
+token with the provider and does not sign out of a browser SSO session.
+Repeated calls succeed; `removed` reports whether a credential existed.

+#### Returns

+
+All principals have an immutable ID which never changes, and is safe to include
+in log files. For example, the API key
+`sk_AAAQEAYEAUDAOCAJBIFQYDIOB4IBCEQTCQKRMFYYDENBWHA5DYPQ====` maps to the
+principal ID `pk_aaaqeayeaudaocajbifqydiob4`. APIs such as `list_acls` will
+return the principal ID, never the API key.
+
+OpenID principals also typically have a human-readable name associated with
+them. For example, a principal might be named `bob@example.com` and might have
+a principal ID of `8a004400-9443-4fab-9997-b9372a7ca8fd`. Whenever
+possible, APIs will return the principal name for convenience. However,
+principal names are mutable and can be changed by the identity provider.
+
+Here is an example of getting information about an API key:
+```python
+from lancedb.authz import Subject
+
+catalog = lancedb.connect_catalog("https://catalog.example.com", api_key=api_key)
+principal = catalog.authz.get_principal(Subject.principal_api_key(api_key))
+print(f"Found principal {principal.principal_id}")
+```
+
+OpenID principals can be members of groups. Like principals, groups also have
+IDs and human-readable names. It is not possible to modify group membership via
+this API; it is managed by the OpenID identity provider.
+
+Here is an example of getting information about a group based on its name:
+```python
+from lancedb.authz import Subject
+
+catalog = lancedb.connect_catalog("https://catalog.example.com", api_key=api_key)
+group = catalog.authz.get_group(Subject.group_name("Engineering"))
+print(f"Found group {group.group_id} with name {group.group_name}")
+```
+
+Roles can contain either principals or groups. Unlike groups, they are managed
+by the catalog, not the identity provider. Roles can also contain API key
+principals.
+
+Here is an example of managing the `reader` role:
+```python
+from lancedb.authz import Subject
+
+catalog = lancedb.connect_catalog("https://catalog.example.com", api_key=api_key)
+catalog.authz.add_role_binding(subject=Subject.principal_name("Alice"), role="reader")
+```
+It may take a few milliseconds for changes to role bindings to become visible
+to all clients.
+
+More subject types may be added in the future.
+
+### Objects
+
+An object is any resource in the system that we can attach authorization rules to.
+The Python builders and Rust client share resource validation and wire encoding.
+Methods also accept literal strings such as `table:tenant/db:public$events`;
+malformed names for known resource types raise `ValueError` locally before a
+request is sent. Unknown resource types are preserved for compatibility with
+newer servers.
+
+Object types include:
+
+The System object, a singleton which represents the entire system. You can
+refer to it as `Object.system()`.
+
+Database objects which represents specific databases. For example,
+`Object.database("analytics")` represents the "analytics" database.
+
+Table objects which represent specific tables. For example,
+`Object.table(database="analytics", name="events")` represents the "events"
+table inside the "analytics" database. Tables are in the default namespace (which
+is named "public") unless a specific namespace is given.
+
+Similarly, View objects represent specific views. For example,
+`Object.view(database="analytics", name="recent_events")` represents the
+"recent_events" view inside the "analytics" database. Views are in the default
+namespace (which is named "public") unless a specific namespace is given.
+
+Secret objects identify named credentials, for example,
+`Object.secret(database="analytics", name="api-key")`. Function objects identify
+registered functions, for example,
+`Object.function(database="analytics", name="caption")`. Both default to the
+`public` namespace. Pass `namespace_path=["platform", "ml"]` to select a nested
+namespace. These objects identify resources for ACL operations; a secret object
+contains the credential's name, not its value.
+
+More object types may be added in the future.
+
+### Access control lists
+
+An access control list attaches a specific set of privileges to a specific
+(subject, object) pair. So, for example, we might have an access control list
+that gives `bob@example.com` the ability to read the foo table, that looks like
+this:
+
+```python
+from lancedb.authz import Object, Subject, Privilege
+
+catalog = lancedb.connect_catalog("https://catalog.example.com", api_key=api_key)
+catalog.authz.add_acl(
+    object=Object.table(database="analytics", name="foo"),
+    subject=Subject.principal_name("bob@example.com"),
+    privilege=Privilege.SELECT,
+)
+```
+
+Reading a table generally requires USAGE on its database and namespace, plus
+SELECT on the table. Each object has at most one owner.
+
+OWNERSHIP is a special privilege which grants all the other privileges. By
+default, the principal who created an object owns it. Only one subject can own
+an object; granting OWNERSHIP to a new subject removes it from the previous
+owner. OWNERSHIP cannot be deleted.
+
+To delegate secret or function creation, grant `CREATE_SECRET` or
+`CREATE_FUNCTION` on the containing namespace. This preserves namespace ownership:
+
+```python
+for privilege in [Privilege.CREATE_SECRET, Privilege.CREATE_FUNCTION]:
+    catalog.authz.add_acl(
+        object=Object.namespace(database="analytics", namespace_path=["public"]),
+        subject=Subject.role("developer"),
+        privilege=privilege,
+    )
+```
+
+Both privileges also accept their string names in synchronous and asynchronous
+ACL methods.
+
+By default, the `list_acls` function lists all the access control entries in
+the system. By adding a function parameter, the output is filtered to just ACLs
+matching that parameter. For example, this code lists all the ACLs for the
+"reader" role:
+
+```python
+from lancedb.authz import Subject
+
+catalog = lancedb.connect_catalog("https://catalog.example.com", api_key=api_key)
+for entry in catalog.authz.list_acls(subject=Subject.role("reader")):
+    print(entry)
+```
+
+Or, when using the async API:
+```python
+catalog = await lancedb.connect_catalog_async(endpoint, api_key=api_key)
+async for entry in catalog.authz.list_acls(subject=Subject.role("reader")):
+    print(entry)
+```

+
+reranker = TypeSafeReranker(batch_size=40, max_concurrency=8)
+```
+
+The default `batch_size=1` keeps the query and document in request state and
+sends one request per non-null candidate. With `batch_size=40`, 80 non-null
+candidates require two requests. `max_concurrency` still limits simultaneous
+requests, and the SDK handles retries.
+
+In batched mode, state contains only `{"query": query}`. Each independent
+question contains `{"question": instructions, "document": document}` in its
+structured instructions, so it sees only its own document and the shared query.
+Custom instructions and criteria are kept verbatim: adapt prompts that explicitly
+reference request-state fields such as `state.document` before enabling batching.
+Null documents retain a zero score without an API call; empty strings are scored.
+API failures, mismatched answer IDs, and invalid probabilities raise errors.
+Batching changes the payload and can affect model scores; compare quality and
+latency on your workload before opting in.

+Registering a Function and filling its column need a LanceDB Enterprise
+deployment, so `test_function_enterprise` runs only when
+LANCEDB_DOCS_TEST_DEPLOYMENT=1 asks for one, with the connection variables the
+Enterprise examples already use: LANCEDB_URI, LANCEDB_API_KEY and
+LANCEDB_HOST_OVERRIDE, plus LANCEDB_REGION if the deployment needs one. The
+walkthrough calls its table `function_demo` and its Function `double`; the test
+creates both under names unique to its run, never replaces an existing object,
+and drops only what it created.
+
+The other tests run locally and check the client side of the same code: what
+`@udf` sends for registration, how a registered version binds a column, where a
+local connection stops, and when the Enterprise test connects. They do not run
+a Function remotely.

+description: "Use LanceDB branches to isolate agent-driven experiments from main, evaluate them on a fixed test set, and promote only the winner."
+icon: "flask"
+keywords: ["AI agents", "branches", "experiments", "embeddings", "evaluation"]
+---
+
+LanceDB supports [branching](/tables/branching) to isolate experiments from the main table when working with agents.
+Branches are useful when you instruct an agent to try several approaches without
+affecting the production data on the `main` branch.
+Each experiment gets its own writable table history.
+
+For example, you can generate and compare embeddings from two text embedding
+models on the given table:
+
+| Branch | Model | Added column |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `embed-minilm` | `sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2` | `vector_minilm` |
+| `embed-nomic` | `nomic-embed-text` from Ollama | `vector_nomic` |
+
+The branches share a logical table, but each has its own schema and history.
+The original table handle still points to `main`. LanceDB does not have a
+process-wide current branch.
+
+Install the model packages, then download the `nomic-embed-text` model from Ollama
+(or any other model you prefer):
+
+```bash
+uv add sentence-transformers ollama
+ollama pull nomic-embed-text
+```
+
+It's always recommended to measure the results of an experiment on a fixed evaluation set.
+Here's an example of how you could ask the agent to run both experiments and compare the results:
+
+```text Agent prompt
+Use the lancedb plugin and the LanceDB branching documentation to compare two
+embedding experiments on the `camelot_multimodal` table.
+
+1. Fork `embed-minilm` from `main`. Build normalized embeddings from
+   `"{role}. {description}"` with
+   `sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2` and add them as `vector_minilm`.
+2. Fork `embed-nomic` from `main`. Embed the identical text with Ollama
+   `nomic-embed-text` and add the results as `vector_nomic`.
+3. Process rows in batches and write only through each branch-scoped table
+   handle. Verify that neither new column appears on `main`.
+4. Evaluate both branches with the queries "wise magical advisor",
+   "treacherous rebel", and "virtuous Grail knight". Report the top three names,
+   latency, and whether the expected character ranks first.
+5. Do not modify `main` and do not delete either branch. Recommend a winner
+   based on the results.
+```
+
+<Note>
+The vector dimensions may differ because the columns live on separate branches.
+Use a different column name for each model. Within an experiment, use the same
+model for the stored text and the search queries.
+</Note>
+
+## Apply the winning experiment to `main` {#apply-the-winning-experiment-to-main}
+
+The branch experiments leave you with the results side by side, and they
+deliberately never touch `main`. Once you've picked a winner, apply it to
+`main` yourself by rerunning that experiment's validated transformation
+directly against the `main` table. Rerunning the reviewed operation is the
+reliable path on both OSS and Enterprise: it replays exactly the transformation
+you validated on the branch, and it works the same regardless of how the branch
+evolved.
+
+Suppose `nomic-embed-text` wins. Rerun the same Nomic embedding transformation
+you validated on `embed-nomic` against `main` in batches, then call
+`table.optimize()` on OSS. Verify a bounded vector search on `main`, and keep
+the losing branch around until you're confident in the result.
+
+See [Branches](/tables/branching) for more on how branches, versions, and tags
+relate.
+
+## More experiments you can run {#more-experiments-you-can-run}
+
+Swapping embedding models on a branch while working with agents is only one example
+of what you can do with the LanceDB plugin. The table below shows other experiments
+you can run with the plugin.
+
+| Hypothesis | Change on the branch | What to evaluate |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| A different embedding model improves retrieval | Add a new vector column | Recall, ranking quality, latency, and cost |
+| A new parser or OCR model improves source data | Reprocess files and backfill metadata | Validation failures and a reviewed sample |
+| A new search setup works better | Build an index or change hybrid-search and reranking settings | Relevance and latency on a fixed query set |
+| A curation rule improves the corpus | Deduplicate, classify, or filter records | False positives, false negatives, and row counts |
+| A migration is safe to deploy | Add columns or run a backfill | Schema compatibility and application checks |
+
+For each experiment, ask the agent to state the hypothesis, use a fixed
+evaluation set, report the comparison, and, if you want, work on an alternate
+branch that's isolated from `main` until you decide you want the new derived
+column in `main`.
+
+Once you've chosen a winner, rerun that validated transformation to ingest it into `main`
+yourself, on either LanceDB OSS or Enterprise. See our documentation on [branches](/tables/branching)
+for more information.

+title: REST API Reference
+sidebarTitle: "Overview"
+description: "API reference for LanceDB"
+
+---
+
+[Lance REST Namespace](https://lance.org/format/namespace/) spec
+is an OpenAPI protocol that enables reading, writing and managing Lance tables by connecting
+those metadata services or building a custom metadata server in a standardized way.
+
+LanceDB OSS allows you to interface with Lance tables via the REST Namespace.
+LanceDB Enterprise provides an extended REST API with
+additional endpoints for managing tables and data.
+If you have specific needs or questions about the Enterprise REST API Namespace,
+please [contact us](mailto:support@lancedb.com).
+
+## Authentication {#authentication}
+
+<Badge color="red">Enterprise</Badge>
+
+All HTTP requests to LanceDB APIs must contain an <u>x-api-key</u> header that specifies a valid API key and
+must be encoded as JSON or Arrow RPC.
+
+To authenticate to the Enterprise REST API, you need the endpoint for your deployment and a valid API key for that deployment.
+
+### Get your Enterprise credentials {#get-your-enterprise-credentials}
+
+1. Obtain the following values from your LanceDB administrator or the LanceDB team that provisioned your Enterprise deployment:
+   - an API key
+   - your Enterprise REST endpoint
+   - your database name, if your deployment uses a private endpoint or `host_override`
+
+2. Export those values in your terminal:
+
+```bash
+export LANCEDB_API_KEY="<your-api-key>"
+export LANCEDB_HOST_OVERRIDE="https://your-enterprise-endpoint.com"
+export LANCEDB_DATABASE="your-database-name"
+```
+
+`LANCEDB_HOST_OVERRIDE` is the endpoint the SDKs take as `host_override`; the
+database name is the part of its `db://` URI after `db://`.
+
+3. If your Enterprise deployment is private, connect through the private network endpoint provided for your deployment. For example, Azure Private Link deployments commonly use a private IP or an internal DNS name as the endpoint.
+
+### Verify authentication {#verify-authentication}
+
+4. Check that you can reach the deployment and list tables:
+
+```bash
+curl -X GET "$LANCEDB_HOST_OVERRIDE/v1/table/" \
+   -H "x-api-key: $LANCEDB_API_KEY" \
+   -H "x-lancedb-database: $LANCEDB_DATABASE"
+```
+
+The response lists one page of table names, with a token for the next page when
+there are more.
+
+If your deployment endpoint already includes the database host name, you can omit the `x-lancedb-database` header.
+
+5. Create a table to confirm write access. Let's call it `words`. A table is
+created from an Arrow IPC stream, which this writes with PyArrow:
+
+```bash
+python -c "import pyarrow as pa, sys; t = pa.table({'word': ['hello', 'world']}); w = pa.ipc.new_stream(sys.stdout.buffer, t.schema); w.write_table(t); w.close()" > words.arrow
+
+curl -X POST "$LANCEDB_HOST_OVERRIDE/v1/table/words/create" \
+   -H "Content-Type: application/vnd.apache.arrow.stream" \
+   -H "x-api-key: $LANCEDB_API_KEY" \
+   -H "x-lancedb-database: $LANCEDB_DATABASE" \
+   --data-binary @words.arrow
+```
+
+6. Check that the table has been created:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST "$LANCEDB_HOST_OVERRIDE/v1/table/words/describe" \
+   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+   -H "x-api-key: $LANCEDB_API_KEY" \
+   -H "x-lancedb-database: $LANCEDB_DATABASE" \
+   -d '{}'
+```
+
+That's it -- you're connected! Now, you can start adding data and querying it.
+You can visit the tutorial section to build your own applications with LanceDB.

+
+LanceDB OSS is an embedded library for working with Lance tables. LanceDB
+Enterprise is a multimodal lakehouse for data curation, feature engineering,
+search, and training data access. Its architecture separates query serving,
+read execution, caching, and background work. Both use the open
+[Lance](/basics/lance) format.
+
+Teams can curate datasets, derive features, search multimodal records, and
+read the resulting tables into training frameworks. Enterprise separates the
+resources that serve shared data from those that build indexes and run
+background work, so teams can size them for these different workloads.
+
+![LanceDB OSS runs the application and embedded library in one process, using local disk or object storage. Enterprise applications connect to query serving, with separate read execution and caching, indexing and background workers, and durable object storage. Both use the Lance format, but they do not share a storage location automatically.](/static/assets/images/overview/lancedb-architecture.svg)

+## A shared format, different storage choices {#storage}
+
+Lance stores table data, versions, and indexes. OSS can read and write tables on
+local disk or in object storage. Enterprise keeps durable table data and index
+artifacts in object storage, independently of the machines serving requests.
+Its caches accelerate reads; they are not the durable source of truth.
+
+Sharing a format does not mean that an Enterprise deployment automatically
+opens an existing OSS database. Plan how to move or connect your data and
+configure access for your deployment.
+
+## OSS: an embedded library inside your application {#embedded}
+
+With an embedded connection, the LanceDB library plans and executes queries,
+builds indexes, and updates tables inside your process. There is no separate
+database server to deploy.
+
+This fits local retrieval applications, notebooks, development, and
+single-node data pipelines. Your application controls the compute resources and
+when to run [table maintenance](/maintenance/compaction). You also manage access
+to the local files or object storage that hold your tables.
+
+## Enterprise: a multimodal lakehouse for shared workloads {#distributed}
+
+Applications connect to remote tables through a LanceDB SDK. The service handles
+requests across a fleet, with components sized for different kinds of work:
+
+- **Query serving** receives requests, resolves tables, and plans operations.
+  Add serving capacity as more applications and users depend on your data.
+- **Read execution and caching** use separately provisioned resources. Executors
+  cache table data to reduce repeated reads from object storage.
+- **Indexing and background workers** build indexes and perform maintenance
+  outside the query request path. Size this work separately from query serving
+  as your data grows.
+
+The control plane manages configuration, identity, policy, and cluster
+lifecycle. It governs the service rather than executing table queries.
+[Authorization](/governance/authorization) lets teams control access to catalog
+objects when enabled and configured by the administrator. Deployment settings govern background
+[compaction](/maintenance/compaction) and
+[cleanup](/maintenance/cleanup), including retention.
+
+These boundaries support different parts of an AI data workflow.
+[SQL curation](/curation) requires a deployment with SQL enabled.
+[Feature engineering](/feature-engineering) can produce derived columns and
+tables; computed columns and materialized views require a deployment that
+enables them. [Geneva](/geneva) runs distributed Python feature backfills while
+its capabilities continue to transition to LanceDB APIs.
+[Training data loaders](/training/data-loading) read tables into model training
+frameworks in both offerings. LanceDB provides data access for training; the
+training framework runs the model.
+
+Size and monitor each tier for your workload. Read the
+[Enterprise architecture](/enterprise/architecture) for the component details
+and request flows.
+
+## Application changes for Enterprise {#differences}
+
+Core operations remain familiar: create a table, add data, and run a search.
+With OSS, the application executes those operations. With Enterprise, the SDK
+sends requests to the service, and the service manages execution and configured
+background maintenance.
+
+To use Enterprise, configure the cluster endpoint, database URI and credentials,
+and make your data available in the Enterprise database. Review SDK methods
+that behave differently on remote tables, including result retrieval and
+background jobs. [Moving to LanceDB Enterprise](/basics/sdk#moving-to-enterprise)
+describes these application changes. If you plan to use materialized views, check the
+[stable row ID requirements](/basics/limits#schema) before creating source tables.
+
+## Choose for the workload you need to run {#choosing}
+
+Choose OSS when you want an embedded library and can manage its resources and
+maintenance in your application.
+
+Choose Enterprise when multiple applications or teams need a shared multimodal
+lakehouse for curation, feature engineering, search, and training data access.
+It also fits workloads whose query and indexing demand grow at different rates,
+or that need configured service-level access controls and background operations.
+You can begin with Enterprise.

+deployment options, and the path from your existing data to Enterprise.

+
+A coding agent writing LanceDB code from memory writes whatever was in its
+training data -- often an older API, sometimes one that never existed. The
+LanceDB agent plugin fixes that by supplying the current reference at the point
+the agent needs it.
+
+## The plugin {#plugin}
+
+It ships as the `lancedb` plugin in
+the [lancedb-agent-plugins](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb-agent-plugins)
+repository, which is also a plugin marketplace. Install it with your agent's
+plugin manager:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```text Claude Code
+/plugin marketplace add lancedb/lancedb-agent-plugins
+/plugin install lancedb@lancedb
+```
+
+```bash Codex icon="terminal"
+codex plugin marketplace add lancedb/lancedb-agent-plugins
+codex plugin add lancedb@lancedb
+```
+
+```bash Other agents icon="terminal"
+npx plugins add lancedb/lancedb-agent-plugins
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+The [`plugins`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/plugins) installer shown under
+**Other agents** is a cross-tool option. It detects which agent CLIs are on your
+`PATH` — Cursor, GitHub Copilot CLI, VS Code, Grok Build, and Kimi Code, as well
+as Claude Code and Codex — and installs through each one's native plugin system.
+
+The plugin supplements the agent's training data with current LanceDB
+instructions. To pick up later revisions, refresh the marketplace:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```text Claude Code
+/plugin marketplace update lancedb
+```
+
+```bash Codex icon="terminal"
+codex plugin marketplace upgrade
+```
+
+```bash Other agents icon="terminal"
+npx plugins add lancedb/lancedb-agent-plugins
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Accordion title="Where the plugin gets installed">
+Each plugin manager clones the repository, reads its marketplace manifest to find
+the `lancedb` plugin, and hands the plugin to the agent's own plugin store rather
+than copying files into your project. Claude Code and Codex keep it under
+`~/.claude/plugins` and `~/.codex/plugins` respectively, so the plugin is available
+in every project on the machine.
+
+The `npx plugins` installer defaults to the same user-wide scope. Pass
+`--scope project` to record the plugin in the current repository instead, so that
+everyone working in it gets the same plugin, or `-t <target>` to install for a
+single agent rather than every one it detects:
+
+```bash
+npx plugins add lancedb/lancedb-agent-plugins --scope project -t cursor
+```
+
+Not every agent supports project scope; `npx plugins targets` lists what it
+found and what each target supports.

+
+### Get started with the LanceDB agent plugin {#get-started-with-the-lancedb-agent-plugin}
+
+This tutorial uses the Camelot dataset from the [quickstart](/quickstart), with
+a portrait added for each character. Each LanceDB row contains validated
+metadata and raw JPEG bytes. Text, images, and any embeddings you add later
+remain in the same table.
+
+### 1\. Download the multimodal dataset {#1-download-the-multimodal-dataset}
+
+From a new project directory, download the JSON file and portraits:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p data/img
+
+BASE_URL="https://docs.lancedb.com/static/assets/tutorials/build-with-ai-agents/camelot/data"
+curl -fsSL "$BASE_URL/camelot.json" -o data/camelot.json
+
+for image in \
+  arthur.jpg \
+  guinevere.jpg \
+  merlin.jpg \
+  mordred.jpg \
+  sir_galahad.jpg \
+  sir_gawain.jpg \
+  sir_lancelot.jpg \
+  sir_percival.jpg
+do
+  curl -fsSL "$BASE_URL/img/$image" -o "data/img/$image"
+done
+```
+
+Each JSON record has this shape:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": 2,
+  "name": "Merlin",
+  "role": "Wizard and Advisor",
+  "description": "A powerful wizard and prophet who mentors Arthur.",
+  "stats": {
+    "strength": 2,
+    "courage": 4,
+    "magic": 5,
+    "wisdom": 5
+  },
+  "img": "data/img/merlin.jpg"
+}
+```
+
+JSON input may have missing fields, unexpected fields, or values of the wrong
+type. The LanceDB plugin tells the agent to validate each record with strict
+Pydantic models before writing it.
+
+After the agent writes the pipeline, inspect the schema, batching, and write
+path rather than assuming it followed the plugin's guidance correctly.
+
+### 2\. Prompt your agent to build the pipeline {#2-prompt-your-agent-to-build-the-pipeline}
+
+Install the Python packages used by the example:
+
+```bash icon="terminal"
+uv init
+uv add lancedb pyarrow pydantic
+```
+
+If you're using LanceDB Enterprise, ask the agent to ingest into an Enterprise table,
+provide the relevant environment variables for connecting to your Enterprise deployment
+in a local `.env` file, and point the agent to it.
+
+```text .env
+LANCEDB_URI=db://your_project_name
+LANCEDB_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
+LANCEDB_REGION=us-east-1
+LANCEDB_HOST_OVERRIDE=https://your-enterprise-endpoint.com
+```
+
+If you're using LanceDB OSS, no connection settings are required, as it runs as an
+embedded retrieval library. A simple prompt like this should work:
+
+```text Agent prompt
+# If using OSS
+Use the lancedb plugin to ingest the dataset in `data/` into a LanceDB
+OSS table.
+
+# If using enterprise
+Use the lancedb plugin to ingest the dataset in `data/` into a LanceDB
+Enterprise table using the connection information in `.env`.
+```
+
+Because the plugin is registered with the agent's own plugin system, the agent
+should pick it up on its own once you restart the session. If it does not,
+simply ask it to use the `lancedb` plugin in the prompt, as shown above.
+
+That should be enough! The agent will create `ingest_multimodal.py`, or similar.
+The following sections inspect the script to verify that it follows the plugin's guidance.
+
+#### Data validation {#data-validation}
+
+The plugin encourages the agent to validate each record with Pydantic before writing it.
+The agent should ideally define a schema for the table and a nested schema for the
+`stats` field.
+
+<CodeBlock filename="ingest_multimodal.py" language="Python" icon="python">
+  {PyCamelotSchema}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+In this case, our agent correctly defined `Character` and `Stats` Pydantic models
+and validated the JSON before adding it to the table.
+
+#### Batched ingestion {#batched-ingestion}
+
+Naively calling `table.add()` once per row is slow, and is considered an anti-pattern
+in LanceDB. The plugin encourages the agent to collect incoming rows into batches and
+write them with a single `table.add()` call. When you use the plugin, the agent should
+produce something like this:
+
+<CodeBlock filename="ingest_multimodal.py" language="Python" icon="python">
+  {PyCamelotBatches}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+The script calls `Character.model_validate(...)` before adding a record to the
+batch. If validation fails, that batch is never written. The function yields up
+to `batch_size` rows at a time, providing an iterable of batches for the ingestion step,
+shown next.
+
+#### Table maintenance {#table-maintenance}
+For LanceDB OSS, the plugin instructs the agent to call
+`table.optimize()` after the ingestion loop. This compacts small fragments, cleans up
+old versions according to the retention policy, and incorporates new data into indexes.
+
+<CodeBlock filename="ingest_multimodal.py" language="Python" icon="python">
+  {PyCamelotOssIngestion}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+If you're using LanceDB Enterprise, the plugin mentions that this step is not needed
+because LanceDB Enterprise handles maintenance automatically.
+
+
+<Note>
+This example dataset has only eight rows, so the default batch size writes it in
+one call. Larger inputs should still avoid single-row write commits.
+</Note>
+
+### 3\. Run the OSS pipeline {#3-run-the-oss-pipeline}
+
+```bash
+uv run python ingest_multimodal.py
+```
+
+The table now contains the validated character records and their JPEG bytes.
+Here are the first three rows:
+
+| Image | Character | Role |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| <img src="/static/assets/tutorials/build-with-ai-agents/camelot/data/img/arthur.jpg" alt="King Arthur" width="128" height="128" /> | King Arthur | King of Camelot |
+| <img src="/static/assets/tutorials/build-with-ai-agents/camelot/data/img/merlin.jpg" alt="Merlin" width="128" height="128" /> | Merlin | Wizard and Advisor |
+| <img src="/static/assets/tutorials/build-with-ai-agents/camelot/data/img/guinevere.jpg" alt="Queen Guinevere" width="128" height="128" /> | Queen Guinevere | Queen of Camelot |
+
+Once your pipeline works, you can [run experiments on branches](/agent-branch-experiments)
+to try new embedding models, parsers, or search settings without touching `main`.
+
+### Takeaways {#takeaways}
+
+The example in this tutorial was small, but similar ideas apply to other workflows, too.
+Give the agent the data source, the constraints it must respect, and the
+artifacts it should return.
+
+The plugin supplies LanceDB-specific guidance, but it's the user's responsibility to
+ensure the output makes sense for the application.
+
+### Try the plugin with your own dataset {#try-the-plugin-with-your-own-dataset}
+
+The plugin shown in this tutorial should generalize reasonably well to other use cases.
+If you find any issues, open [an issue](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb-agent-plugins/issues)
+on GitHub, clearly describing the intended behavior.
+
+You can choose OSS or Enterprise based on how the work will run:
+
+Start with [LanceDB OSS](/quickstart) during the early stages of a project
+when an agent is helping you prototype,
+explore a dataset, or run small workflows on a subset of the data. The application owns
+the storage and lifecycle work, so ask the agent to validate inputs, write in
+batches, and it will include table maintenance operations such as `optimize()`
+where appropriate.
+
+Choose [LanceDB Enterprise](/enterprise) when the resulting table becomes
+shared production infrastructure, and the workload needs distributed capacity,
+private deployment, or platform-managed operations. The data format and the core
+table API stay the same, so the pipeline's table and search code carries over:
+the agent connects to a remote `db://` table, leaves maintenance to the
+deployment instead of calling `optimize()`, and submits long-running work as
+jobs. See [Moving to LanceDB Enterprise](/basics/sdk#moving-to-enterprise).
+
+## What agents are good at here {#workflows}
+
+The walkthrough above is one pattern. The other has its own tutorial.
+
+<Columns cols={2}>
+  <Card title="Run experiments on branches" icon="flask" href="/agent-branch-experiments">
+    Isolate agent-driven experiments on a branch, evaluate them on a fixed test
+    set, and promote only the winner.
+  </Card>
+</Columns>
+
+It is the more interesting pattern. [Branches](/management/table#versioning)
+give an agent somewhere to be wrong safely: it can rewrite a schema, recompute a
+column, or try three embedding models without touching `main`, and you keep only
+what measured better.

+
+## Catalog overview {#catalog}
+
+A catalog keeps track of named data objects, such as tables and views, so
+applications can discover and access them. In LanceDB, it organizes those
+objects into databases and namespaces.
+
+## Databases, namespaces and tables {#objects}
+
+A database contains namespaces that group related tables and views. Namespaces
+can also contain other namespaces, allowing teams to organize data by project,
+environment or purpose.
+
+For example, a search application can keep production and staging data in
+separate namespaces within the same database:
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    database["ai_data · database"] --> prod["prod · namespace"]
+    database --> staging["staging · namespace"]
+    prod --> prod_docs["documents · table"]
+    staging --> staging_docs["documents · table"]
+```
+
+<span id="views" />
+
+| Object | What it represents |
+| --- | --- |
+| [Database](/management/database) | A container for namespaces and their data objects. |
+| [Namespace](/management/namespace) | A named group of tables, views or nested namespaces. |
+| [Table](/management/table) | Data stored as rows and columns. |
+| [View](/management/view) | A saved query, evaluated when read. Available in Enterprise. |
+| [Materialized view](/management/materialized-view) | The stored results of a query, updated by a refresh. |
+
+{/*
+Draft for the Functions release. Add this row to the table above:
+| [Function](/management/function) | Registered code used to compute column values. Available in Enterprise. |
+*/}
+
+<span id="resolution" />
+
+## Organization and access control {#governance}
+
+- **Separate projects and environments.** Keep production and staging tables
+  in distinct namespaces, even when they use the same table names.
+- **Find shared datasets.** Give teams a consistent place to discover and
+  access the data they work with.
+- **Control access in Enterprise.** Use permissions on databases, namespaces
+  and tables to manage who can access shared data and what they can do with it.
+

+description: "Understand table commits, concurrent writes and the boundaries of recovery."
+icon: shield-check
+keywords: ["guarantees", "consistency", "atomicity", "durability", "concurrency"]
+---
+
+## Atomic table writes {#writes}
+
+A table transaction commits its changes atomically: readers see the committed
+table version, not a partially applied transaction. For example, a committed
+append adds its rows together.
+
+This boundary is one table transaction. A workflow that updates several tables
+or runs a background job can contain multiple commits. Do not assume the whole
+workflow is atomic.
+
+<span id="schema" />
+
+Schema changes are also part of table history. Changing a column's type can
+rewrite data; adding a derived column can write the new column independently.
+
+## Consistent reads {#reads}
+
+A read of a table uses a consistent snapshot. A consistent snapshot can still
+be older than another writer's latest commit. [Consistency](/tables/consistency)
+explains how OSS and Enterprise choose the version a reader sees.
+
+For an experiment that must keep using the same data, select a specific retained
+table version rather than relying on a connection's default freshness.
+
+## Concurrent writes {#concurrency}
+
+Lance uses optimistic concurrency control. Writers prepare changes, then check
+compatibility with intervening commits. Compatible changes can be committed;
+conflicts may be retried or returned as errors.
+
+Applications must handle failed writes. Concurrent appends are compatible, but
+that does not promise success through storage failures or exhausted retries.
+Do not rely on a particular ordering between independent writers.
+
+The [Lance transaction specification](https://lance.org/format/table/transaction/)
+describes commit behavior and compatibility between operations.
+
+## Storage durability {#durability}
+
+A committed table version is stored in the table’s configured storage. LanceDB
+OSS uses your local filesystem or object store; LanceDB Enterprise uses the
+cluster’s configured storage.
+
+Table version history does not replace backups. Configure storage redundancy
+and backups to meet your recovery requirements.
+
+## Background job completion {#jobs}
+
+In LanceDB Enterprise, operations such as index builds and column refreshes
+can run as background jobs. Receiving a job handle confirms submission. Wait
+for the job to succeed before relying on its result.
+
+Some operations save results in batches. If a job fails or is cancelled,
+batches already committed can remain in the table. Each operation’s guide
+explains whether it can leave partial results.
+
+## Writes after a client timeout {#timeouts}
+
+If a client times out while waiting for a write, the write may already have
+committed. Retrying an append can therefore insert the same records again.
+
+Check whether the intended records were written before retrying. For an
+operation submitted as a background job, check its status using the job handle.
+
+## Version history and recovery {#history}
+
+Retained table versions let you inspect earlier data or restore a table to a
+previous version. Cleanup can remove those versions and their underlying files,
+so configure retention to cover the history you need.
+
+Dropping a table is different from deleting records. Table version history
+cannot undo `drop_table`.

+    Job handles track operations in OSS and Enterprise. Enterprise also
+    supports listing server jobs, reopening them by ID and reading their events.
+---
+
+## Job handles {#convention}
+
+A job handle lets you track an operation, such as an index build or a computed
+column refresh. Use it to check progress, wait for completion and inspect
+failures.
+
+Methods such as Python's `create_index_async` and TypeScript's
+`createIndexAsync` return job handles. In OSS, the work runs in your application
+process; in Enterprise, it runs on server workers. A returned handle can
+represent an operation that has already finished, so check its status before
+waiting or requesting cancellation. See the operation's API reference for when
+the method returns.
+
+## Submit and wait for a job {#waiting}
+
+1. **Submit the operation.** Keep the returned job handle. For an Enterprise
+   job, also keep its ID if another process needs to look it up later.
+2. **Check progress.** Read the current status while the operation runs.
+3. **Wait for completion.** Check that the job succeeded before using its
+   result. If it failed or was cancelled, inspect the failure details and any
+   results it committed before stopping.
+
+In Python, `job.status()` reports the current state and `job.wait()` waits for
+completion, raising if the job fails or is cancelled. If `job.wait()` times out, the client stops waiting.
+The timeout does not cancel the server job.
+
+<span id="inspecting" />
+<span id="events" />
+
+## Inspect and cancel jobs {#managing}
+
+| Task | What to do |
+| --- | --- |
+| Inspect progress | Check status and refresh the handle to retrieve details. Enterprise job events can help explain ongoing work or failures. |
+| Reattach from another process | Open an existing server job with its ID, such as Python's `db.open_job(job_id)`. The server must still retain the job record. |
+| Diagnose a failure | Inspect failure details and relevant events. Enterprise SQL also provides `SHOW ERRORS`. |
+| Request cancellation | Call the job's cancellation method. Cancellation may take time, and work already committed is not rolled back. |
+
+Reopening a job retrieves the existing operation; it does not restart failed
+work. Treat the ID as an opaque identifier and pass it unchanged to the jobs API.
+
+Event responses have [row limits](/basics/limits#jobs). An explicit limit can
+request more than the default, but it does not guarantee a complete event
+history.
+
+## OSS and Enterprise execution {#in-process}
+
+| | OSS | Enterprise |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Execution | In your application process | On server workers |
+| Job identity | No server ID | A server ID for looking up the job |
+| Event history | No server event history | Available through the jobs API |

+
+## Multimodal storage and processing {#multimodal}
+
+LanceDB brings storage, search and data processing together for AI workloads.
+You can store multimodal data, derive features, search your records and prepare
+training datasets using tables built on the open [Lance format](/basics/lance).
+
+The format provides the storage foundation. The [catalog](/basics/catalog)
+organizes your tables. LanceDB provides the tools to work with that data.
+
+## Example: a video search workflow {#capabilities}
+
+Consider a team building a video search application:
+
+<span id="ingest" />
+<span id="compute" />
+<span id="search" />
+
+1. **Ingest the clips.** Store video clips with metadata such as timestamps,
+   source and labels.
+2. **Add features.** Generate captions and embeddings with your models, and
+   store them alongside each clip.
+3. **Use the dataset.** Search for relevant clips using embeddings and metadata
+   filters, or select a dataset to read into a training framework.
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    clips["Video clips and metadata"] --> table["Store in a Lance table"]
+    table --> features["Add captions and embeddings"]
+    features --> search["Search for relevant clips"]
+    features --> training["Select data for training"]
+```
+
+The clips, metadata and derived features stay associated in the same table,
+so retrieval and training workflows can use the same dataset. Your training
+framework runs the model; LanceDB provides access to the training data.
+
+## Shared compute and maintenance in Enterprise {#where}
+
+LanceDB OSS runs as an embedded library in your application. LanceDB Enterprise
+provides shared infrastructure for applications and teams working with larger
+multimodal workloads.
+
+<span id="maintenance" />
+
+- **Scale resources for different workloads.** Provision query serving and
+  background workers independently as search traffic and indexing demand grow.
+- **Share data across teams.** Give applications access to shared tables, with
+  Enterprise permissions controlling who can read or change them.
+- **Manage ongoing maintenance.** Configure background indexing, compaction
+  and cleanup as your datasets grow.
+
+See [Architecture](/architecture) for how Enterprise separates storage, query
+serving and background work.

+
+## Lance format overview {#standard}
+
+[Lance](https://lance.org/) is an open-source, columnar format designed for
+multimodal AI. It defines how data is stored and organized into versioned tables.
+
+<span id="embedded" />
+<span id="enterprise" />
+
+LanceDB OSS and LanceDB Enterprise both use Lance as their storage foundation.
+The format is developed as an independent open-source project, with its own
+specification and tools.
+
+## Multimodal data {#storage}
+
+A Lance table can hold images, video, audio, text, embeddings and structured
+metadata together. For example, a video dataset can keep each clip alongside
+its caption, labels and embeddings, so applications can search and work with
+those fields together.
+
+## Data access, versioning and column updates {#capabilities}
+
+- **Efficient data access.** Read individual rows for retrieval and training,
+  or scan columns for analytics.
+- **Versioned data.** Read an earlier table version to reproduce an experiment
+  or inspect previous results, while that version is retained.
+- **Independent column updates.** Add embeddings or other derived features
+  without rewriting the existing image, video or text columns.

+
+## Fixed API limits {#fixed-limits}
+
+| Operation | Scope | Limit and behavior |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Job event retrieval | Enterprise | At most 10,000 rows per response. Results can be truncated without a truncation indicator. |
+| `SHOW ERRORS ... LIMIT` | Enterprise SQL | Accepts 1 through 100,000. Values outside the range are rejected. |
+| `SHOW ERRORS` without `FOR JOB` | Enterprise SQL | Inspects up to the 32 most recent failed jobs. Use `FOR JOB` to inspect a specific job. |
+| Percentage sampling | Enterprise SQL | `TABLESAMPLE` accepts percentages from 0 through 100. Values outside the range are rejected. |
+| Row-count sampling | Enterprise SQL | `TABLESAMPLE (... ROWS)` requires a whole number. |
+
+See [SQL job commands](/sql/ddl/job#errors) and
+[Sampling](/sql/dql/sampling) for syntax and restrictions on supported table types.
+
+<span id="schema" />
+
+Data-type and index constraints belong to the operation you choose. Check
+[Data types](/sql/data-types) and [Vector indexes](/indexing/vector-index)
+before choosing a schema or index. For materialized views, check
+[stable row ID requirements](/feature-engineering/materialized-views#stable-row-ids)
+before creating source tables.
+
+## Configurable limits {#not-quotas}
+
+| Setting | What it controls |
+| --- | --- |
+| Job event `limit` | Requests more or fewer event rows. The default is 1,000; the 10,000-row maximum still applies. |
+| FTS `max_token_length` | The maximum indexed token length. The default is 40; longer tokens are excluded from the index. |
+| Enterprise capacity and quotas | Storage, request rate and concurrency are governed by your deployment's resources and configuration. Confirm these with your administrator or LanceDB support. |
+
+## Handling rejected or incomplete results {#behavior}
+
+- **Rejected requests:** correct the input before retrying, such as a sampling
+  percentage outside the accepted range.
+- **Truncated responses:** do not assume that a returned event list is the full
+  history. Increasing `limit` cannot exceed the maximum; use filters to narrow
+  the events you inspect.
+- **Excluded data:** an FTS token-length setting can affect which words are
+  searchable. Choose it for your text and indexing requirements.

+
+## Naming rules {#rules}
+
+<span id="objects" />
+
+Databases, namespaces, tables, views and branches all have names. Choose names
+that describe their purpose, such as `documents`, `prod` or `training_2026`.
+Consistent names make data easier to find and application code easier to read.
+
+Use the following rules for names that work across LanceDB OSS and Enterprise.
+
+| Object | Characters | Length |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Table, materialized view, view | ASCII letters and digits, `-`, `_`, `.` | 1 to 128 characters |
+| Namespace component | ASCII letters and digits, `-`, `_`, `.` | 1 to 64 characters; at most 10 components in a path |
+| Database | ASCII letters and digits, `-`, `_`, `.`, with `/` between components | 1 to 64 characters for the whole name |
+| Branch | Avoid `$` and `:`; use ASCII letters, digits, `-` and `_` for portability | Keep to 1 to 64 characters |
+
+- Names and individual namespace or database components must not be empty.
+- Table, view, namespace and database components cannot be `.` or `..`.
+- Avoid `$` and `:` because they separate parts of qualified identifiers.
+- A namespace path beginning with `public` cannot contain another component.

+Add this item to the list above, after the rule for `.` and `..`:
+- Secret names cannot be `.` or `..`.
+*/}
+
+## Namespace paths {#paths}
+
+A namespace path is a list of names. `["prod", "search"]` identifies the
+`search` namespace within `prod`. A table named `documents` belongs to that
+namespace; its table name remains `documents`.
+
+Use the SDK's namespace-path argument to supply the list. A period inside an
+SDK name is a character in that name, not a separator that creates another
+namespace. SQL uses its own qualified-name syntax; see
+[SQL namespace paths](/sql/dql/select#namespaces).
+
+The empty path `[]` identifies the root namespace.
+
+## Examples {#examples}
+
+| Name or path | Guidance |
+| --- | --- |
+| `documents`, `user-events.v2`, `train_2026` | Portable table names |
+| `["prod", "search"]` | A two-component namespace path |
+| `my table` | Use `my_table` instead of a space |
+| `orders$2026` | Use `orders_2026`; `$` is reserved |

+keywords: ["oss", "enterprise", "embedded", "deployment", "availability", "comparison"]
+---
+
+LanceDB gives you two ways to work with multimodal data, both built on the open
+[Lance](/basics/lance) format.
+
+**LanceDB OSS** is an embedded library. Run it inside your application
+with tables on local disk or in object storage. You control the application,
+its resources, and table maintenance, without a separate database service.
+[Try the quickstart](/quickstart) to create a table and run your first search.
+
+**LanceDB Enterprise** is a multimodal lakehouse for data curation, feature
+engineering, search, and training data access. It adds query-serving capacity,
+data caching, and background operations for teams working with shared
+multimodal datasets.
+[Connect to Enterprise](/basics/connect#enterprise) when your cluster is ready.
+
+<span id="labels" />
+<span id="availability" />
+
+## Why choose Enterprise? {#why-enterprise}
+
+### Serve growing workloads {#serving}
+
+Add query-serving capacity as more applications and users depend on your data.
+Enterprise spreads query traffic across a fleet and caches frequently read
+table data near compute, reducing repeated reads from object storage. Query
+serving and background work use separate resources, so you can size each for
+your workload. See [Enterprise architecture](/enterprise/architecture).
+
+### Reduce operational work {#operations}
+
+Let the service handle routine table maintenance instead of scheduling it in
+application code. Enterprise handles background [compaction](/maintenance/compaction) and can
+[clean up old table versions](/maintenance/cleanup) according to your retention
+policy. Configure these maintenance tasks for your Enterprise cluster so each
+application does not have to schedule them.
+
+### Fit your deployment requirements {#deployment}
+
+Choose a managed deployment or bring LanceDB into your own cloud account.
+Enterprise integrates with OpenTelemetry for metrics and traces, helping your
+team monitor the service alongside your applications. Talk to us about your
+cloud, networking, and operational requirements to plan the right deployment.
+The [Enterprise overview](/enterprise) explains the available options.
+
+### Connect your data workflows {#workflows}
+
+Use the same tables for retrieval, dataset preparation, and training data access.
+With its [SQL endpoint](/basics/sql) enabled, Enterprise supports analytical
+[curation](/curation), including joins, grouping, and sampling.
+[Feature engineering](/feature-engineering) adds derived columns and tables;
+computed columns and materialized views require the corresponding features to
+be enabled for your Enterprise cluster.
+[Geneva](/geneva) runs Python feature backfills as distributed jobs.
+[Training data loaders](/training/data-loading), available in both offerings,
+read the resulting datasets for model training.
+
+## Plan your Enterprise deployment {#get-started}
+
+[Talk to us about your workload](https://www.lancedb.com/contact) to discuss your
+data, query traffic, pipelines, and deployment requirements.
+
+For a closer look at how the service runs, read the
+[Enterprise architecture](/enterprise/architecture).

+icon: magnifying-glass
+keywords: ["query", "search", "SQL", "async", "streaming", "results"]
+---
+
+## Querying tables {#queries}
+
+A query selects data from your tables. You can filter rows, choose columns,
+search for similar content or combine those operations. For example, a video
+application might find clips similar to a sample and return only those recorded
+in the last month.
+
+## SDK searches and SQL queries {#searches}
+
+| Interface | When to use it |
+| --- | --- |
+| **SDK query builders** | Build vector, full-text and hybrid searches, apply filters and choose the fields to return. Available in OSS and Enterprise. |
+| **Enterprise SQL** | Write SQL queries for filtering, aggregation, joins and other data curation tasks. Connect through Python or a Flight SQL client. |
+
+Both interfaces work with LanceDB tables. Choose the one that supports your
+operation and fits your application. See [SQL](/basics/sql) for connection
+instructions and SQL search support, and [Search](/search) for the query builders.
+
+## Collect or stream results {#results}
+
+- **Collect the results** when you want a list, Arrow table or DataFrame that
+  fits in memory. Use a result limit and select only the columns you need.
+- **Read batches** when you want to process a large result incrementally.
+  Reading batches avoids loading the entire result into application memory.
+  It does not guarantee that the query can return its first batch immediately.
+
+### Asynchronous clients {#async-client}
+
+An async client lets your application do other work while a request is waiting.
+That is separate from whether you collect results or read them in batches.
+Python offers synchronous and asynchronous clients; TypeScript uses async APIs.
+Check the SDK reference for the methods available in your client.
+
+### Query handles and background jobs {#jobs}
+
+An Enterprise SQL query handle lets you inspect query execution and request
+cancellation. Background operations such as index builds return a
+[job](/basics/jobs) handle instead. Use the API for the returned handle to
+check status and retrieve results.

+from your application. Python, TypeScript and Rust work with both the embedded
+OSS library and LanceDB Enterprise.
+
+The [quickstart](/quickstart) includes installation instructions and complete
+examples in all three languages. For connection settings, see
+[Connect to LanceDB](/basics/connect).
+
+## Official SDKs {#supported-sdks}
+
+| SDK | Use it with | API reference |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Python | Python applications, notebooks, pandas and PyArrow | [Python reference](https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/python/python/) |
+| TypeScript | Node.js and TypeScript applications | [TypeScript reference](https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/js/) |
+| Rust | Rust applications using the native library | [Rust reference](https://docs.rs/lancedb/latest/lancedb/index.html) |
+| Java | Applications using the Enterprise REST API | [Java reference](https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/java/java/) |
+
+Guides show the available language examples together. Use the API reference for
+method signatures and options; SDKs do not expose every feature through the same
+methods. In Rust, enable the `remote` feature to connect to Enterprise.
+
+For SQL joins, aggregations and window functions, use
+[SQL](/basics/sql). Python provides a SQL client, and applications in other
+languages can use a Flight SQL client. TypeScript's table query API does not
+provide a SQL execution method.
+
+## REST API {#rest}
+
+LanceDB Enterprise also exposes an HTTP API for catalog and table operations.
+Use it when integrating a language or tool without a LanceDB SDK. The
+[REST API reference](/api-reference/rest) describes its endpoints and request
+formats. For SQL queries, connect through [Flight SQL](/basics/sql).
+
+## Community SDKs {#community-sdks}
+
+These clients are maintained by the community. Check each project's supported
+features, installation instructions and releases before choosing one.
+
+| Language | Project |
+| --- | --- |
+| Go | [lancedb-go](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/lancedb/lancedb-go/pkg/lancedb) |

+| R | [lancedb](https://github.com/CathalByrneGit/lancedb) |
+| Flutter | [flutter_lancedb](https://github.com/Alexcn/flutter_lancedb) |
+
+## Python multiprocessing {#multiprocessing}
+
+<Warning>
+Use `spawn` when starting Python worker processes with `multiprocessing`.
+LanceDB uses threads internally, and forking a process with active threads can
+cause deadlocks. Create a connection inside each worker instead of sharing an
+open connection from the parent process.
+</Warning>
+
+For PyTorch worker setup and connection factories, see
+[PyTorch integration](/training/torch).
+
+## Moving to LanceDB Enterprise {#moving-to-enterprise}
+
+The core table workflow stays familiar: connect, create or open a table, write
+records, and query them. Enterprise runs those operations on remote compute and
+manages background maintenance.

+## Shared data across languages {#invariants}
+
+LanceDB uses Arrow schemas across its SDKs. A fixed-size vector column stores

+describes the supported element types and other column types.
+
+Applications in different languages can work with the same tables. Connect to
+the same database and namespace, use the appropriate credentials, and account
+for [read consistency](/tables/consistency) when another process writes data.

+  summary: >-
+    Enterprise supports SQL through Arrow Flight SQL. Use the SDK table APIs for embedded OSS tables. See [Connection settings](#sql-is-remote) to connect.
+---
+
+Use SQL in LanceDB Enterprise to filter records, join tables, calculate
+aggregates, and prepare datasets. SQL queries work with the same Lance tables
+you create and update through the SDKs, without exporting the data to another
+system.
+
+You can run SQL through the Python SDK or an Arrow Flight SQL client. This
+guide covers connection settings, a first query, and how SQL fits alongside
+the SDK table APIs.
+
+## Connect a SQL client {#flight-sql}
+
+Enterprise exposes an
+[Arrow Flight SQL](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/FlightSql.html)
+endpoint. A compatible client sends SQL statements to this endpoint and
+receives results as Arrow record batches.
+
+- **Python:** use `execute_query()` on an Enterprise connection, as shown below.
+- **TypeScript:** use a separate Flight SQL client. The LanceDB TypeScript SDK
+  does not expose a SQL execution method.
+- **Other languages and tools:** use a Flight SQL client or a tool with Flight
+  SQL integration. A LanceDB-specific SDK is not required to submit SQL.
+
+The [SQL reference](/sql#connecting) shows a query from Python. See
+[SDKs](/basics/sdk) for the LanceDB language clients.
+
+### Connection settings {#sql-is-remote}
+
+Get the following values from your Enterprise administrator:
+
+- Database URI, such as `db://your-database`.
+- API key and region.
+- API endpoint for `host_override`.
+- Flight SQL endpoint for `sql_host_override`, including its scheme and port.
+
+The Flight SQL endpoint must be enabled and reachable from your client. Pass
+it explicitly as `sql_host_override` in Python, as in the example below. The
+API and SQL endpoints may use different hosts or ports.
+
+See [Connect to Enterprise](/basics/connect#enterprise) for other connection options.
+
+SQL runs in Enterprise. Connections to a local directory or an object-storage
+bucket use the embedded OSS library and cannot execute SQL statements. Use
+SDK table operations to query those tables.
+
+## Run a query in Python {#sql-from-python}
+
+Install the SDK with `pip install lancedb`. Replace the connection placeholders
+with your Enterprise settings, including the region and both endpoint URLs.
+This example reads an existing table named `my_docs` with `id` and `text`
+columns. Change the query to match your table.
+
+```python
+import lancedb
+
+db = lancedb.connect(
+    "db://your-database",
+    api_key="your-api-key",
+    region="us-east-1",
+    host_override="https://your-api-endpoint",
+    sql_host_override="https://your-sql-endpoint:443",
+)
+
+reader = db.execute_query("SELECT id, text FROM my_docs LIMIT 10")
+table = reader.read_all()
+print(table.to_pylist())
+```
+
+In application code, load credentials from environment variables or a secrets
+manager. The [connection guide](/basics/connect#enterprise) shows that setup.
+
+`execute_query()` returns a blocking Arrow reader when results start arriving.
+The example uses `read_all()` to collect the small result in memory. For larger
+results, consume the reader in batches. To submit a query and check its status
+separately, use `execute_query_async()`. See [Queries](/basics/query) for query
+handles, streaming, and cancellation.
+
+## Choose SQL or SDK table operations {#choosing}
+
+Use **SQL** for joins, aggregations, window functions, and analytical queries
+written in SQL. Use **SDK table operations** to build applications around table
+management, ingestion, filtering, and search, including applications that run
+with the embedded OSS library.
+
+You can combine them. For example, create and populate a table with an SDK,
+then query it with SQL to prepare a training dataset. In Python, both workflows
+can use the same Enterprise connection.
+
+### Common SQL operations {#sdk-parity}
+
+Several tasks are available through both interfaces, but the methods and SQL
+statements do not have identical coverage. SDK support also differs by
+language. These SQL reference pages describe the supported statements:
+
+| Task | SQL reference |
+| --- | --- |
+| Create a table | [CREATE TABLE](/sql/ddl/table) |
+| Insert or change rows | [INSERT](/sql/dml/insert), [UPDATE](/sql/dml/update), [DELETE](/sql/dml/delete) |
+| Build an index | [CREATE INDEX](/sql/ddl/index) |
+| Join and aggregate data | [SELECT](/sql/dql/select) |
+| Save a query as a view | [CREATE VIEW](/sql/ddl/view) |
+
+[Computed columns](/feature-engineering/add-computed-column) store SQL
+expressions whose values are populated by a refresh. {/* Draft for the Functions release:
+They are separate from registered Python Functions. */}
+See the computed-column and
+[materialized-view](/management/materialized-view) guides for their SDK and SQL
+operations and Enterprise setup requirements.
+
+## Vector and full-text search {#no-vector-sql}
+
+SQL vector search support depends on the Enterprise server version and query
+form. Versions that support `ORDER BY distance(vector, query_vector) LIMIT k`
+over a table scan can plan indexed or flat vector search. Check that your
+server version supports this form, then use
+[`EXPLAIN`](/sql/dql/explain) to inspect the query plan.
+
+The [SDK vector search API](/search/vector-search) is also available in
+Enterprise and OSS. Use it when you prefer the SDK query builder or need to
+search embedded tables.
+
+For full-text search in SQL, use the [`fts()`](/sql/functions#fts) table
+function or the [`contains_tokens`](/sql/scalar-functions#contains-tokens)
+predicate.
+
+## SQL syntax and API references {#reference}
+
+The [SQL reference](/sql) documents statement syntax, supported expressions,
+and data types. For SDK methods and their arguments, use the
+[Python](https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/python/python/),
+[TypeScript](https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/js/), or
+[Rust](https://docs.rs/lancedb/latest/lancedb/index.html) API reference.

+  summary: >-
+    Enterprise supports SQL aggregation.
+---
+
+Use SQL aggregates to summarize a dataset: count records, find missing values,
+and compare groups. These summaries help you understand the data before
+selecting records for search, evaluation or training.
+
+## Example data {#example-data}
+
+Connect with an [Enterprise SQL client](/basics/sql). The examples use a small
+document table and a separate label table. Expand the setup below to create them.
+
+<Accordion title="Create the example tables">
+
+`curation_documents` has six records describing four documents.
+`curation_labels` has one label for each of three documents. `row_id` identifies
+a record; `doc_id` identifies the document it describes.
+
+Run each statement separately in a scratch database or namespace. Create these
+tables once for the whole section, using fresh names if they already exist.
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE curation_documents (
+    row_id BIGINT, doc_id BIGINT, version BIGINT,
+    source VARCHAR, caption VARCHAR, score DOUBLE
+);
+INSERT INTO curation_documents VALUES
+    (1, 10, 1, 'web', NULL, 0.80),
+    (2, 10, 2, 'web', 'A cat on a chair', 0.95),
+    (3, 20, 1, 'books', 'A dog in a field', 0.90),
+    (4, 30, 1, 'web', NULL, 0.70),
+    (5, 30, 1, 'web', 'A cat by a window', 0.85),
+    (6, 40, 1, 'books', 'A bird in a tree', 0.60);
+
+CREATE TABLE curation_labels (doc_id BIGINT, label VARCHAR);
+INSERT INTO curation_labels VALUES
+    (10, 'cat'), (20, 'dog'), (30, 'cat');
+```
+
+`score` is a sample quality score, not a search result score. Document 10 has
+two versions. Document 30 has two records at the same version. Document 40
+has no label. These cases let you check the effect of each operation.
+
+</Accordion>
+
+## Count records and missing values {#size}
+
+Use `count(*)` to count rows and `count(column)` to count non-null values.
+Add `DISTINCT` to count unique values:
+
+```sql
+SELECT count(*) AS records,
+       count(DISTINCT doc_id) AS documents,
+       count(caption) AS captioned,
+       count(*) FILTER (WHERE caption IS NULL) AS missing_caption
+FROM curation_documents;
+```
+
+The example returns **6 records, 4 documents, 4 populated captions and 2 missing
+captions**. `count(column)` excludes null values; it does not check whether a
+string is empty or whether a value is useful for the task.
+
+## Group records by label {#balance}
+
+Use `GROUP BY` to calculate a summary for each label:
+
+```sql
+SELECT label, count(*) AS documents
+FROM curation_labels
+GROUP BY label
+ORDER BY documents DESC, label;
+```
+
+There are **2 cats and 1 dog** in the label table. Document 40 is absent, so this
+query does not measure labeling coverage across all source documents. Use a
+[left join](/curation/join#join-type) to find documents without labels.
+
+Decide whether the distribution matches your intended use. A uniform random
+sample tends to preserve the source distribution; it does not balance classes.
+To cap the number selected per label, use
+[ranking within a group](/curation/windowing#per-group).
+
+## Count records that match a condition {#conditional}
+
+```sql
+SELECT source,
+       count(*) AS records,
+       count(*) FILTER (WHERE score >= 0.9) AS high_score,
+       count(*) FILTER (WHERE caption IS NULL) AS missing_caption
+FROM curation_documents
+GROUP BY source
+ORDER BY source;
+```
+
+`FILTER` applies a condition to one aggregate. Here, `books` has 2 records,
+1 high-score record and no missing captions. `web` has 4 records, 1 high-score
+record and 2 missing captions. Counts are per record, so repeated document IDs
+still contribute more than once.
+
+<span id="distinct"></span>
+## Group numeric values into ranges {#buckets}
+
+Use `count(DISTINCT column)` for the number of distinct non-null values.
+For numeric fields, group by a range or summarize their distribution. For
+example, this query counts records in score buckets of width 0.1:
+
+```sql
+SELECT floor(score * 10) / 10 AS score_bucket, count(*) AS records
+FROM curation_documents
+GROUP BY score_bucket
+ORDER BY score_bucket;
+```
+
+For time-based data, group by the time interval relevant to the task. The
+[aggregation reference](/sql/dql/aggregation) and
+[scalar function reference](/sql/scalar-functions) cover additional summaries,
+including approximate counts and percentiles. Use an approximate aggregate when an estimate is sufficient; use an exact
+count when the result must be precise.
+
+## Profile a sample {#sampling}
+
+A [sample](/curation/sampling) can help you explore a large dataset before a
+full scan. Report the sample size and method alongside the result. A sample can miss rare classes, and fragment sampling can reflect the order
+in which records were written.
+
+Before accepting a curated dataset, check its required fields and key
+constraints directly rather than inferring them from a small sample.
+
+## Continue curating {#reference}
+
+Use these measurements to choose a [sample](/curation/sampling),
+[attach missing metadata](/curation/join), or
+[select one record per document](/curation/windowing).
+See [Aggregation](/sql/dql/aggregation) for complete SQL syntax.

+
+Data curation turns a collection of records into a dataset suited to a task.
+You might select labeled examples for training, prepare a fixed evaluation
+set, or remove duplicate documents from a search corpus.
+
+Start with the result you need. Then inspect the source data, choose which
+records belong, and save the selected data or the rules used to produce it.
+
+## Choose a curation task {#questions}
+
+| Task | What it helps you decide |
+| --- | --- |
+| [Profile a dataset](/curation/aggregate) | Whether coverage, missing values and class balance suit the task. |
+| [Sample records](/curation/sampling) | Which subset to inspect or use for an experiment. |
+| [Join datasets](/curation/join) | How to attach labels, metadata or scores stored elsewhere. |
+| [Rank and deduplicate](/curation/windowing) | Which records to keep when several describe the same item. |
+
+The analytical examples in this section use **Enterprise SQL**. Connect with
+the [SQL guide](/basics/sql). For sampling through the Python SDK in OSS or
+Enterprise, see [Sample without SQL](/curation/sampling#training).
+
+## Prepare a labeled document dataset {#shape}
+
+Suppose you need one labeled record per document for a training experiment.
+Inspect the source records, choose the latest version of each document, then
+join its label. Finally, check the class balance of the selected records.
+
+### Example data {#example-data}
+
+Connect with an [Enterprise SQL client](/basics/sql). The examples use a small
+document table and a separate label table. Expand the setup below to create them.
+
+<Accordion title="Create the example tables">
+
+`curation_documents` has six records describing four documents.
+`curation_labels` has one label for each of three documents. `row_id` identifies
+a record; `doc_id` identifies the document it describes.
+
+Run each statement separately in a scratch database or namespace. Create these
+tables once for the whole section, using fresh names if they already exist.
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE curation_documents (
+    row_id BIGINT, doc_id BIGINT, version BIGINT,
+    source VARCHAR, caption VARCHAR, score DOUBLE
+);
+INSERT INTO curation_documents VALUES
+    (1, 10, 1, 'web', NULL, 0.80),
+    (2, 10, 2, 'web', 'A cat on a chair', 0.95),
+    (3, 20, 1, 'books', 'A dog in a field', 0.90),
+    (4, 30, 1, 'web', NULL, 0.70),
+    (5, 30, 1, 'web', 'A cat by a window', 0.85),
+    (6, 40, 1, 'books', 'A bird in a tree', 0.60);
+
+CREATE TABLE curation_labels (doc_id BIGINT, label VARCHAR);
+INSERT INTO curation_labels VALUES
+    (10, 'cat'), (20, 'dog'), (30, 'cat');
+```
+
+`score` is a sample quality score, not a search result score. Document 10 has
+two versions. Document 30 has two records at the same version. Document 40
+has no label. These cases let you check the effect of each operation.
+
+</Accordion>
+
+The following query chooses the latest record for each document, then keeps
+only documents with a label:
+
+```sql
+WITH ranked AS (
+    SELECT *, row_number() OVER (
+        PARTITION BY doc_id ORDER BY version DESC, row_id DESC
+    ) AS rn
+    FROM curation_documents
+)
+SELECT d.row_id, d.doc_id, d.caption, l.label
+FROM ranked AS d
+JOIN curation_labels AS l ON l.doc_id = d.doc_id
+WHERE d.rn = 1
+ORDER BY d.doc_id;
+```
+
+The result contains documents **10, 20 and 30**, with labels **cat, dog and
+cat**. Document 40 is excluded because this particular task requires a label.
+The `row_id` tie-breaker makes the choice for document 30 deterministic;
+choose a tie-breaker that fits your own data.
+
+The example assumes one label per document. Duplicate keys in the label table
+would multiply the result rows. The [joining guide](/curation/join#labels)
+shows how to check that assumption.
+
+## Check the selected dataset {#check-result}
+
+Compare the result with the task's requirements: are the expected documents
+present, are required fields populated, and is the class distribution suitable?
+This example has two cats and one dog. That distribution may be appropriate
+for exploration, but it does not establish a representative evaluation set.
+
+[Profiling](/curation/aggregate) provides the counts to inspect.
+[Sampling](/curation/sampling) and [ranking](/curation/windowing) help you
+adjust the selection without changing the original records.
+
+## Save and reuse the result {#next}
+
+Choose the output according to how you will use it:
+
+- **A fixed dataset:** save the query result in a new table with
+  [`CREATE TABLE AS SELECT`](/sql/ddl/table#create). Keep that output unchanged
+  when comparing experiments.
+- **A reusable selection:** save the query as a [view](/management/view).
+  A view stores the query definition, so it is not a frozen evaluation set.
+- **Stored results that you refresh:** use a
+  [materialized view](/management/materialized-view) when its supported query
+  and refresh behavior fit the workflow.
+
+Record the source versions and selection rules alongside the output. Continue
+with [data loading](/training/data-loading) to use the curated data in a
+training pipeline.

+has no label. These cases let you check the effect of each operation.
+
+</Accordion>
+
+## Basic join {#join-type}
+
+An inner join keeps matching records:
+
+```sql
+SELECT d.row_id, d.doc_id, l.label
+FROM curation_documents AS d
+JOIN curation_labels AS l ON l.doc_id = d.doc_id
+ORDER BY d.row_id;
+```
+
+This returns **5 rows**: both records for document 10, one for document 20,
+and both records for document 30. To produce one row per document,
+[deduplicate the source records](/curation/windowing#dedup).
+
+### Find records without a match
+
+A left join keeps every record from the left table and fills missing right-side
+values with `NULL`. Add `WHERE l.doc_id IS NULL` to return only unlabeled documents:
+
+```sql
+SELECT DISTINCT d.doc_id
+FROM curation_documents AS d
+LEFT JOIN curation_labels AS l ON l.doc_id = d.doc_id
+WHERE l.doc_id IS NULL
+ORDER BY d.doc_id;
+```
+
+The result is **document 40**. You might send it for annotation, retain it for
+an unlabeled-data workflow, or exclude it from a task that requires labels.
+
+## Handle duplicate keys {#labels}
+
+This example joins `curation_documents.doc_id` to `curation_labels.doc_id`.
+First check whether the label table contains more than one row per document:
+
+```sql
+SELECT doc_id, count(*) AS labels
+FROM curation_labels
+GROUP BY doc_id
+HAVING count(*) > 1;
+```
+
+The example returns no rows. If your data returns duplicates, decide whether
+they represent valid multiple labels or records that need consolidation.
+A join does not enforce one-to-one matching.
+
+## Join tables across namespaces {#namespaces}
+
+Use a table's qualified path to address it in another
+[namespace](/management/namespace). For example, a table named `images` in
+`prod.media` is addressed as `prod.media.images`. The same matching-key and
+join-type rules apply; your identity needs access to the source objects.
+
+## Combine search results with metadata {#search}
+
+A [SQL full-text search](/sql/dql/fts) returns rows that can be joined to other
+tables. Join using an identifier retained in the search result, then check
+whether the metadata has one or several matches per result.
+
+For an SDK search, retain the matching IDs and combine them with metadata in
+your application or save the selected records to a table for further SQL work.
+See [SQL search interfaces](/basics/sql#no-vector-sql) for supported query forms.
+
+## Join performance {#performance}
+
+Check the row count, unmatched keys and duplicate matches before using a
+joined dataset. Select only the columns needed for the next step, especially
+when source records include large media or embedding columns.
+
+Use [Explain a query plan](/search/explain) to see how the query reads and
+combines data. Check the plan to see whether the query uses indexes and how it performs the
+join. An index on a key does not guarantee that the join will use it.
+
+## Save the result or continue curating {#reference}
+
+Keep the query for reuse or [save the selected data](/curation#next).
+See [Joins](/sql/dql/join) for join types and exact SQL behavior.

+  summary: >-
+    Enterprise supports SQL `TABLESAMPLE`. For sampling in OSS and Enterprise through the Python SDK, see [Sample without SQL](#training).
+---
+
+import { PySampleDataset } from '/snippets/curation_sampling.mdx';
+
+Sampling selects records from a larger table. Use it to explore unfamiliar
+data, run a smaller experiment, or prepare an evaluation dataset. Enterprise
+SQL provides `TABLESAMPLE` for selecting a percentage or number of rows.
+
+This page covers Enterprise SQL sampling and a complete
+[Python SDK example](#training) that runs locally.
+
+## Example data {#example-data}
+
+Connect with an [Enterprise SQL client](/basics/sql). The examples use a small
+document table and a separate label table. Expand the setup below to create them.
+
+<Accordion title="Create the example tables">
+
+`curation_documents` has six records describing four documents.
+`curation_labels` has one label for each of three documents. `row_id` identifies
+a record; `doc_id` identifies the document it describes.
+
+Run each statement separately in a scratch database or namespace. Create these
+tables once for the whole section, using fresh names if they already exist.
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE curation_documents (
+    row_id BIGINT, doc_id BIGINT, version BIGINT,
+    source VARCHAR, caption VARCHAR, score DOUBLE
+);
+INSERT INTO curation_documents VALUES
+    (1, 10, 1, 'web', NULL, 0.80),
+    (2, 10, 2, 'web', 'A cat on a chair', 0.95),
+    (3, 20, 1, 'books', 'A dog in a field', 0.90),
+    (4, 30, 1, 'web', NULL, 0.70),
+    (5, 30, 1, 'web', 'A cat by a window', 0.85),
+    (6, 40, 1, 'books', 'A bird in a tree', 0.60);
+
+CREATE TABLE curation_labels (doc_id BIGINT, label VARCHAR);
+INSERT INTO curation_labels VALUES
+    (10, 'cat'), (20, 'dog'), (30, 'cat');
+```
+
+`score` is a sample quality score, not a search result score. Document 10 has
+two versions. Document 30 has two records at the same version. Document 40
+has no label. These cases let you check the effect of each operation.
+
+</Accordion>
+
+## Basic sampling {#quick}
+
+A percentage selects a fraction of the source; `ROWS` requests a row count:
+
+```sql
+SELECT row_id, doc_id FROM curation_documents TABLESAMPLE (50);
+SELECT row_id, doc_id FROM curation_documents TABLESAMPLE (3 ROWS);
+```
+
+A percentage sample does not guarantee an exact number of rows. Use a count
+when the desired sample size is the main constraint, and inspect the result
+rather than assuming it contains every category you need.
+
+`TABLESAMPLE` requires a table that is not WAL-backed. See the
+[sampling reference](/sql/dql/sampling#refused) for this restriction; do not
+change a production table's write configuration just to try an example.
+
+## Sampling methods {#methods}
+
+Choose a method according to how records should be selected:
+
+| Method | Selection | When to use it |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `BERNOULLI` (default) | Select individual rows | When records should be sampled independently of their storage fragments |
+| `SYSTEM` | Select whole Lance fragments | When reducing reads matters and grouping by fragment is acceptable |
+
+```sql
+SELECT row_id, doc_id
+FROM curation_documents TABLESAMPLE BERNOULLI (50);
+
+SELECT row_id, doc_id
+FROM curation_documents TABLESAMPLE SYSTEM (50);
+```
+
+If write order groups records by label, date or source, a fragment sample can
+reflect that grouping. On a tiny table stored in one fragment, it may include
+all records or none. Row sampling also needs an adequate sample size to
+represent rare groups; check that the resulting sample covers the groups you need.
+
+## Repeatable samples {#fixed}
+
+A seed requests a repeatable draw:
+
+```sql
+SELECT row_id, doc_id
+FROM curation_documents TABLESAMPLE (50) REPEATABLE (42);
+```
+
+Keep the source data and sampling configuration fixed when comparing draws.
+For a lasting evaluation set, save the selected records rather than relying
+on a seed to preserve membership as the source changes:
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE curation_eval AS
+SELECT * FROM curation_documents TABLESAMPLE (50) REPEATABLE (42);
+```
+
+Create this output once with a fresh name and keep it unchanged. Record the
+source version and selection policy. Sampling records independently can place
+revisions of the same document into different splits; decide the
+[grouping policy](/curation/windowing#splits) before using the result for
+training or evaluation.
+
+## Sampling with joins {#joins}
+
+Sampling both input tables independently changes which pairs can match.
+For a one-to-one match, independent 10% row samples retain a given pair with
+about 1% probability, not 10%.
+
+To sample documents while retaining their available labels, sample only the
+document table:
+
+```sql
+SELECT curation_documents.row_id, curation_documents.doc_id, l.label
+FROM curation_documents TABLESAMPLE (50)
+JOIN curation_labels AS l ON l.doc_id = curation_documents.doc_id;
+```
+
+This samples source records, not distinct documents. If you need to sample the
+result of a join or deduplication, first save that result as a table suitable
+for sampling. `TABLESAMPLE` cannot be applied directly to a subquery result.
+
+## Sample without SQL {#training}
+
+The Python SDK provides a permutation builder for selecting and ordering rows
+in OSS and Enterprise. A split selects a subset; a shuffle changes the order
+in which records are read. `Permutation.identity(table)` retains stored order.
+
+<Accordion title="Complete Python example: read a random subset">
+
+Install the Python SDK with `pip install lancedb`, save the program as
+`sample_dataset.py`, and run `python sample_dataset.py`. It creates a temporary
+local database with ten rows and reads a random split containing three rows.
+The temporary database is removed when the program finishes.
+
+<CodeBlock filename="sample_dataset.py" language="python" icon="python">
+{PySampleDataset}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+The program prints three distinct IDs. It uses a fixed seed, but does not
+promise the same IDs across SDK versions or changes to the source dataset.
+
+</Accordion>
+
+For shuffled training reads, worker configuration and data loaders, see
+[Loading data for model training](/training/data-loading).
+
+## Related guides {#reference}
+
+Count the sampled rows and [inspect their distribution](/curation/aggregate)
+before using them. Preserve the selected data when the exact membership matters.
+See [SQL sampling](/sql/dql/sampling) for syntax and restrictions.

+`score` is a sample quality score, not a search result score. Document 10 has

+has no label. These cases let you check the effect of each operation.
+
+</Accordion>
+
+## Keep one record per document {#dedup}
+
+`row_number()` numbers rows within each group. `PARTITION BY` defines the group,
+and `ORDER BY` determines which record comes first. This query selects the
+latest version of each document, using `row_id` to break ties:
+
+```sql
+WITH ranked AS (
+    SELECT *, row_number() OVER (
+        PARTITION BY doc_id ORDER BY version DESC, row_id DESC
+    ) AS rn
+    FROM curation_documents
+)
+SELECT row_id, doc_id, version, caption
+FROM ranked
+WHERE rn = 1
+ORDER BY doc_id;
+```
+
+This returns row IDs **2, 3, 5 and 6**. For document 30, rows 4 and 5 have the
+same version; the example deliberately chooses the larger `row_id`.
+Without a complete ordering, the selected row among ties is not determined by
+the query.
+
+Use `rank()` instead of `row_number()` when tied records should all survive,
+and order only by the fields that define a tie. Adding a unique tie-breaker
+would make every rank distinct. The outer query filters the calculated rank
+because window functions are evaluated after the inner query's `WHERE` clause.
+
+## Select the highest-scoring records per class {#per-group}
+
+Deduplicate first, then rank the labeled documents within each class:
+
+```sql
+WITH latest AS (
+    SELECT *, row_number() OVER (
+        PARTITION BY doc_id ORDER BY version DESC, row_id DESC
+    ) AS version_rank
+    FROM curation_documents
+), ranked AS (
+    SELECT d.doc_id, l.label, d.score,
+           row_number() OVER (
+               PARTITION BY l.label ORDER BY d.score DESC, d.doc_id
+           ) AS class_rank
+    FROM latest AS d
+    JOIN curation_labels AS l ON l.doc_id = d.doc_id
+    WHERE d.version_rank = 1
+)
+SELECT doc_id, label, score
+FROM ranked
+WHERE class_rank <= 1
+ORDER BY label;
+```
+
+The result is **document 10 for cat and document 20 for dog**. Change the cap
+from `1` to the maximum number you want per class. A class with fewer records
+cannot supply the full cap.
+
+This selects by score, not at random. For a random subset, use
+[sampling](/curation/sampling) instead of ordering by score or ID.
+
+## Training and evaluation splits {#splits}
+
+Ranking can divide ordered records into groups, but ordering by ID does not
+make those groups random or representative. `ntile()` produces approximately
+equal-sized buckets within a partition; small classes may not populate every
+bucket.
+
+Choose the split policy for the task. Keep related records, such as revisions
+of one document or frames from one video, in the same split to avoid leakage.
+A time-based evaluation may instead require a cutoff date. Save the final
+assignments or resulting datasets so later updates do not silently change the
+evaluation population.
+
+## Compare neighboring records {#offset}
+
+`lag()` and `lead()` read neighboring rows in the specified order. For example,
+inspect how scores change across a document's records:
+
+```sql
+SELECT doc_id, row_id, score,
+       lag(score) OVER (
+           PARTITION BY doc_id ORDER BY version, row_id
+       ) AS previous_score
+FROM curation_documents
+ORDER BY doc_id, version, row_id;
+```
+
+The first record in each document has no previous score. In this dataset,
+row 2 follows a score of 0.80 and row 5 follows a score of 0.70.
+
+<span id="running"></span>
+## Window query performance {#cost}
+
+Window operations can require sorting. Filter out records you do not need
+before ranking, and inspect the
+[query plan](/search/explain) when cost matters.
+
+For cumulative counts, sums and other running summaries, use an aggregate
+with an explicit window order and frame. The
+[window reference](/sql/dql/window#window) covers those expressions.
+
+## Continue with the curated data {#reference}
+
+[Profile the selected records](/curation/aggregate) and
+[save the result](/curation#next) for downstream use.
+See [Window functions](/sql/dql/window) for the full syntax and function list.

+icon: "chart-line"
+keywords: ["monitoring", "observability", "opentelemetry", "otel", "metrics", "prometheus", "object store"]
+---
+
+LanceDB emits internal metrics (currently object store request counts, bytes transferred, request latency, retryable errors, and throttles) and can bridge them into any [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) backend. Use this to watch how your application interacts with S3, GCS, Azure Blob, or the local filesystem in production: spot latency regressions, catch retry storms, and size your storage tier from real workload data.
+
+The bridge is available in the Python and TypeScript SDKs. It is a thin wrapper over LanceDB's `metrics` recorder; your application supplies and configures the OpenTelemetry SDK.
+
+<Note>
+This page covers LanceDB OSS instrumentation. LanceDB Enterprise clusters emit their own metrics from the server side. See [Enterprise monitoring](#enterprise) below.
+</Note>
+
+## Available metrics {#what-you-get}
+
+Once instrumented, LanceDB registers one observable instrument per metric on your `MeterProvider`. The current catalog covers the object store layer:
+
+| Metric | Kind | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `lance_object_store_requests_total` | Counter | Total object store requests, labelled by `operation` and `base` (store scheme). |
+| `lance_object_store_request_duration_seconds` | Histogram | Request latency in seconds. |
+| `lance_object_store_request_bytes_total` | Counter | Bytes read from or written to the store. |
+| `lance_object_store_errors_total` | Counter | Object store requests that failed. |
+| `lance_object_store_retryable_responses_total` | Counter | Retryable HTTP responses (5xx, 429 and 408) from a store reached over HTTP. |
+| `lance_object_store_throttle_total` | Counter | Throttle responses (429 and 503) from a store reached over HTTP. |
+| `lance_object_store_in_flight_requests` | Gauge | Currently outstanding object store requests. |
+
+The recorder is process-global and pull-based: your configured `MetricReader` collects on its own schedule, so there is no hot-path overhead beyond the atomic aggregation that LanceDB does anyway.
+
+<Note>
+**Histograms are exported Prometheus-style.** OpenTelemetry has no asynchronous histogram instrument, so each histogram surfaces as three observable counters: `<name>_bucket` (with an `le` attribute per bucket boundary, including `+Inf`), `<name>_count`, and `<name>_sum`. Only `_sum` carries the histogram's unit; `_bucket` and `_count` are cumulative sample counts.
+</Note>
+
+## Python {#python}
+
+Install LanceDB with the `otel` extra to pull in the OpenTelemetry API, plus an OpenTelemetry SDK of your choice. The SDK is intentionally not bundled, so you configure it and its readers and exporters however your platform expects.
+
+```bash
+pip install "lancedb[otel]" opentelemetry-sdk opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-grpc
+```
+
+Call `instrument_lancedb_metrics()` once at startup, before opening any tables. It returns `True` when the recorder is installed and instruments are registered.
+
+```python Python icon="python"
+import lancedb
+from lancedb.otel import instrument_lancedb_metrics
+from opentelemetry.sdk.metrics import MeterProvider
+from opentelemetry.sdk.metrics.export import (
+    PeriodicExportingMetricReader,
+)
+from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.grpc.metric_exporter import (
+    OTLPMetricExporter,
+)
+
+reader = PeriodicExportingMetricReader(OTLPMetricExporter())
+provider = MeterProvider(metric_readers=[reader])
+
+instrument_lancedb_metrics(provider)
+
+# Any object store activity from this point on is now recorded.
+db = lancedb.connect("s3://my-bucket/lancedb")
+```
+
+If you omit `meter_provider`, LanceDB uses the global provider returned by `opentelemetry.metrics.get_meter_provider()`.
+
+<Warning>
+`instrument_lancedb_metrics()` returns `False` and emits a warning if another `metrics`-crate recorder is already installed in the process. Only one global recorder is permitted, so instrument LanceDB before any other library that installs its own recorder.
+</Warning>
+
+## TypeScript {#typescript}
+
+Install the OpenTelemetry SDK and exporter in your application:
+
+```bash
+npm install @opentelemetry/sdk-metrics @opentelemetry/exporter-metrics-otlp-grpc
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+import { connect, instrumentLanceDbMetrics } from "@lancedb/lancedb";
+import { MeterProvider, PeriodicExportingMetricReader } from "@opentelemetry/sdk-metrics";
+import { OTLPMetricExporter } from "@opentelemetry/exporter-metrics-otlp-grpc";
+
+const reader = new PeriodicExportingMetricReader({
+  exporter: new OTLPMetricExporter(),
+});
+const provider = new MeterProvider({ readers: [reader] });
+
+instrumentLanceDbMetrics(provider);
+
+const db = await connect("s3://my-bucket/lancedb");
+```
+
+`instrumentLanceDbMetrics()` also accepts no arguments, in which case it uses the global provider from `@opentelemetry/api`. Calling it more than once is safe: instruments are created only on the first successful call.
+
+## Build dashboards and alerts {#what-to-watch}

+- **Request rate by operation:** `rate(lance_object_store_requests_total[1m])` broken down by `operation` shows read vs. write pressure and helps size ingestion and serving traffic separately.
+- **Tail latency:** histogram quantiles over `lance_object_store_request_duration_seconds_bucket` catch object store slowdowns before they surface as query timeouts.
+- **Retryable responses:** a rising `lance_object_store_retryable_responses_total` typically means you are being throttled and should back off or shard writes.
+- **In-flight requests:** a growing `lance_object_store_in_flight_requests` gauge without a matching rise in throughput indicates queueing.
+
+## Enterprise monitoring {#enterprise}
+
+<Badge color="red">Enterprise</Badge> A deployment emits its own metrics from
+the server side, using Prometheus for collection and OpenTelemetry (OTel) to
+export them with data enrichment -- no client-side instrumentation needed.
+
+| Component | Metrics |
+| --- | --- |
+| Query node | RPS, query latency, error codes, slow-query count, CPU/memory utilization |

+  summary: >-
+    The embedded library chooses and configures its storage backend from the
+    connection URI and `storage_options`. In LanceDB Enterprise, storage is part of
+    the deployment's own configuration instead.
+---
+
+This page is about the embedded library, where your connection chooses and
+configures the storage backend. A LanceDB Enterprise deployment sets up its own
+storage when it is deployed, so a `db://` connection passes none of these
+options except an Azure storage account name -- see
+[Deployment](/enterprise/deployment) for how a deployment is set up.
+
+LanceDB's storage layer is built on modular, disk-first components. That design makes it flexible enough to run across local NVMe, EBS, EFS, and any object store that exposes an S3-compatible API. It also supports region-specific backends such as [Tencent COS](/storage/configuration#tencent-cos) and cache-acceleration layers such as [GooseFS](/storage/configuration#goosefs).
+
+Choosing a backend is a balance between latency, scalability, cost, and operational complexity. Use this guide to pick the right fit for your workload.
+
+## Choosing a backend {#choosing}
+
+![](/static/assets/images/storage/lancedb_storage_tradeoffs.png)
+
+When architecting your system, ask yourself:
+
+- **Latency**: How fast do I need results? What do the p50 and p95 look like?
+- **Scalability**: Can I scale data volume and QPS easily?
+- **Cost**: What is the all-in cost of storage plus serving?
+- **Reliability/Availability**: How will replication and disaster recovery work?
+
+### Comparison {#comparison}
+
+Below is a high-level comparison ordered from lowest cost to lowest latency.
+
+### 1\. Object storage (S3, GCS, Azure Blob) {#1-object-storage-s3-gcs-azure-blob}
+- **Latency**: Highest; expect hundreds of milliseconds and higher p95.
+- **Scalability**: Effectively unlimited storage; QPS bound by concurrency limits.
+- **Cost**: Lowest overall.
+- **Reliability/Availability**: Highly available, backed by cloud SLAs.
+
+LanceDB separates storage and compute and writes immutable fragments, making it a strong fit for stateless, horizontally scalable deployments.
+
+<Note>
+**Concurrent writers on S3**
+
+S3 and S3 Express now support atomic writes natively, so LanceDB handles concurrent writers against the same table out-of-the-box — no external commit coordinator is required. Bucket-level [server-side encryption with KMS](/storage/configuration#server-side-encryption-with-kms) and [S3 Express One Zone](/storage/configuration#s3-express) are also supported on this tier.
+</Note>
+
+### 2\. File storage (EFS, GCS Filestore, Azure File) {#2-file-storage-efs-gcs-filestore-azure-file}
+- **Latency**: Better than object storage; p95 under ~&lt;100ms is typical.
+- **Scalability**: High, but limited by provisioned IOPS per volume.
+- **Cost**: More than object storage but cheaper than in-memory options; cold data can tier down automatically.
+- **Reliability/Availability**: Highly available; replication/backup must be managed separately.
+
+Keep a copy of data in object storage for disaster recovery. If zero downtime is required, provision a second network file system with replicated data.
+
+### 3\. Third-party storage (e.g., MinIO, WekaFS) {#3-third-party-storage-e-g--minio-wekafs}
+
+- **Latency**: Similar to EFS; typically under &lt;100ms.
+- **Scalability**: Determined by the chosen vendor’s cluster sizing.
+- **Cost**: Higher than S3; may edge above EFS at larger scales.
+- **Reliability/Availability**: Shareable across many nodes; replication depends on vendor capabilities.
+
+### 4\. Block storage (EBS, GCP Persistent Disk, Azure Managed Disk) {#4-block-storage-ebs-gcp-persistent-disk-azure-managed-disk}
+- **Latency**: Near-local performance; often &lt;30ms.
+- **Scalability**: Not shareable across instances; shard or copy data when scaling.
+- **Cost**: Higher than networked file systems, plus potential I/O charges.
+- **Reliability/Availability**: Persists through instance restarts; backups and sharding must be managed.
+
+### 5\. Local storage (SSD, NVMe) {#5-local-storage-ssd-nvme}
+- **Latency**: Fastest; p95 often under &lt;10ms.
+- **Scalability**: Hard to scale in cloud environments; requires sharding or additional copies for higher QPS.
+- **Cost**: Highest; tightly coupling compute and storage makes horizontal scaling difficult.
+- **Reliability/Availability**: Data is tied to the instance; backups must be rigorous.
+
+Use local disk only when you need extremely low latency and are comfortable owning the operational overhead.
+
+### File-format choices that interact with the backend {#file-format-choices}
+
+A few `storage_options` keys shape new tables in ways that depend on the backend you picked above. They are documented in full on [below](#new-table-configuration); the architecture-level summary is:
+
+- `new_table_enable_v2_manifest_paths` matters most on object stores, where opening a table with many versions is dominated by listing cost. Leave it off for backward compatibility with clients older than LanceDB 0.10.0.
+- `new_table_enable_stable_row_ids` keeps row IDs stable across compaction, delete, and merge. The choice is independent of the backend but affects any system that joins on row ID.
+- `new_table_data_storage_version` selects the on-disk format. The default `stable` is recommended for all new tables; pick `legacy` only when older readers must keep working.

+
+### Configuring a backend {#configuring}
+
+<Note>
+**LanceDB Enterprise storage configuration**
+
+In LanceDB Enterprise, you connect with `db://...` and the cluster owns the storage credentials, so `storage_options` are not passed at runtime. Cloud auth is set at deployment time. For federated databases, the namespace service vends per-request credentials automatically. See the [quickstart](/quickstart), [Enterprise overview](/enterprise/), and [Azure deployment guide](/enterprise/deployment/azure) for the Enterprise flow.
+</Note>
+
+### Object stores {#object-stores}
+
+LanceDB supports AWS S3 (and compatible stores), Azure Blob Storage, and Google Cloud Storage. The URI scheme in your `connect` call selects the backend.

+
+### Configuration options {#configuration-options}
+
+When running inside the target cloud with correct IAM bindings, LanceDB often needs no extra configuration. When running elsewhere, provide credentials via environment variables or `storage_options`.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {PyStorageConnectTimeout}
+    </CodeBlock>
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="TypeScript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsStorageConnectTimeout}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Info>
+**Storage option casing**
+
+Keys are case-insensitive. Use lowercase in `storage_options` and uppercase in environment variables.
+</Info>
+
+Table-level `storage_options` inherit every key from the connection and override on a per-key basis. Pass them to `create_table` or `open_table` for options that should apply to a single table:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {PyStorageTableTimeout}
+    </CodeBlock>
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="TypeScript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsStorageTableTimeout}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Tip>
+**Inspect a table's own options**
+
+On `AsyncTable`, `await table.initial_storage_options()` returns the options passed when the table was opened, and `await table.latest_storage_options()` returns them after any provider-driven refresh. Neither includes what the table inherits from its connection's `storage_options`, which still apply. The deprecated `table.storage_options()` method will be removed in a future release.
+</Tip>
+
+#### General object store options {#general-object-store-options}
+
+| Key | Description |
+| :-- | :-- |
+| `allow_http` | Allow non-TLS connections. |
+| `allow_invalid_certificates` | Skip certificate validation for TLS connections. |
+| `connect_timeout` | Timeout for the connect phase. |
+| `timeout` | Timeout for the full request. |
+| `user_agent` | User agent string sent with requests. |
+| `proxy_url` | Proxy URL to route requests through. |
+| `proxy_ca_certificate` | PEM-formatted CA certificate for proxy connections. |
+| `proxy_excludes` | Comma-separated hosts that bypass the proxy (domains or CIDR). |
+| `download_retry_count` | Number of retries when downloading objects. |
+| `client_max_retries` | Maximum retries for object-store client requests. |
+| `client_retry_timeout` | Total retry timeout (seconds) for object-store client requests. |
+
+<Info>
+**Option support varies by backend**
+
+These are commonly used options. Cloud-specific keys (for example `region`, `endpoint`, `service_account`, and Azure credential keys) are backend-dependent and can be provided in `storage_options` as needed.
+</Info>
+
+#### New table configuration {#new-table-configuration}
+
+These options control the Lance file format and features used when creating new tables. Pass them via `storage_options` at connection or table level. They are evaluated only at table creation; setting them on an existing connection does not rewrite or alter tables that already exist.
+
+| Key | Values | Default | Description |
+| :-- | :-- | :-- | :-- |
+| `new_table_data_storage_version` | `legacy`, `stable` | `stable` | Lance file format version for new tables. Use `legacy` for backward compatibility with older clients, or `stable` for the current format with better performance. |
+| `new_table_enable_v2_manifest_paths` | `true`, `false` | `false` | Use v2 manifest path naming. Requires LanceDB >= 0.10.0 to read. |
+| `new_table_enable_stable_row_ids` | `true`, `false` | `false` | Keep row IDs stable across compaction, delete, and merge operations. |

+![](/static/assets/images/storage/aws.jpg)
+
+Set `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, and optionally `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN` as environment variables or pass them in `storage_options`. Region is optional for AWS but required for most S3-compatible stores.
+
+Minimum permissions usually include `s3:PutObject`, `s3:GetObject`, `s3:DeleteObject`, `s3:ListBucket`, and `s3:GetBucketLocation` scoped to the relevant bucket/prefix.

+**Clean up failed multipart uploads**
+
+LanceDB aborts multipart uploads on graceful shutdown, but crashes can leave incomplete uploads. Add an S3 lifecycle rule to delete in-progress uploads after a few days.
+</Tip>
+
+### Server-side encryption with KMS {#server-side-encryption-with-kms}
+
+To encrypt at rest with an AWS KMS key, set `aws_server_side_encryption` to `aws:kms` and `aws_sse_kms_key_id` to the key ID or ARN. The same options apply at connection or table level and combine with bucket-level default encryption.

+
+Modern machine learning models can be trained to convert raw data into embeddings, which are vectors
+of floating point numbers. The position of an embedding in vector space captures the semantics of
+the data, so vectors that are close to each other are considered similar.
+
+LanceDB provides an embedding function registry in OSS as well as its Enterprise versions
+([see below](#embeddings-in-lancedb-enterprise))
+that automatically generates vector embeddings during data ingestion. Query text is embedded
+automatically too, in the client, for local and Enterprise tables alike, with SDK-specific query
+ergonomics. The API abstracts
+embedding generation, allowing you to focus on your application logic.
+
+## Embedding Registry {#embedding-registry}
+
+You can get a supported embedding function from the registry, and then use it in your table schema. 
+Once configured, the embedding function will automatically generate embeddings when you insert data
+into the table. Query-time behavior depends on SDK: Python/TypeScript can query with text directly,
+while Rust examples typically compute query embeddings explicitly before vector search.
+
+In the Rust examples, replace `your-openai-api-key` with your OpenAI API key. In
+application code, load credentials from environment variables or a secrets manager.

+
+### Using an embedding function {#using-an-embedding-function}
+
+Create an embedding function before you attach it to table or schema metadata. Python and TypeScript fetch
+provider implementations from the embedding registry, while Rust constructs the provider embedding function
+directly and registers it on the connection before using it in an `EmbeddingDefinition`.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="python" icon="python">
+    {PyCreateEmbeddingFunction}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="typescript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsCreateEmbeddingFunction}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsCreateEmbeddingFunction}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Provider configuration is SDK-specific, so copy the option names from the provider page for the SDK you use.
+For example, the OpenAI model is selected with `name` in Python, `model` in TypeScript, and the model argument
+to `OpenAIEmbeddingFunction::new_with_model` in Rust.
+
+| Concept | Python | TypeScript | Rust |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Model | `name="text-embedding-3-small"` | `{ model: "text-embedding-3-small" }` | `new_with_model(api_key, "text-embedding-3-small")` |
+| Retry count | `max_retries=7` | Provider/client-specific | Provider/client-specific |
+| API key | `api_key="..."`, environment variables, or `$var:` | `apiKey: "..."`, environment variables, or `$var:` | Constructor argument or environment variable |
+| Device | Provider-specific, for example `device="cuda"` | Provider-specific | Provider-specific |
+
+When ingesting data with an embedding definition, LanceDB only computes the vector column if that
+column is missing from the incoming batch or present but entirely null. If you provide any non-null
+values in the vector column, LanceDB treats the column as user-supplied and does not backfill the
+remaining rows in that batch.
+
+For reusable runtime configuration, the registry also supports `$var:` placeholders in embedding-function config.
+This is useful for provider secrets and environment-specific settings in Python and TypeScript.
+
+- Python uses `registry.set_var(...)`.
+- TypeScript uses `registry.setVar(...)`.
+- You can provide a fallback with `$var:name:default`.
+- Sensitive values such as API keys should be passed through registry variables instead of hardcoding them in config.

+
+## Multiple embedding columns {#multiple-embedding-columns}
+
+A single table can include more than one embedding definition when you want to store multiple semantic views
+of the same data, or generate embeddings from different source columns. In practice, each embedding definition
+maps one source column to one vector column, and the table schema can contain multiple such pairs.
+
+The exact setup differs by SDK, but the underlying pattern is the same: define a distinct source/vector pair
+for each embedding function you want applied during ingest.
+
+In TypeScript, automatic query embedding currently uses the first embedding function stored in the
+table metadata. If a table has multiple embedding definitions and you need to query a specific vector
+column, compute the query embedding explicitly and pass the vector to the search builder.
+
+## Embedding model providers {#embedding-model-providers}
+
+LanceDB supports most popular embedding providers.
+
+### Text embeddings {#text-embeddings}
+
+| Provider | Model ID | Default Model |
+|----------|----------|---------------|
+| OpenAI | `openai` | `text-embedding-ada-002` |
+| Sentence Transformers | `sentence-transformers` | `all-MiniLM-L6-v2` |
+| Hugging Face | `huggingface` | `colbert-ir/colbertv2.0` |
+| Cohere | `cohere` | `embed-english-v3.0` |
+| ... | ... | ... |
+
+### Multimodal embedding {#multimodal-embedding}
+
+| Provider | Model ID | Supported Inputs |
+|----------|----------|------------------|
+| OpenCLIP | `open-clip` | Text, Images |
+| ImageBind | `imagebind` | Text, Images, Audio, Video |
+| ... | ... | ... |
+
+You can find all supported embedding models in the [integrations](/integrations/embedding) section.
+
+## Embeddings in LanceDB Enterprise {#embeddings-in-lancedb-enterprise}
+<Badge color="red">Enterprise</Badge>
+
+In LanceDB Enterprise, embedding generation during data ingestion is client-side and the resulting vectors are
+stored on the remote table.
+
+<Info>
+The Enterprise server does not currently generate embeddings from query text on its own. Any automatic
+query-time embedding happens on the client side.
+</Info>
+
+### How string queries are interpreted {#how-string-queries-are-interpreted}
+
+For the Python remote client, `table.search("hello")` can take two different paths:
+
+- If the selected vector column has embedding metadata
+  (i.e., the table schema stores the source-column, vector-column, and
+  embedding-function mapping created from fields like `SourceField()` and
+  `VectorField()` during table creation), then the embeddings are computed in the Python client process.
+  The client uses the same local LanceDB embedding registry used by OSS tables to
+  reconstruct the embedding function from schema metadata, compute the query vector in
+  the client process, and send that vector to Enterprise for search.
+  ```python
+  result = table.search("hello").limit(1).to_list()
+  # The Python client computes the query embedding locally, then sends a vector search.
+  ```
+- If the table does not have embedding metadata for that search, `table.search("hello")` in `auto` mode is
+  treated as an FTS query instead.
+  ```python
+  result = table.search("hello").limit(5).to_list()
+  # In auto mode this is treated as an FTS query, not a vector query.
+  ```
+
+If you want explicit vector or hybrid behavior and the client cannot resolve an embedding function from the
+table metadata, generate the query embedding yourself and pass the vector directly.
+
+TypeScript has a similar string-query distinction in `auto` mode: if no embedding providers have been
+registered in the process, `search("text")` falls back to FTS. Once an embedding provider has been
+imported and registered, the client expects table embedding metadata for automatic vector search and
+raises an error if the table has none.
+
+The manual query-embedding flow below works across Enterprise SDKs and is an explicit path you can use when you
+want full control over query-time behavior.

+LanceDB will automatically vectorize the data both at ingestion and query time. All you need to do is specify which model to use.
+Popular embedding models like OpenAI, Hugging Face, Sentence Transformers, CLIP, and more, are supported.
+
+## Step 1: Import Required Libraries {#step-1-import-required-libraries}
+
+First, import the necessary LanceDB components:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+import lancedb
+from lancedb.pydantic import LanceModel, Vector
+from lancedb.embeddings import get_registry
+```
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="typescript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsQuickstartImports}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+- `lancedb`: The main database connection and operations
+- `LanceModel`: Pydantic model for defining table schemas
+- `Vector`: Field type for storing vector embeddings
+- `get_registry()`: Access to the embedding function registry. It has all the supported as well as custom embedding functions registered by the user
+- TypeScript uses `lancedb.embedding.getRegistry()` and `lancedb.embedding.LanceSchema()` for the same registry/schema workflow
+- In TypeScript, import the provider module before calling `getRegistry().get(...)`; the provider import is what registers names such as `"huggingface"` or `"openai"`
+
+## Step 2: Connect to LanceDB {#step-2-connect-to-lancedb}
+
+Establish a connection to your LanceDB OSS directory or Enterprise cluster:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+# Enter your LanceDB connection URI for OSS or Enterprise here
+db = lancedb.connect(...)
+```
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="typescript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsQuickstartConnect}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+## Step 3: Initialize the Embedding Function {#step-3-initialize-the-embedding-function}
+
+Choose and configure your embedding model:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+model = get_registry().get("sentence-transformers").create(name="BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5", )
+```
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="typescript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsQuickstartInitModel}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+This creates an embedding function from the local embedding registry. The Python snippet uses the
+`sentence-transformers` provider with the BGE model; the TypeScript snippet uses the Transformers-backed
+`huggingface` provider. You can:
+- Change `"sentence-transformers"` to other providers like `"openai"`, `"cohere"`, etc.
+- Modify the model name for different embedding models
+- Set `device="cuda"` for GPU acceleration if available
+
+## Step 4: Define Your Schema {#step-4-define-your-schema}
+
+Create a Pydantic model that defines your table structure:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+class Words(LanceModel):
+    text: str = model.SourceField()  
+    vector: Vector(model.ndims()) = model.VectorField()
+```
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="typescript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsQuickstartSchema}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+- `SourceField()`: This field will be embedded
+- `VectorField()`: This stores the embeddings
+- `model.ndims()`: Sets vector dimensions for your model
+- In TypeScript, use `model.sourceField(...)` and `model.vectorField()` inside `LanceSchema(...)`
+
+## Step 5: Create Table and Ingest Data {#step-5-create-table-and-ingest-data}
+
+Create a table with your schema and add data:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+table = db.create_table("words", schema=Words)
+table.add([
+    {"text": "hello world"},
+    {"text": "goodbye world"}
+])
+```
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="typescript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsQuickstartCreateTable}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+The `table.add()` call automatically:
+- Takes the text from each document
+- Generates embeddings using your chosen model
+- Stores both the original text and the vector embeddings
+
+If your input already includes the vector column, automatic embedding only runs when that column is
+absent or entirely null for the batch. Partially supplied vectors are treated as manual data, so
+LanceDB preserves them instead of filling only the missing rows.
+
+## Step 6: Query with Automatic Embedding {#step-6-query-with-automatic-embedding}
+
+Note: On LanceDB Enterprise, the server does not generate embeddings from query text. In the Python remote
+client, `table.search("greetings")` can still work when the table schema includes embedding metadata, because
+the client computes the query embedding before sending the vector search. If there is no embedding metadata for
+that search, `search("greetings")` in `auto` mode is treated as FTS instead.
+
+Search your data using natural language queries:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+query = "greetings"
+actual = table.search(query).limit(1).to_pydantic(Words)[0]
+print(actual.text)
+```
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="typescript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsQuickstartQuery}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+The search process:
+1. Automatically converts your query text to embeddings
+2. Finds the most similar vectors in your table
+3. Returns the matching documents
+
+Automatic text search depends on the table's embedding metadata. If the client cannot reconstruct an
+embedding function from that metadata, compute the query embedding yourself and search with the
+vector directly.

+    Requests to a deployment carry an API key or an OAuth token, whichever it is
+    configured to accept. Embedded LanceDB has no server to sign in to; see
+    [Architecture](/architecture).
+---
+
+A deployment authenticates every request before
+[authorization](/governance/authorization) decides what it may do, against a
+`db://` remote table, in one of two ways:
+
+- **API keys** -- a long-lived shared secret passed as `api_key` on connect. Works in every SDK.
+- **OAuth 2.0** -- short-lived bearer tokens obtained from your identity provider, refreshed automatically by the client.
+
+OAuth is the recommended option when you want to rotate credentials centrally,
+plug into an existing identity provider, or run on Azure with managed
+identities so no secret material lives on the client.
+
+## API key {#api-key}
+
+Pass the API key from your Enterprise tenant on `connect`. This works with
+both the synchronous and asynchronous Python clients, as well as TypeScript
+and Rust.
+
+```python
+import lancedb
+
+db = lancedb.connect(
+    uri="db://your-database-uri",
+    api_key="your-api-key",
+    region="us-east-1",
+    host_override="https://your-enterprise-endpoint.com",
+)
+```
+
+An API key belongs in the environment rather than in source. See
+[Database](/management/database#deployment) for the connection options.
+
+## OAuth {#oauth}
+
+The async Python client and the TypeScript client can obtain bearer tokens
+from an OIDC issuer and attach them to every request. Token acquisition,
+caching, and refresh are handled inside the client -- your application code
+only provides the configuration.
+
+A deployment accepts these tokens only when its administrator has configured
+it with your identity provider. Ask them for the issuer URL, client ID and
+scopes to use.
+
+<Info>
+In Python, OAuth is supported through `lancedb.connect_async`. The synchronous
+`connect` entry point continues to use API key authentication for `db://`
+URIs. In TypeScript, `lancedb.connect` accepts `oauthConfig` directly.
+</Info>
+
+### Supported flows {#supported-flows}
+
+`OAuthFlowType` selects how the client acquires tokens:
+
+| Flow | Python value | TypeScript value | When to use |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Client Credentials | `OAuthFlowType.CLIENT_CREDENTIALS` | `OAuthFlowType.ClientCredentials` | Service-to-service / machine-to-machine. Requires a client ID and client secret registered with your identity provider. |
+| Azure Managed Identity | `OAuthFlowType.AZURE_MANAGED_IDENTITY` | `OAuthFlowType.AzureManagedIdentity` | Workloads running on Azure compute (VMs, AKS, App Service, Container Apps). Tokens are fetched from the Azure IMDS endpoint, so no client secret is stored on the client. |
+
+### Configure OAuth {#configure-oauth}
+
+Build an OAuth config and pass it on connect. Use `oauth_config` in Python and
+`oauthConfig` in TypeScript.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+import lancedb
+from lancedb.remote import OAuthConfig, OAuthFlowType
+
+# Client Credentials (service-to-service)

+### Configuration reference {#configuration-reference}
+
+The same configuration is available in both SDKs. Python uses `snake_case`
+field names; TypeScript uses `camelCase`.
+
+| Python field / TypeScript field | Required | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `issuer_url` / `issuerUrl` | Yes | OIDC issuer URL or OAuth authority URL. For Azure, use `https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant_id}/v2.0`. |
+| `client_id` / `clientId` | Yes | Application / client ID registered with your identity provider. |
+| `scopes` | Yes | List of OAuth scopes to request. For Azure managed identity, provide exactly one scope or resource, for example `["api://your-app-id/.default"]`. |
+| `flow` | No | Selects the OAuth flow. Defaults to Client Credentials. |
+| `client_secret` / `clientSecret` | Conditional | Required for Client Credentials. Redacted from the config's `repr` (Python) and `Debug` output (TypeScript native binding) so it does not leak into logs. |
+| `managed_identity_client_id` / `managedIdentityClientId` | No | Client ID of a user-assigned managed identity. Only used with Azure Managed Identity; omit for system-assigned identities. |
+| `refresh_buffer_secs` / `refreshBufferSecs` | No | How many seconds before token expiry to proactively refresh. Defaults to 300. Keep this well below the token TTL -- setting it greater than or equal to the TTL forces a refresh on every request. |
+
+<Warning>
+Treat the client secret like any other production credential. Load it from a
+secret manager or environment variable rather than committing it to source
+control. Both SDKs deliberately omit the secret from their debug/repr output
+so accidental log lines do not expose the value.
+</Warning>
+
+Embedded LanceDB has nothing to authenticate to -- your process opens the files
+directly, and the object store's own credentials are the only gate.

+  enterprise: available
+  summary: >-
+    Both offerings support computed columns. Enterprise requires the deployment to enable them; the embedded library evaluates them in your process.
+---
+
+A computed column is declared with an expression and starts with no values.
+Declaring it is cheap on any table size, because nothing is evaluated until
+[a refresh](/feature-engineering/refresh-column) asks for it.
+
+## Add a computed column {#declare}
+
+```python
+import lancedb
+
+db = lancedb.connect("./.lancedb")
+table = db.create_table("computed_demo", [{"x": 1}, {"x": 2}])
+
+table.add_columns(computed={"doubled": "x * 2"})
+# AddColumnsResult(version=2)
+```
+
+That commits a new table version with the column present and empty. It is an
+ordinary table version, so the usual [versioning](/management/table#versioning) applies --
+including that you can travel back to before the column existed.
+
+## Compute now or on refresh {#computed-vs-transforms}
+
+`add_columns` takes either, and the difference matters:
+
+- **SQL expressions in `transforms`** are evaluated *now*, for every row, as
+  part of the call. Good for a small table, or a column you want populated
+  immediately.
+  {/* Draft for the Functions release:
+  A `FunctionApplication` passed through `transforms` instead
+  declares empty Function-bound columns, which a refresh fills; that needs a
+  deployment with Functions enabled, and the embedded library refuses it. */}
+- **`computed`** stores the expression and evaluates nothing. The column is
+  committed empty and filled later by
+  [`refresh_column`](/feature-engineering/refresh-column).
+
+`computed` and `transforms` cannot be combined in one call. Reach for `computed` when the table is
+large enough that you would rather control when the work happens.
+
+## The expression {#expressions}
+
+The expression is SQL, evaluated over the row. It can reference any column in
+the table, including another computed column:
+
+```python
+table.add_columns(computed={
+    "power_score": "cast(x as double) / 2.0",
+    "is_strong":   "power_score > 0.5",
+})
+```
+
+Declaration order is dependency order -- a computed column may reference one
+declared earlier in the same mapping, but not one declared after it.
+
+The functions available are the ones the
+[SQL dialect](/sql/functions) documents.
+
+A literal in the expression has to fit the column it meets: `x / 2.0` is
+refused when `x` is an integer column, so write `cast(x as double) / 2.0`.
+
+<Warning>
+In LanceDB Enterprise, keep the expression to top-level columns. A column
+refresh can fail on an expression that reads a field inside a struct, such as
+`stats.magic + stats.strength`, which the embedded library computes. Try a new
+expression on a small table first.
+</Warning>
+
+## Change columns used by an expression {#input-constraints}
+
+<Warning>
+While a computed column's declaration references another column, that column
+cannot be renamed, retyped, or dropped. Drop the computed column first
+if you need to change one of its inputs.
+</Warning>
+
+This is worth knowing before deriving a column from something you expect to
+reshape later. Dropping the computed column releases the constraint.
+
+## Filling with Python instead of SQL {#functions}
+
+<Badge color="red">Enterprise</Badge>
+
+When the value cannot be expressed in SQL -- an embedding, a model call, an
+image decode -- [Geneva](/geneva), the feature engineering package for LanceDB
+Enterprise, fills the column with a Python function instead.

+For example, compute a product score from existing fields without reading
+and rewriting the table in your application.

+Lance can write the new columns without rewriting the existing columns.

+## Add derived columns {#add-derived-columns}
+
+You can add new columns that are derived from existing data using SQL expressions.
+For feature engineering on large existing tables, group related derived features into
+one `add_columns` operation instead of running many separate writes. This creates one
+new table version for the schema change and computes the new columns from the existing
+rows, which avoids growing the table's version history with many small updates.

+

+In LanceDB Enterprise, every operation here also has a SQL form -- see [DDL](/sql/ddl/table#alter) to declare a column and [REFRESH](/sql/dml/refresh) to fill it.
+</Note>
+
+## Computed columns and materialized views {#the-shape}
+
+Computed columns and materialized views both keep derived data in the
+lakehouse, but they fill it differently, and the difference decides what a
+refresh costs:
+
+| | Computed column | Materialized view |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Declaring or creating it | records the expression; no values are written | runs the query and stores its rows, unless created empty |
+| A refresh | fills rows with no value and recomputes rows whose inputs changed | applies source changes or rebuilds the view, depending on the query and SDK version |
+| A refresh when nothing changed | fills nothing | can be a no-op when incremental refresh is supported |
+| In LanceDB Enterprise | runs as a [job](/basics/jobs) | runs as a server-side materialization job |
+
+### Computed columns fill incrementally {#incremental}
+
+A [computed column](/feature-engineering/add-computed-column) separates
+**declaring** from **filling**:
+
+- Declaring is cheap and immediate. It records the expression in the schema
+  and commits a new table version, with no data written. It does not evaluate the expression over existing rows.
+- Fill the column with a separate refresh call that you can retry. In LanceDB
+  Enterprise, submit the refresh as a [job](/basics/jobs) and track its progress.
+
+**Refresh new and changed rows.** A
+[refresh](/feature-engineering/refresh-column) gives values to rows that lack
+them and recomputes rows whose inputs changed since they were computed. It
+leaves the rest alone, so calling it twice is not twice the work, and appending
+rows means the next refresh handles only the new ones.
+
+**Computed values update when you refresh.** If a column derives from `price` and a row's
+`price` is later updated, the derived value keeps its old value until the next
+refresh recomputes it. Schedule refreshes after changing the source data when consumers need
+up-to-date features.
+
+### Materialized views store query results {#views}
+
+A [materialized view](/feature-engineering/materialized-views) has no separate
+declaration step: creating one runs its query and stores the result, so the view
+is ready to read. A refresh updates those stored results. Python SDK 0.40.0 can apply
+changes incrementally for supported queries; other queries require a full rebuild.
+See [refresh behavior](/feature-engineering/materialized-views#incremental) for
+version-specific details.
+
+Enterprise runs materialization on remote compute. Use the SDK and refresh
+options supported by your server version; see
+[Enterprise refreshes](/feature-engineering/materialized-views#availability).
+
+## Choose a feature engineering workflow {#which-one}
+
+| | What it produces | Filled by | Available |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| [Computed column](/feature-engineering/add-computed-column) | a new column on an existing table | a SQL expression | OSS and Enterprise |
+| [Materialized view](/feature-engineering/materialized-views) | a new table derived by a query | a refresh | OSS and Enterprise |

+*/}
+
+**Computed columns** are the common case: a column declared with a SQL
+expression, filled by [a refresh](/feature-engineering/refresh-column).
+
+**Materialized views** derive a whole table -- a filtered, projected, or
+aggregated view of a source -- and bring it up to date on each refresh. The
+result is an ordinary table: queryable, indexable, searchable.

+embedding a column, calling a model, decoding an image. It defines features as
+Python functions and backfills them as distributed jobs.
+

+*/}
+
+A materialized view can select computed columns.
+{/* Draft for the Functions release: A computed column can be filled by a registered function. */}
+
+## Where the work runs {#where}
+
+<Badge color="red">Enterprise</Badge>
+
+Locally, a refresh runs in your process. With LanceDB Enterprise it runs across the
+cluster, and the API reflects that: `refresh_column` raises, and
+`refresh_column_async` returns a [job](/basics/jobs) handle instead. Computed
+columns are off by default in LanceDB Enterprise, and its administrator has to enable
+them before a column can be declared there.
+
+```python
+job = table.refresh_column_async("power_score")
+result = job.wait()
+result.rows_assigned
+```
+
+A backfill over a large table can therefore be started, left, and checked on
+from a different process -- the connection does not have to stay open.
+
+Enterprise manages the compute for the refresh. You still control when to
+submit it; declaring a computed column does not schedule recurring refreshes.
+{/* Draft for the Functions release: That is also why a function must declare the environment it needs. */}
+
+## Recovering from a failure {#failures}
+
+{/*
+Draft for the Functions release.
+
+A function that raises fails the job. There is no per-row retry or skip policy
+in the function definition, so a function calling a flaky external service
+should handle that itself, inside the function body.
+*/}
+
+When a refresh fails, fix the cause and run the refresh
+again. The new refresh fills what is still empty or stale. How much of the
+failed run was kept depends on where it ran (see
+[Refresh a column](/feature-engineering/refresh-column#failures)), and a retry
+can recompute values that were already written, so do not count on it costing
+only the rows that did not complete.

+    PyMaterializedViewCreate as MaterializedViewCreate,
+    PyMaterializedViewRefresh as MaterializedViewRefresh,
+} from '/snippets/materialized_view.mdx';
+
+A materialized view stores the result of a query as a table. Use it to keep a
+filtered or transformed dataset that you can query, index and search repeatedly.
+Refresh the view after its source data changes.
+
+<Note>
+In SQL this is [`REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW`](/sql/refresh#refresh-materialized-view).
+</Note>
+
+## Create and refresh {#create-and-refresh}
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+{MaterializedViewCreate}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+Creating the view computes its rows, so it is ready to read. Pass
+`with_no_data=True` to create it empty instead. Later changes to the source
+reach the view through a refresh:
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+{MaterializedViewRefresh}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+The example works with Python SDK 0.40.0. It creates the source with stable
+row IDs, which that release requires for ordinary materialized-view sources.
+
+`select` takes column names, `(alias, expression)` pairs, or a dict of the same.
+Omitting it selects every source column, expanded against the schema as it was
+at creation time. `where` filters source rows; `limit` caps the view.
+
+## Prepare the source table {#stable-row-ids}
+
+In Python SDK 0.40.0, create the source with
+`storage_options={"new_table_enable_stable_row_ids": "true"}`, as the example
+above does. Stable row IDs let the view track source rows across updates and
+compaction. Set this option when creating the table; it cannot be added later.
+
+A source with an LSM write specification or retained, uncompacted write-ahead-log
+rows is not accepted by the local materialized-view implementation.
+
+## Refresh behavior {#incremental}
+
+With Python SDK 0.40.0, a refresh applies source changes incrementally when the
+query supports it, and rebuilds the view otherwise. In the example, adding Bea
+writes one new view row. Refreshing again without source changes writes none.
+Use `refresh(full=True)` to force a rebuild.
+
+`rows_written` counts rows written by that refresh, not all rows in the view.
+Use `view.table.count_rows()` to get the total. Pass `source_version=N` to
+refresh against a particular source version instead of the latest.
+
+<Note>
+Refresh behavior has changed between SDK versions. The earlier 0.40.0b13
+development build rebuilt every local view on refresh and did not accept
+`full`; 0.39.0 created views empty. Use the reference for your installed SDK
+when maintaining an existing pipeline.
+</Note>
+
+## Enterprise refreshes {#availability}
+
+<Badge color="red">Enterprise</Badge>
+
+Enterprise runs materialized-view creation and refresh on remote compute.
+For SQL, see [`CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW`](/sql/ddl/materialized-view) and
+[`REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW`](/sql/dml/refresh#refresh-materialized-view).
+
+Use an SDK version supported by your Enterprise deployment. Materialized-view
+APIs and stored definitions have changed across releases; a local SDK example
+alone does not establish compatibility with an older server. Before upgrading
+an existing pipeline, confirm the supported refresh options and whether its
+views need to be recreated with your administrator.
+
+Stable row IDs and feature configuration for Enterprise sources are managed on
+the server. The source-table storage option in the local example does not
+configure the Enterprise deployment, and Python SDK 0.40.0's `create_table` on a
+`db://` connection does not accept `storage_options`: leave it out, and confirm
+with your administrator that the deployment gives new tables stable row IDs.
+
+`list_materialized_views` requests the server's view listing. On a local
+database it reads table schemas to find views.
+
+## Working with the view {#working-with-the-view}
+
+`view.table` is the underlying table, for querying, indexing, or search.
+`view.definition` is the recorded query: the select list, predicate, and
+limit. Use it to inspect the query without inferring it from the rows. Both are properties; on an async view, the definition is read
+with `await view.definition()`.
+
+An existing view is reopened with `db.open_materialized_view(name)`.

+    Both offerings support column refresh. The embedded library runs it in your process; Enterprise runs it as a server job that must be enabled for your Enterprise cluster.
+---
+
+Refresh a [computed column](/feature-engineering/add-computed-column) to fill
+new rows and recompute values whose inputs changed. The example below continues
+with the `doubled` column from the computed-column guide.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+table.refresh_column("doubled")
+# RefreshColumnResult(rows_filled=2, version=4)
+
+table.to_arrow().sort_by("x").to_pandas()
+#    x  doubled
+# 0  1        2
+# 1  2        4
+```
+
+```sql SQL
+REFRESH COLUMN doubled ON my_table
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+The refresh commits ordinary table versions -- the values, then a
+metadata-only record of the inputs they were computed from -- so
+[versioning](/management/table#versioning) applies to it like any other write.
+
+<Note>
+The SQL form is [`REFRESH COLUMN`](/sql/refresh#refresh-column), with the same resource options.
+</Note>
+
+## What a refresh recomputes {#idempotent}
+
+A refresh fills rows that have no value and recomputes rows whose inputs
+changed since they were computed. Every other row is left alone, so a second
+refresh with nothing changed does nothing. This supports two common workflows.
+
+**Appending is cheap.** Rows added since the last refresh are filled by the
+next one; filled rows whose inputs are unchanged are skipped. Backfilling a
+column and then ingesting more data does not mean recomputing the backfill.
+
+**A filled value catches up with its input at the next refresh.** If `doubled`
+derives from `x` and a row's `x` is later updated, `doubled` keeps its old value
+until the next refresh recomputes it.
+
+That is what makes the call idempotent and safe to retry -- but unlike a
+spreadsheet formula, nothing is recomputed until you refresh, so a derived
+column is stale between an update and the next refresh.
+
+## Refreshing part of a table {#partial}
+
+<Badge color="red">Enterprise</Badge> In SQL a refresh can be scoped to a
+predicate, which is useful for filling a slice first and checking it before
+committing to the whole table:
+
+```sql
+REFRESH COLUMN embedding ON documents WHERE created_at > '2026-01-01'
+```
+
+<Note>
+**Enterprise job type:** `computed_refresh` for a SQL-expression column.
+{/* Draft for the Functions release: `function_refresh` for one filled by a registered [function](/management/function). */}
+</Note>
+
+## Run a refresh on Enterprise {#async}
+
+<Badge color="red">Enterprise</Badge>
+
+With an Enterprise cluster that enables computed columns, the refresh runs on the
+cluster. `refresh_column` raises
+there; use `refresh_column_async`, which returns a [job](/basics/jobs) you can
+wait on or poll instead of holding a connection open:
+
+```python
+job = table.refresh_column_async("doubled")
+result = job.wait()
+result.rows_assigned
+# 2
+job.status()
+# 'finished'
+```
+
+Poll with `status()`, resolve with `wait()`. `status()` is a point snapshot and
+does not raise, which is what makes it safe in a loop; `wait()` raises
+`JobFailedError`, `JobCancelledError` or `TimeoutError`.
+
+A long backfill can therefore be started, left, and checked on from a different
+process.
+
+### Configure workers and resources {#resources}
+
+SQL exposes the worker budget directly, which is the lever when a backfill is
+too slow or too expensive:
+
+```sql
+REFRESH COLUMN embedding ON documents
+  WITH (cpu_millis = 8000, memory_bytes = 17179869184, gpu_count = 2)
+```
+
+`num_workers` sets the count instead of a per-worker budget; the two are
+alternatives rather than a pair. `batch_size` controls how many rows a worker
+takes at a time, and `error_policy = 'skip'` continues past rows that fail
+rather than failing the job.
+
+## When a refresh fails {#failures}
+
+What a failure keeps depends on where the refresh ran. `refresh_column` in your
+process writes the column in one commit, so a failure leaves the column as it
+was. A refresh job in LanceDB Enterprise commits finished batches as it goes, so some
+values can remain after a failure.
+
+Either way, recover by fixing the cause and refreshing again. The new refresh
+fills rows that are still empty or whose inputs changed, and normally skips
+values that were kept. That is not guaranteed: a refresh can recompute values
+that were already written -- for example when the record of the inputs they
+were computed from was not saved -- so do not count on a retry costing only the
+rows that did not complete.
+
+{/*
+Draft for the Functions release.
+
+For a column filled by a [function](/management/function), the usual cause is
+the worker environment rather than the data. See
+[environment mismatches](/management/function#mismatch-symptoms) for the
+symptoms, which rarely name their cause.

+    Enterprise supports catalog privileges when its administrator configures enforcement. Embedded LanceDB has no catalog authorization layer: access is whatever the object store allows.
+---
+
+[Authentication](/enterprise/authentication) establishes who is calling.
+Authorization decides what they may do.
+
+An access control entry grants **one privilege** on **one object** to **one
+subject**. Everything below is a consequence of that shape.
+
+## Subjects {#subjects}
+
+A grant is held by one of four kinds of subject, distinguished by a prefix:
+
+| Prefix | Subject |
+| --- | --- |
+| `p:` | a principal, by ID -- `P:` by name |
+| `g:` | a group, by ID -- `G:` by name |
+| `r:` | a role |
+| `a:` | the principal holding an API key, named by the key |
+
+Granting to a group or role rather than a principal is what keeps the entry
+count manageable: a principal's effective privileges are the union of what it
+holds directly and what it inherits.
+
+`P:`, `G:` and `a:` are ways of naming a subject when you make a request. The
+entry is stored against the ID they resolve to, so a grant to `a:` belongs to
+the principal holding that key and carries that principal's full authority,
+not a narrower one.
+
+## Objects {#objects}
+
+Objects are addressed by kind and path:
+
+```
+system
+database:db
+namespace:db:ns
+table:db:ns$table
+view:db:ns$view
+```
+
+{/*
+Draft for the Functions release. Replaces the object kinds above:
+
+```
+system
+database:db
+namespace:db:ns
+table:db:ns$table
+view:db:ns$view
+function:db:ns$function
+secret:db:ns$secret
+```
+*/}
+
+A nested namespace joins its path with `$`, as in `namespace:db:parent$child`
+or `table:db:parent$child$table`.
+
+The hierarchy is not decorative. Reaching a table requires `USAGE` on the
+namespace containing it and on the database containing that -- a grant on the
+table alone is not enough to traverse to it.
+
+## Privileges {#privileges}
+
+| Privilege | Granted on | Allows |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `OWNERSHIP` | any object but `system` | ownership, conveying full authority |
+| `USAGE` | system | listing jobs and their events, and looking up other identities |
+| `USAGE` | database | accessing the namespaces inside |
+| `USAGE` | namespace | accessing the tables inside |
+| `SELECT` | table, view | reading rows |
+| `INSERT` | table | appending rows |
+| `UPDATE` | table | modifying existing rows |
+| `DELETE` | table | deleting rows |
+| `CREATE_DATABASE` | system | creating a database |
+| `CREATE_NAMESPACE` | database, namespace | creating immediate child namespaces |
+| `CREATE_TABLE` | namespace | creating a table in it |
+| `CREATE_MATERIALIZED_VIEW` | namespace | creating a materialized view in it |
+| `CREATE_VIEW` | namespace | creating a non-materialized view in it |
+| `OPERATE` | system | describing and controlling jobs, managing caches, and reading server configuration |
+
+{/*
+Draft for the Functions release. Add these rows to the table above.
+After the `USAGE` row for namespace:
+| `USAGE` | function | binding it to a column, and refreshing a column it computes |
+| `USAGE` | secret | binding and resolving it |
+After the `UPDATE` row for table:
+| `UPDATE` | secret | rotating it, without the right to bind or read it |
+After the `CREATE_VIEW` row:
+| `CREATE_FUNCTION` | namespace | registering a function in it |
+| `CREATE_SECRET` | namespace | creating a secret in it |
+*/}
+
+The four data privileges map onto the four
+[ingestion operations](/ingestion), so a principal that may append but not
+modify is expressed by granting `INSERT` without `UPDATE`.
+
+<Note>
+`CREATE_MATERIALIZED_VIEW` and `CREATE_VIEW` are separate privileges because
+[the two objects differ](/basics/catalog): one stores rows and is refreshed,
+the other stores only a query. Granting the ability to create one does not
+grant the other.
+</Note>
+
+## Creation privileges resolve upward {#upward}
+
+A subtlety worth knowing, because it explains grants that appear to work on
+objects that do not exist yet.
+
+When you create an object, the deployment checks the database and each
+namespace that will contain it. One that **has no owner** -- because it does
+not exist yet, or predates per-object authorization -- is treated as one you are
+creating: the check falls back to `CREATE_DATABASE` on `system` for the
+database, or to `CREATE_NAMESPACE` on its parent for a namespace, and you become
+its owner. One that has an owner needs `USAGE` as usual.
+
+So a principal holding `CREATE_DATABASE` can create a table in a database that
+has not been created -- which is what makes creation possible at all, and why
+an empty ACL set is not the same as a deny. The fallback applies only when
+creating; other operations on a database or namespace need `USAGE` on it.
+
+## Listing grants {#listing}
+
+Entries can be listed filtered by object, by subject, or both:
+
+```
+object  = table:db:ns$documents
+subject = G:data-science
+```
+
+Results paginate through a continuation token. A page holds at most 100 stored
+`(object, subject)` tuples, and a tuple carrying several privileges expands
+into several entries in the response, so a page can return more than 100
+entries: the count reflects privileges rather than tuples. Keep requesting with
+the returned token until a page comes back without one.
+
+Listing by subject answers "what can this team reach"; listing by object
+answers "who can reach this table". Both are worth running before changing a
+grant.

+---
+
+**LanceDB** is a [multimodal lakehouse](https://lancedb.com/blog/multimodal-lakehouse/) for AI teams that need
+one data layer for curation, feature engineering, search and retrieval, and model training.
+It is built on top of [Lance](/basics/lance), an open-source lakehouse format designed for multimodal AI data.
+
+Move from data exploration to model training on one, unified platform without needing to manage a
+fragmented stack of storage, feature, retrieval, and training systems.
+
+## Build better models, faster {#build-better-models-faster}
+
+Training data and experimentation slow down when raw data, metadata, embeddings, features, and governance
+artifacts live in separate systems. LanceDB keeps them together in one versioned multimodal table, so AI teams spend less
+time stitching infrastructure together and more time improving datasets, testing features, and keeping GPUs fed.
+
+![Training data lifecycle: Curation, Feature Engineering, Search and Retrieval, Training](/static/assets/images/overview/training-data-lifecycle.svg)
+
+Use the same table to curate training data, add derived features, retrieve examples, and feed training jobs that rely on expensive GPUs.
+Training workloads can sample, shuffle, and scan projected columns from local storage or object storage, then assemble
+GPU-ready batches from a tagged dataset version.
+
+For a deeper look at how this works in training pipelines, start with [Why LanceDB for training](/training/why-lancedb).
+
+## LanceDB suite {#lancedb-suite}
+
+The LanceDB suite includes LanceDB OSS, an open-source embedded retrieval library, and LanceDB Enterprise,
+a multimodal lakehouse platform for the full AI data lifecycle.
+OSS is easy to set up on a local machine for search and regular-scale workflows. LanceDB Enterprise is built
+for teams that need scale without building bespoke infrastructure for curation,
+feature engineering, search and retrieval, and efficient training data access.
+
+![LanceDB suite: OSS search and Enterprise multimodal lakehouse on Lance format](/static/assets/images/overview/lancedb-suite.svg)

+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="One table for the whole AI data loop">
+    Store images, video, audio, text, annotations, embeddings, and model-generated features together in one schema-enforced table.

+  </Step>
+  <Step title="High-throughput data access for training">
+    Training workloads mix fast random access with high-throughput sequential scans. LanceDB is designed for both, so
+    teams can shuffle data into GPU-ready batches more efficiently, improve input throughput, and iterate on experiments faster.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Fast, versatile search and retrieval">
+    Whether the end user is a human or an agent, LanceDB powers production retrieval workloads such as semantic search,
+    hybrid search, RAG, agent memory, and recommendation systems. Retrieval runs against the same LanceDB tables used
+    for curation, feature engineering, and training workflows.

+    Full-text indexes are built in the embedded library and in LanceDB Enterprise.
+    The embedded library builds the index before the call returns; a
+    deployment builds it in the background.
+---
+import { PyFtsIndexAsync as FtsIndexAsync, PyFtsIndexCreate as FtsIndexCreate, PyFtsIndexNested as FtsIndexNested, PyFtsIndexWait as FtsIndexWait } from '/snippets/indexing.mdx';
+
+LanceDB provides performant full-text search based on BM25, allowing you to incorporate keyword-based search in your retrieval solutions. This page shows
+examples on how to create and configure FTS indexes in LanceDB OSS and Enterprise, using the synchronous and asynchronous APIs.
+
+<Note>
+In LanceDB Enterprise, `create_fts_index` API returns immediately, but index building happens asynchronously.
+</Note>
+
+## Creating FTS Indexes {#creating-fts-indexes}
+
+### Synchronous API {#synchronous-api}
+
+Use `create_fts_index` with synchronous LanceDB connections:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {FtsIndexCreate}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Check FTS index status using the API:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {FtsIndexWait}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+`wait_for_index(...)` waits until the named FTS index exists and `index_stats(...)` reports `num_unindexed_rows == 0`. It can time out if writes keep adding rows faster than the index catches up. If a table has multiple FTS indexes, specify the target text column when querying instead of relying on implicit selection.
+
+### Asynchronous API {#asynchronous-api}
+
+When using async connections (`connect_async`), use `create_index` with the `FTS` configuration:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {FtsIndexAsync}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Note>
+The `create_fts_index` method is not available on `AsyncTable`. Use `create_index` with `FTS` config instead.
+</Note>
+
+The current FTS implementation is Lance-native. Legacy Tantivy-only options, including
+`use_tantivy`, are no longer accepted by the index creation APIs.
+
+## Nested field paths {#nested-field-paths}
+
+FTS indexes can target text leaves inside struct columns by passing a dotted path (for example, `payload.text`). The same path works for [`MatchQuery`](/search/full-text-search) and [`PhraseQuery`](/search/full-text-search), and for the `columns` argument on async `nearest_to_text` queries.
+
+You can point an index at any string leaf nested in a struct, regardless of depth. The struct container itself isn't indexable: you have to name a specific text field.
+
+<CodeGroup>

+LanceDB rejects paths that don't resolve to a text leaf:
+
+- A struct container (for example, `payload`): raises `ValueError: FTS index cannot be created ...`.
+- A non-text leaf such as an integer or float (for example, `payload.count`): raises the same error.
+- A path that doesn't exist in the schema (for example, `payload.missing`): raises `ValueError: Field path ... not found`.
+
+The async API accepts the same dotted paths through `create_index`:
+
+```python Python icon="python"
+from lancedb.index import FTS
+
+await async_table.create_index("payload.text", config=FTS(with_position=True))
+```
+
+## Configuration Options {#configuration-options}
+
+### FTS Parameters {#fts-parameters}
+
+| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
+|:----------|:-----|:--------|:------------|
+| `with_position` | bool | `False` | Store token positions (required for phrase queries) |
+| `base_tokenizer` | str | `"simple"` | Text splitting method (`simple`, `whitespace`, `raw`, `ngram`, `icu`, `jieba/*`, or `lindera/*`) |
+| `language` | str | `"English"` | Language for stemming and stop-word filters. Choose CJK and mixed-language segmentation with `base_tokenizer`. |
+| `max_token_length` | int | `40` | Maximum token size; longer tokens are omitted |
+| `lower_case` | bool | `True` | Lowercase tokens |
+| `stem` | bool | `True` | Apply stemming (`running` → `run`) |
+| `remove_stop_words` | bool | `True` | Drop common stop words |
+| `ascii_folding` | bool | `True` | Normalize accented characters |
+| `custom_stop_words` | list[str] | `None` | Extra stop words to drop in addition to the language defaults. Requires `remove_stop_words=True`. |
+| `ngram_min_length` | int | `3` | Minimum n-gram length. Applies only when `base_tokenizer="ngram"`. |
+| `ngram_max_length` | int | `3` | Maximum n-gram length. Applies only when `base_tokenizer="ngram"`. |
+| `prefix_only` | bool | `False` | Index only prefix n-grams rather than all substrings. Applies only when `base_tokenizer="ngram"`. |
+| `block_size` | int | `128` | Number of documents per compressed posting block. Supported values are `128` and `256`. Setting this to `256` opts in to the experimental FTS V3 layout. |
+
+<Note title="Key parameters">
+- `max_token_length` can filter out base64 blobs or long URLs.
+- Disabling `with_position` reduces index size but disables phrase queries.
+- `ascii_folding` helps with international text (e.g., “café” → “cafe”).
+</Note>
+
+### Tokenizer choices {#tokenizer-choices}
+
+`base_tokenizer` controls segmentation before token filters run:
+
+- `simple`, `whitespace`, and `raw` cover common tokenization strategies for space-delimited text.
+- `ngram` indexes overlapping character spans for substring-style matching.
+- `icu` uses bundled ICU4X word segmentation for mixed-language text and scripts where whitespace splitting is not enough. ICU stands for [International Components for Unicode](https://icu.unicode.org/), and this tokenizer does not need external model files.
+- `jieba/*` is for Chinese word segmentation with Jieba.
+- `lindera/*` loads a compiled Lindera dictionary, such as `lindera/ipadic` for Japanese or `lindera/ko-dic` for Korean.
+
+Model-backed tokenizers such as `jieba/default`, `lindera/ipadic`, and `lindera/ko-dic` require tokenizer model files in Lance's language model home. Lance looks under the default platform data directory for `lance/language_models`, or you can set `LANCE_LANGUAGE_MODEL_HOME` to point to another model root. For example, `jieba/default` is resolved under `<model-home>/jieba/default/...`. For a table in LanceDB Enterprise, the files must be present where the deployment builds and queries the index, so ask its administrator whether they are installed.
+
+`language` is used by token filters, not by the base tokenizer. Stemming supports Arabic, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Tamil, and Turkish. Built-in stop-word removal supports Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish. For other stemming languages, set `remove_stop_words=False` or pass `custom_stop_words`.
+
+### Posting block size {#posting-block-size}
+
+`block_size` controls the number of documents packed into each compressed posting block on disk. The default of `128` matches the current FTS layout and is the right choice for most workloads. Setting it to `256` opts in to the experimental FTS V3 format, which changes how postings are encoded and may introduce breaking changes in future releases. Any other value is rejected at index creation time.
+
+You can set the option through either the synchronous or asynchronous API. In the async Python API, pass it on the `FTS` config, and in the TypeScript API use the camelCase `blockSize` field on `FtsOptions`:
+
+```python Python icon="python"
+from lancedb.index import FTS
+
+await async_table.create_index("text", config=FTS(block_size=256))
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+await table.createIndex("text", {
+  config: lancedb.Index.fts({ blockSize: 256 }),
+});
+```
+
+### Phrase Query Configuration {#phrase-query-configuration}
+
+Enable phrase queries by setting:
+
+| Parameter | Required Value | Purpose |
+|:----------|:---------------|:--------|
+| `with_position` | `True` | Track token positions for phrase matching |
+| `remove_stop_words` | `False` | Preserve stop words for exact phrase matching |
+
+## Indexing nested string fields {#indexing-nested-string-fields}
+
+You can build an FTS index on a string field inside a struct by passing its full dotted path, like `nested.text`. The same path is used when you query the index through `fts_columns`, and the indexed column is reported back as the full path from `list_indices()`.
+
+```python
+# Schema: pa.struct([pa.field("text", pa.string())]) stored under the `nested` column.
+table.create_fts_index("nested.text")
+
+results = (
+    table.search("puppy", query_type="fts", fts_columns="nested.text")
+    .limit(5)
+    .to_list()
+)
+```
+
+<Note>
+Use the canonical Lance path: dot-separate each struct field from root to leaf (for example, `metadata.author.name`). The same convention applies to scalar and vector indexes.

+icon: "list"
+availability:
+  oss: available
+  enterprise: available
+  summary: >-
+    Indexes are built in the embedded library and in LanceDB Enterprise. Enterprise builds them in the background, and builds fewer vector index types than the
+    embedded library.
+---
+
+Indexes speed up searches and filters by organizing data for specific query
+patterns. LanceDB supports three main index families:
+
+- **Vector Index**: Efficiently searches for similar vectors across high-dimensional data (e.g. images, audio, or text embeddings)
+- **Full-Text Search Index**: Enables fast keyword-based searches by indexing words and phrases
+- **Scalar Index**: Accelerates filtering of structured numeric or categorical data
+
+## Supported Indexes
+
+| Index | Use Case | Description |
+| :--------- | :------- | :---------- |
+| `IVF` (Vector) | Large-scale vector search with configurable accuracy/speed trade-offs. | Inverted File Index: a partition-based approximate nearest neighbor algorithm that groups similar vectors into partitions for efficient search. <br />**Quantizations**: `None/Flat` `PQ` `SQ` `RQ`|
+| `IVF_HNSW` (Vector) | Large-scale vector search requiring both high recall and efficient partitioning. Combines the scalability of IVF with the search quality of HNSW. | Hybrid index combining IVF partitioning with HNSW graphs in each partition. Provides improved search quality over pure IVF while maintaining scalability.<br />**Quantizations**: `None/Flat` `SQ` `PQ`|
+| `FTS` (Full-text search) | String columns (e.g., title, description, content) requiring keyword-based search with BM25 ranking. | Full-text search index using BM25 ranking algorithm. Tokenizes text with configurable tokenization, stemming, stop word removal, and language-specific processing. |
+| `BTree` (Scalar) | Numeric, temporal, and string columns with mostly distinct values. Best for selective equality, inequality, and range predicates. | Sorted index storing sorted copies of scalar columns with block headers in a btree cache. Header entries map to blocks of rows (4096 rows per block) for efficient disk reads. |
+| `Bitmap` (Scalar) | Low-cardinality columns with few thousand or fewer distinct values. Accelerates equality and range filters. | Stores a bitmap for each distinct value in the column, with one bit per row indicating presence. Memory-efficient for low-cardinality data. |
+| `LabelList` (Scalar) | List columns (e.g., tags, categories, keywords) requiring `array_contains_all` or `array_contains_any` filters. | Scalar index for `List<T>` and `LargeList<T>` columns of primitive values, using an underlying bitmap index structure to enable fast array membership lookups. |
+| `FM` (Scalar) | String or binary columns that need raw substring search. | FM-Index over `Utf8`, `LargeUtf8`, `Binary`, or `LargeBinary` data for filters such as `contains(path, 'needle')`. Use FTS instead for tokenized word search and BM25 ranking. |
+
+A deployment builds the vector indexes `IVF_FLAT`, `IVF_PQ`, `IVF_RQ` and
+`IVF_HNSW_SQ`. `IVF_SQ`, `IVF_HNSW_FLAT` and `IVF_HNSW_PQ` are built only by the
+embedded library.
+
+## Quantization
+LanceDB also supports several [quantization](/indexing/vector-index) methods, used by vector indexes to compress vectors and reduce storage requirements:
+
+| Quantization | Use Case | Description |
+| :----------- | :------- | :---------- |
+| `PQ` (Product Quantization) | Default choice for most vector search scenarios. Use when you need to balance index size and recall. | Divides vectors into subvectors and quantizes each subvector independently. Provides a good balance between compression ratio and search accuracy. |
+| `RQ` (RabitQ Quantization) | Use when you need maximum compression or have specific per-dimension requirements. | Per-dimension quantization using a RabitQ codebook. Provides fine-grained control over compression per dimension. For `IVF_RQ`, vector dimensions must be divisible by `8`. |
+| `SQ` (Scalar Quantization) | Use when you need faster indexing or when vector dimensions have consistent value ranges. | Quantizes each dimension independently. Simpler than PQ but typically provides less compression. |
+| `None/Flat` | Use for binary vectors (with `hamming` distance) or when you need maximum recall and have sufficient storage. | No quantization; stores raw vectors. Provides the highest accuracy but requires more storage and memory. |
+
+## Performance {#performance}
+
+#### Vector indexes {#vector-indexes}
+
+If vector search latency climbs with table size (i.e., queries that ran in milliseconds on a small table take seconds as it grows to millions of rows), check whether the query is scanning every vector without an index. The point at which an index helps depends on vector dimensions, hardware and
+your latency target. Measure your workload before choosing an index. Pick the type by your data shape:
+
+| Index | When to use |
+|-------|-------------|
+| `IVF_PQ` | General-purpose default, and what a deployment builds when it is set to index a column automatically. Higher accuracy than RQ at small dimensions (≤ 256). |
+| `IVF_RQ` | Maximum compression on high-dim vectors, faster builds than PQ. |
+| `IVF_HNSW_SQ` | Best recall/latency for unfiltered search; higher latency variance under selective filters. |
+| `IVF_FLAT` | Required for binary vectors with `hamming`. |
+
+The distance metric is fixed once the index is built. Pick the distance metric based on how the embedding model was trained: `cosine` (unnormalized), `dot` (already-normalized, best performance), `l2` (general-purpose, default), `hamming` (binary). If a query explicitly requests a different metric, the index cannot be used and the query falls back to a brute-force scan; a deployment can be configured to reject that scan on a large table. For parameter tuning, see [Vector Indexing](/indexing/vector-index).
+
+#### Scalar indexes {#scalar-indexes}
+
+Scalar indexes can reduce the rows scanned for selective filters and speed up
+`merge_insert` key lookups. Start with columns used frequently in those operations,
+then use [query plans](/search/explain) to check whether the index helps. Choose
+the index type based on the column's values:
+
+| Index | Best for |
+|-------|----------|
+| `BTREE` (default) | Numeric, string, temporal columns with mostly distinct values |
+| `BITMAP` | Boolean and low-cardinality columns (< ~1,000 distinct values) |
+| `LABEL_LIST` | `List<T>` columns queried with `array_has_any` / `array_has_all` |
+
+See [Scalar Indexing](/indexing/scalar-index).
+
+#### Full-text search {#full-text-search}
+
+Token positions and retained stop words increase the information stored in a
+full-text index. Keep the defaults for basic keyword search; enable
+`with_position=True` and retain the needed stop words for phrase queries. See [FTS Indexing](/indexing/fts-index) configuration options for the full set of options.

+  summary: >-
+    Indexes are kept up to date in the embedded library and in LanceDB Enterprise. In
+    the embedded library you add new rows to them with `optimize()`; a
+    deployment does it in the background, and `optimize()` is not available
+    there.
+---
+
+import {
+    PyReindexingIncremental as ReindexingIncremental,
+    PyGpuIndexCuda as GpuIndexCuda,
+    PyGpuIndexMps as GpuIndexMps,
+} from '/snippets/indexing.mdx';
+
+As you add new data to your LanceDB tables, your indexes may become outdated.
+Reindexing is the process of updating the index to account for new data -- this applies to either a full-text search (FTS) index or a vector index. Reindexing is an important operation to run periodically as your data grows, as it has performance implications.
+
+As data is being added and a reindex operation is running, LanceDB will combine results from the existing index with exhaustive/flat search on the new data. This is done to ensure that you're still retrieving results over all your data, but it does come at a performance cost. The more data that you add without reindexing, the impact on latency (due to exhaustive search) can be noticeable.
+
+Rather than dropping an existing index entirely and reindexing from scratch, LanceDB supports **incremental indexing**.
+
+<Note>
+**Enterprise job types:** an index build runs as `reindex_` followed by the
+algorithm, such as `reindex_ivf_pq`, `reindex_btree` or `reindex_fts`, and so
+does folding new rows into an existing index. A create-only build, one that must
+not replace an existing index, runs as `create_` followed by the algorithm
+instead; Python's `create_scalar_index` and `create_fts_index` ask for that by
+default. The name says which algorithm is building, not a separate feature.
+</Note>
+
+## Incremental Reindexing {#incremental-reindexing}
+
+In the embedded library, you trigger an incremental indexing operation on
+updated data with the `optimize()` method on a table. A deployment does this
+for you and does not support `optimize()`, as described below.
+
+Table optimization performs three maintenance operations:
+
+1. **Compaction**: merges small fragments into larger ones to improve read performance
+2. **Pruning/Cleanup**: removes files from versions older than a retention window (7 days by default)
+3. **Index update**: adds newly-ingested data to existing vector, scalar, and FTS indexes
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {ReindexingIncremental}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Badge color="red">Enterprise</Badge>
+
+LanceDB Enterprise supports incremental reindexing through an automated background process. Once enough new rows have been added to a table, the system automatically adds them to its indexes. As the dataset grows, indexes are asynchronously updated in the background.
+
+- While indexes are being rebuilt, queries use brute force methods on unindexed rows, which may temporarily increase latency. If you can omit unindexed rows, set `fast_search=True` to search only indexed data.
+  This can return incomplete results while indexing catches up.
+- Use `index_stats()` to view the number of unindexed rows. This will be zero when indexes are fully up-to-date. If you call `wait_for_index(...)`, it polls the same status and can time out while continuous writes keep adding unindexed rows.
+- Rows below the deployment's threshold stay unindexed until more arrive, so the count can stay above zero without further writes. `FM` indexes are not updated in the background.
+
+The benefit of using LanceDB Enterprise is that it automates the reindexing process
+and operates continuously in the background, minimizing the impact on latency under high loads.
+In OSS, you must manually manage the reindexing cadence based on your data growth and performance needs.
+
+## Disk utilization {#disk-utilization}
+
+Compaction by itself does not immediately free disk space, and can temporarily increase it because new
+compacted files are written before old-version files are deleted. Disk space is reclaimed when old versions
+are pruned during cleanup. Set retention only as low as your rollback and time-travel requirements allow.
+
+If you need to reclaim space more aggressively in OSS, use a shorter retention window:
+<CodeGroup>
+    ```python Python icon=Python
+    from datetime import timedelta
+
+    table.optimize(cleanup_older_than=timedelta(days=1))
+    ```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+## Building on GPUs {#gpu}
+
+GPU acceleration can reduce the time needed to build vector indexes on large
+datasets. Actual build time depends on the index configuration, vector
+dimensions, storage throughput and available GPU resources.
+
+<Info>
+**Automatic GPU indexing**
+<Badge color="red">Enterprise-only</Badge>
+
+Automatic GPU Indexing is currently only available in [LanceDB Enterprise](/enterprise/).
+Please [contact us](https://www.lancedb.com/contact) to enable this feature for your deployment.
+
+The vector index is created when you call `create_index`. The backend uses GPU resources
+to build `IVF_PQ` indexes, with the number of GPUs set by the deployment's configuration.
+
+This process is also asynchronous by default, but you can use `wait_for_index` to convert it
+into a synchronous process by waiting until the index is built.
+
+</Info>
+
+`wait_for_index(...)` waits for the index to exist and for `index_stats(...)` to report `num_unindexed_rows == 0`. It can time out if the table is receiving continuous writes while the build is trying to catch up.
+
+GPU acceleration changes how the vector index is built, not the lifecycle after the build. In the
+embedded library, rows appended later still need `optimize()` before they are part of the index; a
+deployment adds them in the background. `fast_search()` only searches indexed rows.
+
+### Manual GPU indexing in LanceDB OSS {#gpu-manual-gpu-indexing-in-lancedb-oss}
+
+You can use the Python SDK to manually create the `IVF_PQ` index on a GPU. You'll need
+[PyTorch>2.0](https://pytorch.org/). Note that GPU-based indexing is currently only
+supported by the synchronous SDK in LanceDB OSS.
+
+Specify the values `cuda` or `mps` (on Apple Silicon) for the `accelerator` parameter
+to enable GPU training on your device.
+

+
+### Performance considerations {#gpu-performance-considerations}
+
+- GPU memory usage scales with `num_partitions` and vector dimensions
+- Size GPU memory for the training batches and index configuration
+- Monitor memory use while choosing training batch sizes
+- Measure build time and recall before changing training settings
+
+### Troubleshooting {#gpu-troubleshooting}
+
+If you encounter the error `AssertionError: Torch not compiled with CUDA enabled`,
+you need to [install PyTorch with CUDA support](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/).

+
+Scalar indexes accelerate filters on values such as numbers, categories and
+strings. Use them for selective table queries or metadata filters combined
+with vector and full-text search.
+
+LanceDB supports four types of scalar indexes:
+
+- `BTREE`: Stores column data in sorted order for binary search. Best for columns with many unique values.
+- `BITMAP`: Uses bitmaps to track value presence. Ideal for columns with few unique values (e.g., categories, tags).
+- `LABEL_LIST`: Special index for `List<T>` and `LargeList<T>` columns of primitive values supporting `array_contains_all` and `array_contains_any` queries.
+- `FM`: FM-Index over string or binary columns that accelerates substring search via `contains(col, 'needle')`.
+
+<Tip title="Working with scalar indices">
+Use scalar indexes with:
+
+- Vector search (prefilter results using metadata)
+- Full-text search (combining keyword matching with structured filters) 
+- SQL scans (optimizing WHERE clauses on scalar columns)
+- Key-value lookups (enabling rapid primary key-based retrievals)
+</Tip>
+
+## Choosing the Right Index Type
+
+| Data Type                                                       | Filter                                    | Index Type   |
+|:----------------------------------------------------------------|:------------------------------------------|:-------------|
+| Numeric, String, Temporal                                       | `<`, `=`, `>`, `in`, `between`, `is null` | `BTREE`      |
+| Boolean, numbers or strings with fewer than 1,000 unique values | `<`, `=`, `>`, `in`, `between`, `is null` | `BITMAP`     |
+| List of low cardinality of numbers or strings                   | `array_has_any`, `array_has_all`          | `LABEL_LIST` |
+| String or binary (`Utf8`, `LargeUtf8`, `Binary`, `LargeBinary`) | `contains(col, 'needle')`                 | `FM`         |
+
+## Scalar Index Operations
+
+### 1. Build the Index
+
+You can create multiple scalar indexes within a table. By default, the index will be `BTREE`, but you can always configure another type like `BITMAP`
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {ScalarIndexBuild}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Note title="LanceDB Enterprise">
+If you are using LanceDB Enterprise, the `create_scalar_index` API returns immediately, but the building of the scalar index is asynchronous. To wait until all data is fully indexed, you can specify the `wait_timeout` parameter on `create_scalar_index()` or call `wait_for_index()` on the table.
+</Note>
+
+### 2. Check Index Status
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {ScalarIndexWait}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+`wait_for_index(...)` waits until the named scalar indexes exist and `index_stats(...)` reports `num_unindexed_rows == 0`. If a table is receiving steady writes, that fully indexed state may not stabilize before the timeout. In LanceDB Enterprise, rows added after the index was built are indexed only once enough have accumulated, so a small remainder can also keep the wait from finishing.
+
+### 3. Update the Index
+
+Updating the table data (adding, deleting, or modifying records) requires that you also update the scalar index. In the embedded library, call `optimize`, which will trigger an update to the existing scalar index.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {ScalarIndexOptimize}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Note title="LanceDB Enterprise">
+New data added after creating the scalar index will still appear in search results if optimize is not used, but with increased latency due to a flat search on the unindexed portion. LanceDB Enterprise does not support `optimize()`; instead it adds new rows to `BTREE`, `BITMAP` and `LABEL_LIST` indexes in the background once enough have accumulated. It does not update `FM` indexes automatically.
+</Note>
+
+### 4. Run Indexed Searches
+
+The following scan will be faster if the column `book_id` has a scalar index:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {ScalarIndexFilter}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Scalar indexes can also speed up scans containing a vector search or full text search, and a prefilter:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {ScalarIndexPrefilter}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+## Indexing nested fields
+
+Scalar indexes can target a scalar field inside a struct by passing its full dotted path. The path is preserved end to end: it's the value you pass to `create_scalar_index`, it's what `list_indices()` reports under `columns`, and it's the column reference you use in filter predicates.
+
+```python
+# Schema: pa.struct([pa.field("user_id", pa.int32())]) stored under the `metadata` column.
+table.create_scalar_index("metadata.user_id", name="metadata_user_id_idx")
+
+# The same dotted path works in WHERE clauses.
+table.search().where("metadata.user_id = 42").limit(1).to_list()
+```
+
+<Note>
+Nested paths follow Lance field-path semantics: dot-separate each struct field from root to leaf (for example, `metadata.author.name`). The same convention applies to FTS and vector indexes.
+</Note>
+
+## FM-Index for substring search
+
+The `FM` index is a scalar index built over string or binary columns that
+accelerates substring lookups expressed as `contains(col, 'needle')`. Unlike the
+tokenized [FTS index](/indexing/fts-index), which matches whole words after
+tokenization, the FM-Index matches arbitrary substrings of the raw bytes. It
+works well for URLs, file paths, identifiers, log lines, or any column where you
+search for a fragment rather than a word.
+
+Use the FM-Index when:
+
+- Filters use `contains(col, 'needle')` (substring), not equality or word search.
+- The column is `Utf8`, `LargeUtf8`, `Binary`, or `LargeBinary`.
+- You want substring matches without paying for tokenization, language analysis,
+  or BM25 scoring.
+
+Pick `FTS` instead when you need word-level relevance ranking, phrase queries,
+or language-aware tokenization.
+
+### Create an FM-Index
+
+Build an FM-Index with the async `create_index` API by passing the `Fm` config in
+Python or `Index.fm()` in TypeScript. In Rust, use `Index::Fm(FmIndexBuilder::default())`.
+A deployment builds FM-Indexes too, but does not add new rows to them in the background as it
+does for the other scalar indexes.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+from lancedb.index import Fm
+
+await tbl.create_index("text", config=Fm())
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+import * as lancedb from "@lancedb/lancedb";
+import { Index } from "@lancedb/lancedb";
+
+await tbl.createIndex("text", { config: Index.fm() });
+```
+
+```rust Rust icon="rust"
+use lancedb::index::Index;
+use lancedb::index::scalar::FmIndexBuilder;
+
+tbl.create_index(&["text"], Index::Fm(FmIndexBuilder::default()))
+    .execute()
+    .await?;
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+After the index is built, substring filters use it automatically:
+
+```python
+table.search().where("contains(text, 'needle')").limit(10).to_pandas()
+```
+
+`list_indices()` reports the index type as `"Fm"`.
+
+## Index UUID Columns
+
+LanceDB supports scalar indexes on UUID columns (stored as `FixedSizeBinary(16)`), enabling efficient lookups and filtering on UUID-based primary keys.
+
+<Note>
+**To use `FixedSizeBinary`, ensure you have:**
+
+- Python SDK version `0.22.0` or later
+- TypeScript SDK version `0.19.0` or later
+</Note>

+</CodeGroup>
+
+## Index nested fields
+
+You can build a scalar index on a field inside a struct column by passing the
+canonical dot-separated path to `create_index`. This is useful when filters
+target attributes nested under a `metadata`-style column, for example
+`metadata.user_id` or `metadata.event.type`.
+
+If a literal segment of the path itself contains a dot (for example a column
+named `user.id` nested inside `metadata`), wrap that segment in backticks so
+LanceDB can tell the dot apart from the path separator: `` metadata.`user.id` ``.
+
+`list_indices()` echoes the same canonical path back, so the column you pass in
+round-trips through index metadata regardless of nesting depth or escaping.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {ScalarIndexNestedFields}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Note>
+Composite indexes that cover multiple columns aren't supported yet. Each
+`create_index` call must target a single (possibly nested) field path.

+
+Vector indexes are robust tools in facilitating fast searches across large numeric datasets. 
+LanceDB implements **ANN (Approximate Nearest-Neighbor)** queries with several techniques that provide benefits across a variety of use cases.
+
+## Do you need one? {#do-you-need-one}
+
+Not always. LanceDB's disk-based brute-force kNN search is fast even without an
+index -- computing 100K pairs of 1000-dimension vectors takes under 20ms in
+benchmarks. For datasets around 100K rows or fewer, or applications that can
+accept ~100ms latency, a vector index is usually unnecessary overhead.
+
+Build one once a table passes roughly a million rows, dimensionality is high,
+or query latency matters more than that. See
+[`bypass_vector_index`](#search-time-parameters) to run an exact search
+side-by-side and measure whether an index is worth it for your data.
+
+## Choosing the Right Index
+
+LanceDB vector indexes are combined with several [quantization](/indexing/vector-index) techniques to admit efficient storage.
+The following table lists provided quantized vector indexes and their common use cases. You can specify index type manually in
+Lance with `index_type`.
+
+
+| If your priority is... | Use this index | Why | Approx. compression ratio | Python config class |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| Maximum compression | `IVF_RQ` | IVF indexing with RaBitQ quantization | Around `1/32` of raw size | `IvfRq` |
+| Higher accuracy at small dimensions (`dimension <= 256`) | `IVF_PQ` | IVF indexing with product quantization | Usually `1/64` to `1/16` of raw size (depends on `num_sub_vectors`) | `IvfPq` |
+| Best recall/latency trade-off | `IVF_HNSW_SQ` | IVF-HNSW indexing with scalar | Typically a little larger than `1/4` of raw size | `IvfHnswSq` |
+| Highest recall / no quantization | `IVF_HNSW_FLAT` | IVF-HNSW indexing with no quantization; embedded library only | Around raw vector size plus HNSW graph overhead | `IvfHnswFlat` |
+
+<Warning>
+If your vector search frequently includes metadata filters (`where(...)`), use `IVF_RQ` or `IVF_PQ`. In filtered workloads, HNSW-backed IVF indexes such as `IVF_HNSW_FLAT` and `IVF_HNSW_SQ` can show higher latency variance.
+</Warning>
+
+## Understanding Vector Indexes
+
+LanceDB offers two vector indexes, which can be created on any numeric Lance dataset: 
+**Inverted File (IVF)** and **Hierarchical Navigable Small World (HNSW)**.
+
+### IVF
+
+The **Inverted File Index (IVF)** accelerates ANN searches by drastically reducing the search space. The index consists of
+a small set of *centroids* corresponding to an approximate solution to the 
+[$k$-means clustering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-means_clustering) problem. 
+Each vector remembers its nearest centroid, and each centroid remembers its associated set of vectors, 
+called its *partition*. 
+<Frame caption="Example partition of a geometric space, with colored marks denoting centroids.">
+  <img src="/static/assets/images/indexing/ivfpq_ivf_desc.webp" alt="IVF vector-space partitioning" />
+</Frame>
+
+At query time, we can compare the queried vector to the smaller set of *centroids* (as opposed to the entire dataset)
+for a closest match, then run a brute-force comparison against its resulting partition. This technique quickly prunes a large search space,
+giving an approximate ANN result.
+
+However, observe that a queried vector may lie near the boundary of $2$ or more partitions; thus, the true nearest neighbors are scattered across several different partitions.
+ To address this, LanceDB exposes the `nprobes` parameter, which specifies the number of partitions searched. 
+A high `nprobes` parameter will yield more accurate results at slightly higher runtime.
+
+<Frame caption="Edge case for single-partition brute force.">
+  <img src="/static/assets/images/indexing/ivfpq_query_vector.webp" alt="IVF vector-space partitioning" />
+</Frame>
+
+### HNSW
+**Hierarchical Navigable Small World (HNSW)** constructs a layered graph hierarchy on the vector set, with edges representing distances. 
+We can visualize an HNSW index as a vertical stack of graphs, with the top layer having very few edges and
+each other layer having a multiplicative factor more edges than the layer above it.
+
+High layers of a HNSW hierarchy represent sparse, higher-distance networks, and lower layers represent finer, lower-distance networks. 
+To query a vector $q$, the index proceeds iteratively through layers, first finding $q$'s nearest neighbor in the graph, then proceeding recursively
+through the induced subhierarchy until the lowest layer is reached.
+
+<Frame caption="HNSW hierarchy: sparse network at the top layer, fine network at the bottom.">
+  <img src="/static/assets/images/indexing/hnsw_layered_graph.png" alt="HNSW layered graph hierarchy" />
+</Frame>
+
+To visualize this process, imagine that you must drive your car from San Francisco to a specific house in Boston. Initially, you must first drive thousands of miles
+on the interstate freeway I-90 E. Eventually, you merge onto the Massachusetts Turnpike, the center
+of the greater Boston highway system. From there, you use a series of increasingly smaller, narrower roads within the city (Charles River Bridge, St. Paul St,
+Thatcher St) before finally reaching the house. 
+
+A key observation is that you must initially travel far distances through long-distance road networks 
+(the interstate freeway system), before proceeding to finer and finer road networks (greater Boston highway system, central Brookline neighborhood connectors) before finally reaching
+your destination. This iterative series of road networks mimics the layered graph traversals performed by a HNSW query.
+<Info>
+**IVF + HNSW**
+
+In LanceDB, HNSW is not exposed as a top-level vector index. Instead, it's available as a substructure which 
+further indexes the selected vectors inside each IVF partition. 
+This combines the scalability of IVF with the high recall of HNSW.
+LanceDB supports IVF-HNSW-based quantized indexes `IVF_HNSW_FLAT`, `IVF_HNSW_PQ`, and `IVF_HNSW_SQ`; a deployment builds only `IVF_HNSW_SQ`.

+
+## Using Vector Indexes
+Learn how to configure, build, and search LanceDB vector indexes, including build and search time parameters, asynchronous objects, and several examples.
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### Build-time Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Description |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| `distance_type` | Default is `l2`, others available are `cosine` and `dot`. 
+| `num_partitions` | The number of IVF partitions constructed (corresponds to the $k$ in $k$-means clustering). This takes precedence over `target_partition_size` if both are set. |
+| `target_partition_size` | An alternative IVF sizing knob that derives the partition count by setting the number of rows per partition. `num_partitions` takes precedence over `target_partition_size` if both are set. If neither is set the number of partitions is automatically calculated based on the number of rows and the index type. |
+| `num_sub_vectors` | Applies to `IVF_PQ`; defaults to `dimension // 16` (or `dimension // 8` if not a multiple of 16). Larger values produce better recall and slower search. |
+| `max_iterations` | Maximum number of k-means training iterations, for every IVF/HNSW index type. Default `50`. Increase for larger datasets or to improve training quality. |
+| `sample_rate` | Number of k-means training samples per partition, for every IVF/HNSW index type. Default `256`. Higher values increase both accuracy and training time. |
+
+#### Search-time Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Description |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| `limit` | Number of results to return (the `k` in `k-ANN`). |
+| `nprobes` | Sets both `minimum_nprobes` and `maximum_nprobes` to the same value in Lance. Leave unset to use Lance's adaptive defaults. At very high scales you will likely need to experiment to find your preferred recall / latency balance. |
+| `minimum_nprobes` | Minimum number of partitions scanned. Leave unset to use Lance's default. |
+| `maximum_nprobes` | Maximum number of partitions scanned. Only scans more than `minimum_nprobes` if an initial pass does not return enough results, which is useful for narrow filters. Leave unset, or set to `0`, to remove the cap. |
+| `ef` | HNSW search-time exploration factor. Start around `1.5 * k` and increase up to `10 * k` for higher recall. |
+| `refine_factor` | Reads and reranks additional candidates in memory to recover recall lost to quantization. Start between `5` and `50` (a factor of `25` reads and reranks the top `25 * k` candidates) and measure the latency cost, typically a few milliseconds, against the recall gained. |
+| `distance_range(lower_bound, upper_bound)` | Return only rows whose distance falls within `[lower_bound, upper_bound)`. Either bound is optional. Useful for near-duplicate detection or "close-enough" matching. |
+| `bypass_vector_index()` | Ignore the ANN index entirely and perform an exact (flat) scan. Can be used to measure ANN `recall@k`, or to query with a metric the index was not built for (e.g., a non-cosine query on a multivector column). |
+
+<Note>
+The `distance_type` can be specified at search time in addition to build time. If
+you do this, set it to the same value used to build the vector index. If the search
+metric does not match the index metric, LanceDB cannot use the index and falls
+back to a costly flat search. On LanceDB Cloud, the brute-force KNN safety limit
+can reject that search on a large table instead of executing it. An Enterprise
+deployment applies the same limit only when it is configured to.
+
+When the search metric is omitted, current SDKs use the index metric if an index
+is available. Some older SDK versions sent `l2` when it was omitted, so explicitly
+set the matching metric or upgrade the SDK when querying a non-`l2` index with an
+older client.
+</Note>
+
+**Recommended `nprobes` behavior by index type:**
+
+| Index type | Guidance |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| `IVF_HNSW_FLAT`, `IVF_HNSW_SQ` | Leave the probe settings unset, then tune `ef` first. Expect higher latency variance under filtered search. |
+| `IVF_RQ`, `IVF_PQ` | Leave the probe settings unset and configure them only when recall is insufficient. If using a selective filter you may need to increase `maximum_nprobes` if you do not receive enough results. |
+
+
+<Note>
+**Filtered queries and adaptive `nprobes`.** When a `where(...)` filter is active, LanceDB initially scans `minimum_nprobes` 
+partitions and uses a wider scan if too few rows are found. 
+Set `minimum_nprobes == maximum_nprobes` or call `nprobes(n)` to instead fix the partition count.
+Whether a deployment widens the scan this way depends on its version; one that does not scans exactly
+`minimum_nprobes` partitions.
+</Note>
+
+Here is an example of a vector search exercising several of the above parameters.

+Multivector indexing currently requires `distance_type="cosine"`. Use `bypass_vector_index()` for non-`cosine` queries on a multivector column. See [Multivector Search](/search/vector-search) for the full rules.
+</Note>
+
+#### Async API and Config Objects
+
+Create vector indexes asynchronously with `await table.create_index("vector", config=...)`. The `config` object 
+admits the same build-time parameters described above. Pass an instance of a Python config class from the table in [Choosing the Right Index](#choosing-the-right-index):

+</CodeGroup>
+
+### IVF Indexes
+
+This example creates and queries an `IVF_PQ` index for a table of vectors with respect to `cosine` similarity. 
+Specify `vector_column_name` if you have multiple vector columns or non-default names.

+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Note>
+TypeScript currently doesn't support `IvfSq` (IVF with Scalar Quantization).
+</Note>
+
+For a vector field nested inside a struct, pass its full dotted path as `vector_column_name` (e.g. `image.embedding`). The same path is used at query time and is what `list_indices()` reports under `columns`. See [Selecting the vector column](/search/vector-search#selecting-the-vector-column) for the full path syntax.

+    {VectorIndexNestedField}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### IVF-HNSW Indexes
+
+Beyond the general build-time parameters above, two additional parameters are specific to IVF-HNSW indexes:
+
+| Parameter | Description |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| `m` | The number of neighbors to select for each vector in the HNSW graph. |
+| `ef_construction` | The number of candidates to evaluate during the construction of the HNSW graph. Start at `150`; increase for better recall, decrease for faster indexing. |
+
+Partition sizing follows the general `num_partitions`/`target_partition_size` guidance above.
+The snippet below builds and queries an `IVF_HNSW_SQ` index. 
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {VectorIndexBuildHnsw + VectorIndexQueryHnsw}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Managing Vector Indexes
+
+ <Badge color="red">Enterprise-only</Badge> 
+In LanceDB Enterprise, vector indexes are managed **automatically**. The system asynchronously updates and optimizes indexes as a background process:
+- Automatically manages indexing parameters and storage
+- Can build an `IVF_PQ` index automatically on a vector column the deployment is configured to index
+- GPU-based `IVF_PQ` builds are available on request -- [contact support](/deployment/support) to enable them for your deployment. Build time depends on dataset size, dimensions and GPU resources.
+
+ <Badge color="gray">Open-Source</Badge> 
+ LanceDB OSS users can manually create vector indexes by calling `table.create_index()`. 
+ See the above sections for guidance on manually tuning index parameters as data changes.
+
+<Note>
+In LanceDB Enterprise, `create_index()` returns immediately and the vector index builds asynchronously.
+To wait until all data is indexed, specify the `wait_timeout` parameter, or call `wait_for_index(...)` afterward.
+It waits for the named index to exist and for `index_stats(...)` to report `num_unindexed_rows == 0`.
+In the embedded library the index is built before `create_index()` returns.
+</Note>
+
+<Note>
+Rows appended after an initial index build remain outside the index until refreshed manually (OSS) or automatically (Enterprise). Normal
+search still checks those unindexed rows with a slower fallback path; `fast_search()` skips that
+fallback and searches only indexed rows.
+</Note>
+
+<Info>
+**Operational checks**
+
+In the embedded library, use `optimize()` after appends or other writes to fold new rows into existing indexes.
+A deployment does this in the background, and `optimize()` is not available there.
+</Info>
+#### Check Index Status
+
+In LanceDB Enterprise, vector index creation runs in the background and may take some time to complete.
+While it is ongoing, you can check its status through the API or the **LanceDB Enterprise UI**.
+
+In the LanceDB Enterprise UI, navigate to your table page - the "Index" column reflects each column's index status: it is blank when no index exists, shows an "in progress" label while the index is being built, and shows the index type once the build completes.
+
+To check status programmatically, use `list_indices()` and `index_stats()`. **By default**, the index name is formed by appending `_idx` to the column name (e.g., a `keywords_embeddings` column produces `keywords_embeddings_idx`). Note that `list_indices()` only returns information after the index is fully built.
+
+Each entry returned by `list_indices()` also carries detailed per-index metadata, so you can inspect an index without a follow-up `index_stats()` call. Node.js exposes the same fields in camelCase (`num_indexed_rows` → `numIndexedRows`):
+
+| Parameter | Description |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| `num_indexed_rows`, `num_unindexed_rows` | Index coverage over the table |
+| `size_bytes` | Total size of the index files on disk |
+| `num_segments`, `index_version` | On-disk layout and format version |
+| `created_at` | Creation time (ms since the Unix epoch in Node.js) |
+| `index_uuid`, `type_url` | Internal identifiers for the index segment |
+| `index_details` | Type-specific details (e.g. IVF partition counts or quantization settings) |
+
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {VectorIndexCheckStatus}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+
+<Note>
+These fields are populated for local tables. In LanceDB Enterprise, `list_indices()` returns them except `num_unindexed_rows`; use `index_stats()` for index coverage.
+</Note>
+#### Custom Index Names
+
+The `{column}_idx` suffix is the default naming convention. 
+Pass `name=...` to `create_index()` to override it. Once set, the custom name will be reflected in `list_indices()`, `index_stats(name)`, and `wait_for_index([name])`.

+
+## Quantization {#quantization}
+
+**Quantization** is used in LanceDB to efficiently compress and store vector indexes. We discuss only the quantization techniques here;
+discussion of LanceDB vector indexes and quantized vector indexes can be found [here](/indexing/vector-index).
+
+### Quantization Techniques
+LanceDB provides $3$ distinct quantization techniques: Product Quantization (PQ), RaBitQ Quantization (RQ), and Scalar Quantization (SQ).
+Recall that all quantizations perform **lossy** compression, in that they irreversibly lose some degree of precision in order to 
+compactly store an index.
+
+#### Product Quantization (PQ)
+To visualize PQ, assume a vector dataset has $d$ dimensions, with a **chunk** of a vector denoting a contiguous block of entries. Imagine that each vector has
+ $m$ disjoint chunks of $d/m$ entries each, where the first chunk contains entries $0$ through $d/m-1$, the second contains
+entries $d/m$ through $2d/m-1$, and so on.
+
+Now, for each $i$, let $S_i$ represent the set containing chunk $i$ of each vector (entries $(i-1)d/m$ to $id/m-1$).
+For each $S_i$ independently, a small set of **centroids** is computed corresponding to an approximate solution to the $k$-means clustering problem.
+
+For each original vector in the dataset, every chunk is associated to its nearest centroid; thus, the vector itself is associated with the concatenation of $m$ centroids.
+We then gather all our centroids (from all chunks) into a single lookup table, and for each vector, we store the concatenation of IDs of its corresponding centroids. 
+At query time, we need only to compare each chunk of the queried vector with our set of centroids.
+
+<Frame caption="">
+  <img src="/static/assets/images/indexing/ivfpq_pq_desc.png" alt="IVF vector-space partitioning" />
+</Frame>
+
+In the above example, the original vector is split into chunks (subvectors), each of which is associated to a centroid. The stored quantization code for this vector 
+is the concatenation $2 || 1 || 4 || 3$. The original vector required $128$ dimensions $\times 32$-bit floats $ =4096$ bits total,
+which has been compressed to $4$ chunks $\times 8$-bit integers $= 32$ bits of quantized storage.
+
+#### RaBitQ Quantization (RQ)
+
+RaBitQ is an advanced quantization technique that outperforms PQ in several ways.
+It needs no codebook to train, estimates distances very quickly at query-time, 
+and crucially, quantizes each vector in (with some small overhead) just **one bit per dimension!** 
+In practice, RaBitQ compresses a $1024$-dimensional `float32` vector into just a few thousand bits, while maintaining good recall.
+
+The inner workings of RaBitQ quantization are rather mathematically dense. It generates a quantization codebook by 
+applying a uniformly random, approximately distance-preserving orthogonal transformation of the vertices of the $d$-dimensional hypercube, 
+where $d$ is the dimensionality of the dataset. We defer the details, and an elegant theoretical error bound, to [the original paper.](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.12497)
+
+##### Using RaBitQ
+Use RaBitQ quantization by selecting quantized index types ending in the suffix `RQ`. For example, call `create_index` with `index_type="IVF_RQ"`. 
+Note that when using `IVF_RQ`, the dimension of the dataset must be a multiple of `8`.
+
+`num_bits` determines how many bits are used to quantize each dimension.
+`1` is the standard RaBitQ setting. Increase to `2`, `4`, or `8` bits to achieve better recall for additional storage and query-time compute.
+
+<Warning title="Reading multi-bit indexes across versions">
+RaBitQ-quantized indexes computed with `num_bits >= 2` use a newer on-disk layout, and cannot be read by some older LanceDB versions. 
+</Warning>
+
+See this [blog post](https://lancedb.com/blog/feature-rabitq-quantization/) for further discussion and benchmarking of LanceDB's RaBitQ implementation.
+
+#### Scalar Quantization (SQ)
+Scalar quantization quantizes each entry of a vector independently, by simply replacing it with the closest of a pre-defined set of values. 
+In practice, it often uses $8$ bits per dimension of a vector, and supports very fast encoding and decoding.
+
+For example, suppose we know all vector entries across our dataset lie in the range $[-128 \times 10^5, 127 \times 10^5]$. 
+In this case, we could quantize a given value $v$ as an $8$-bit representation of the integer $j$, where $j \times 10^5$ is the closest value to $v$
+among all integral multiples $\{j \times 10^5: -128 \leq j \leq 127 \}$.
+
+### Quantization API Reference
+
+
+| Parameter | Description |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| `num_bits` | Bits per dimension for quantization. Only applies to `IVF_PQ`/`IVF_HNSW_PQ` (default `8`) and `IVF_RQ` (default `1`, RaBitQ); not used by `IVF_FLAT`/`IVF_SQ`/`IVF_HNSW_FLAT`/`IVF_HNSW_SQ`. Higher values improve accuracy at the cost of additional storage. |
+
+`max_iterations` and `sample_rate` also affect quantizer training, but since they apply to every IVF/HNSW index type (not just quantized ones), they're documented as general [Build-time Parameters](/indexing/vector-index#build-time-parameters) instead. All three are passed as keyword arguments to `create_index`, alongside `index_type`:

+Create a table from existing records, or define an empty table before data
+arrives. Define a schema to specify column types, allow or disallow missing
+values, and set the size of your vectors.
+
+## Create a table with data {#create-a-table-with-data}
+
+The Python input examples below are complete programs. Install `lancedb` and
+any additional libraries imported by the example, save one as a Python file,
+and run it. Each uses its own temporary local database.
+
+The TypeScript and Rust blocks illustrate the corresponding input formats.
+For a complete connection-to-result program in either language, expand
+[the write workflow](#complete-example). Table names follow the
+[naming rules](/basics/naming).
+
+### From list of objects {#from-list-of-objects}
+
+You can provide a list of objects to create a table. The Python and TypeScript SDKs
+support lists/arrays of records. The Rust example converts structs to Arrow batches.
+In Python, pass a list or other batch-like object; a single bare `dict` or single
+`LanceModel` is rejected.

+    {RsCreateTableFromDicts}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### If the table already exists {#handle-existing-tables}
+
+By default, creating a table fails if its name is already in use. Choose whether
+to open that table or overwrite it.
+
+#### Open the existing table
+
+Use `exist_ok=True` in Python or `existOk: true` in TypeScript to return the
+existing table without changing its contents. This is useful for setup code
+that may run more than once. Any data supplied to the create call is ignored
+when the table already exists.
+
+Inspect the returned table's schema if your code depends on specific columns
+or types. Opening an existing table does not change its schema to match the
+data supplied in the create call.
+
+#### Overwrite the table
+
+Use `mode="overwrite"` in Python or `mode: "overwrite"` in TypeScript to replace
+the existing table with the supplied data and schema. Choose this only when
+you intend to replace its previous contents.
+
+The following Python program demonstrates both choices:
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {CreateTableConflictHandling}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+
+
+
+<Note>
+`exist_ok` / `existOk` does not append the provided data to an existing table. Use
+[`table.add()`](/ingestion/insert) for that. If you need to ensure a table exists *and*
+contains specific rows, choose an explicit [merge policy](/ingestion/merge-insert). Creating an empty table
+and repeatedly appending the same batch does not deduplicate it.
+</Note>
+
+### From a custom schema {#from-a-custom-schema}
+
+You can define a custom Arrow schema for the table. This is useful when you want to have more control over the column types and metadata.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {CreateTableCustomSchema}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="TypeScript" icon="square-js">

+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsCreateTableCustomSchema}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+An explicit schema also determines which columns accept missing values (`null`). If later writes omit a
+non-nullable column, or provide actual nulls for it, ingestion fails; nullable columns can be
+omitted or written with null values. Without an explicit schema, Python infers list-like vector
+values as fixed-size `float32` vector fields from the observed dimension.
+
+For Python ingest, malformed vector values fail by default. If you expect occasional wrong-length,
+null, or NaN vectors, choose an `on_bad_vectors` policy: `"drop"` removes those rows, `"fill"` writes
+`fill_value`, and `"null"` writes nulls.
+
+### From an Arrow Table {#from-an-arrow-table}
+You can also create LanceDB tables directly from Arrow tables.
+Rust uses an Arrow `RecordBatchReader` for the same Arrow-native ingest flow.

+</CodeGroup>
+
+### From Pydantic Models {#from-pydantic-models}
+<Badge color="green">Python Only</Badge>
+
+When you create an empty table without data, you must specify the table schema.
+LanceDB supports creating tables by specifying a PyArrow schema or a specialized
+Pydantic model called `LanceModel`.
+
+For example, the following Content model specifies a table with 5 columns:
+`movie_id`, `vector`, `genres`, `title`, and `imdb_id`. When you create a table, you can
+pass the class as the value of the `schema` parameter to `create_table`.
+The `vector` column is a `Vector` type, which is a specialized Pydantic type that
+can be configured with the vector dimensions. It is also important to note that
+LanceDB only understands subclasses of `lancedb.pydantic.LanceModel`
+(which itself derives from `pydantic.BaseModel`).
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {CreateTableFromPydantic}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+#### Nested schemas {#nested-schemas}
+
+Sometimes your data model may contain nested objects. For example, you may want to store the document string and the document source name as a nested Document object:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {TablesDocumentModel}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+This can be used as the type of a LanceDB table column:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {CreateTableNestedSchema}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+This creates a struct column called "document" that has two subfields
+called "content" and "source":
+
+```bash
+In [28]: tbl.schema
+Out[28]:
+id: string not null
+vector: fixed_size_list<item: float>[1536] not null
+    child 0, item: float
+document: struct<content: string not null, source: string not null> not null
+    child 0, content: string not null
+    child 1, source: string not null
+```
+
+#### Validators {#validators}
+
+Because `LanceModel` inherits from Pydantic's `BaseModel`, you can combine them with Pydantic's
+[field validators](https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/concepts/validators). The example
+below shows how to add a validator to ensure that only valid timezone-aware datetime objects are used
+for a `created_at` field.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {TablesTzValidator}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+The example catches a `ValidationError` for the timestamp with a different
+timezone. A validator runs when the Pydantic model is constructed; declaring a
+model as the table schema does not make every later write run that validator.
+
+<Note>
+Datasets too large to pass to `create_table` at once are covered separately;
+see [Insert data](/ingestion/insert#large-datasets) for batches, file-backed
+input and write parallelism.
+</Note>
+
+## Create empty table {#create-empty-table}
+You can create an empty table for scenarios where you want to add data to the table later.
+An example would be when you want to collect data from a stream/external file and then add it to a table in
+batches.
+
+An empty table can be initialized via an Arrow schema.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {CreateEmptyTable}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="TypeScript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsCreateEmptyTable}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsCreateEmptyTable}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Alternatively, define the schema with `LanceModel`, a Pydantic model class
+provided by `lancedb.pydantic`. Its `Vector` type declares a fixed vector dimension.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {CreateEmptyTablePydantic}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Once the empty table has been created, you can append to it or modify its contents,
+as explained in [Ingesting data](/ingestion).
+
+## Open an existing table {#open-an-existing-table}
+
+You can open an existing table by specifying the name of the table to the `open_table` / `openTable` method.
+If you forget the name of your table, you can always get a listing of all table names.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">

+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsOpenExistingTable}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+## Drop a table {#drop-a-table}
+
+Use the `drop_table()` method on the database to remove a table.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {DropTable}
+    </CodeBlock>

+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsDropTable}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Dropping a table removes the table object. Deleting rows keeps the table and
+changes its contents; retained versions and cleanup are described in
+[Cleanup](/maintenance/cleanup).
+On a local database, dropping a table that does not exist raises an error; in
+Python, pass `ignore_missing=True` to suppress it. A deployment may report
+success instead, depending on how it stores its catalog, so do not rely on the
+error to tell you a table was missing. Python's deployment connection does not
+take `ignore_missing`.

+Ingestion brings data into a LanceDB table. Start by choosing a schema and
+creating the table, then choose a write operation according to how incoming
+records relate to data already stored.
+
+## Choose a write operation {#choose-a-write-method}
+
+| Task | Operation | What happens |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| [Create a table](/ingestion/create-table) | `create_table` / `createTable` | Create a table from data or an explicit schema. |
+| [Append records](/ingestion/insert) | `add` | Add rows without matching existing keys. |
+| [Upsert by key](/ingestion/merge-insert) | `merge_insert` / `mergeInsert` | Choose whether matching rows are updated and new keys inserted. |

+## Verify the result {#verify}
+
+After a write completes, inspect the affected keys and fields and check the row
+count. SDK return values differ by operation and language; use the relevant
+API reference when relying on returned counts or version metadata.
+
+Readers with older snapshots may not see another handle's writes immediately.
+See [Consistency](/tables/consistency). A table checked out at a historical
+version must return to the latest version before it can be modified.
+
+## Load larger datasets {#large-loads}
+
+Use batches or file-backed input when the dataset is too large to hold in
+memory. The [insert guide](/ingestion/insert#large-datasets) covers input
+formats, progress reporting and write parallelism. Keep retry behavior in mind:
+repeating an append is not the same as retrying a key-based upsert.

+Match the table's schema, including required fields and vector dimensions.
+Supported input formats differ by SDK; see
+[Create a table](/ingestion/create-table). Inspect conversion errors before
+retrying, and verify the final row count and representative values.
+
+## Choose input for a large load {#large-datasets}
+
+Avoid building one large in-memory list when records already live in files
+or arrive as batches. Create a table with the intended schema, then append
+through the appropriate input path.
+
+<span id="bulk-ingestion-for-data-you-already-have"></span>
+### Read from files {#from-files-parquet-csv-etc}
+
+Python accepts a `pyarrow.dataset.Dataset`. This example writes a small Parquet
+file locally, creates an empty table with its schema, and appends the two records.
+For your own data, point the dataset reader at the input files instead.
+
+<CodeBlock filename="load_parquet.py" language="python" icon="python">

+
+A file-backed source can be scanned without first loading the whole dataset
+into application memory. This Python input API is distinct from converting
+files to Arrow batches yourself in another language.
+
+<span id="iterator-ingestion-for-data-you-transform-on-the-fly"></span>
+### Produce batches during ingestion {#from-iterators-custom-batch-generation}
+
+Use batches when processing the input as it arrives. The Python example creates
+an empty table and appends ten records produced by a batch iterator.

+</CodeGroup>
+
+The language APIs differ: the TypeScript example appends each constructed Arrow
+batch, while the Rust example supplies an Arrow reader when creating the table.
+These are input-format examples, not equivalent parallel-write benchmarks.
+
+### Control write parallelism {#write-parallelism}
+
+Python's `add()` can estimate parallelism for materialized inputs. A streaming
+reader may not expose its total size or support replay. Use `write_parallelism`
+when controlling the number of concurrent partitions; increasing it can also
+increase memory use. TypeScript does not expose that manual option.
+
+Measure with realistic row sizes and storage. Avoid one write per row when a
+batch will do, and avoid a large worker count for a small input.
+
+## Track completion and progress {#tracking-ingestion-progress}
+
+Python, TypeScript and Rust support progress callbacks when adding data.
+These examples start with Alice, append Bob and Charlie, and print the number
+of rows written as progress updates arrive. After the write succeeds, they
+query the table to show all three records.
+
+Each program uses a temporary local database and removes it when finished.

+  extract the project, and run `cargo run --locked --bin progress`.

+
+For a progress bar in Python, install `tqdm` and pass `progress=True` instead
+of a callback.
+
+### Read progress updates
+
+Updates include row and byte counts, elapsed time, and parallel write activity.
+The field names differ by language:
+
+| Meaning | Python dictionary key | TypeScript property | Rust method |
+|:--------|:----------------------|:--------------------|:------------|
+| Rows written so far | `output_rows` | `outputRows` | `output_rows()` |
+| Bytes written so far | `output_bytes` | `outputBytes` | `output_bytes()` |
+| Expected row count, when known | `total_rows` | `totalRows` | `total_rows()` |
+| Elapsed time | `elapsed_seconds` | `elapsedSeconds` | `elapsed()` |
+| Active write tasks | `active_tasks` | `activeTasks` | `active_tasks()` |
+| Total write tasks | `total_tasks` | `totalTasks` | `total_tasks()` |
+| Final update | `done` | `done` | `done()` |
+
+Python and TypeScript report elapsed time in seconds; Rust returns a `Duration`.
+The expected row count may be unknown for streaming input. On the final update,
+it falls back to the number of rows written.
+
+Keep callbacks short and use the write operation's result to determine success.
+The final `done` update means progress reporting has ended; it can also occur
+after a write fails or is cancelled. Input errors before writing starts may
+produce no updates.
+
+TypeScript delivers callbacks asynchronously. Slow callbacks can queue up,
+and the `add()` promise may resolve before every callback has run. Exceptions
+from a TypeScript callback are logged and do not abort the write.
+
+## Verify writes and handle retries {#performance}
+
+Wait for the write operation's result, then check the expected records.
+Progress callbacks describe activity; they do not establish that a write
+succeeded. If a request fails after the server may have committed it, blindly
+repeating an append can duplicate rows. The client's automatic retries can do
+the same: on a remote table, the Python and TypeScript 0.40.0 clients resend an
+append after a retryable status such as `504`, even when the server had already
+committed it, and `add()` still returns success. Reconcile using your record
+IDs, or choose an upsert policy designed for replay.
+
+## Configure large uploads {#bulk-ingests-into-a-remote-table}
+
+<Badge color="red">Enterprise</Badge>
+
+This section applies only to remote tables (`db://` connections). Embedded (local) writes are unaffected.
+
+When you write to a remote LanceDB Enterprise table, the client sends the write as one HTTP `insert` request unless it splits the data into more than one partition, which it does for a large input it can measure or when you set [`write_parallelism`](#write-parallelism). A partitioned write goes up as a multipart write: the client cuts each partition into one or more `insert` parts and uploads them under a single upload id. Each part is streamed. Its size and duration still affect resource use and
+timeouts: it has to finish within the client read timeout while the server writes it to object storage, so on very large ingests an oversized part can run past that timeout and surface as:
+
+```text
+lancedb.remote.errors.HttpError: operation timed out
+```
+
+Two environment variables control how a multipart write's parts are cut. Both are picked up automatically by the Python and TypeScript clients, for clients that support these settings:
+
+| Variable | Default | What it controls |
+|----------|---------|------------------|
+| `LANCE_CLIENT_MAX_BYTES_PER_REQUEST` | 8 GiB | Maximum size of a single insert part, in LZ4-compressed Arrow IPC bytes. Set to `0` to disable splitting and send one request per partition. |
+| `LANCE_CLIENT_MAX_REQUEST_DURATION` | Half the read timeout | Maximum wall-clock time, in whole seconds, that any one insert part may stay open. Set to `0` to disable the time-based cut. |
+
+A part is cut after the input batch that reaches either limit, so cuts fall between batches. Lower the byte budget, with smaller input batches, when large ingests hit the read timeout; lower the duration when uploads are slow or throttled and the byte budget isn't the limiting factor.
+
+```bash
+export LANCE_CLIENT_MAX_BYTES_PER_REQUEST=1073741824  # 1 GiB
+export LANCE_CLIENT_MAX_REQUEST_DURATION=120          # 2 minutes
+```
+
+Splitting into more parts does not change the final table. The server stages the parts under their shared upload ID before committing
+the write. This upload protocol is separate from repeating an application-level
+`add()` after a timeout.

+
+Use merge insert when incoming records should be compared with existing rows.
+Combine update and insert policies for an **upsert**. Use [append](/ingestion/insert)
+when every incoming row should simply be added.
+
+## Merge incoming rows by key {#merge-incoming-rows-by-key}
+
+Merging is different from updating because it involves comparing incoming rows to existing rows by key, and then choosing what to do based on whether the key exists in the target table or not.
+Use `merge_insert("id")` in Python or the corresponding SDK builder.
+
+In merge operations, rows are split into three groups:
+
+- **Matched**: key exists in both source and target.
+- **Not matched**: key exists only in source.
+- **Not matched by source**: key exists only in target.
+
+Conditional merge clauses can compare old and new values. Use the `target.` prefix for the
+existing table row and `source.` for the incoming row, for example
+`target.last_update < source.last_update`.
+
+Choose a key that identifies the same record in the source and target. Check
+for duplicate and null keys before merging. A primary-key declaration does not
+enforce uniqueness on ordinary writes, and append operations do not deduplicate
+records for you.
+
+A scalar index on the key can help matching. Keep it current and measure the
+actual workload rather than assuming every merge uses an index. Enterprise may
+reject a merge when the unindexed scan exceeds its configured limit; inspect
+that error and the index state before retrying.
+
+## Choose a merge policy {#policies}
+
+| Source and target relationship | Available action |
+| --- | --- |
+| Key appears in both | Update matching target rows, optionally with a condition. |
+| Key appears only in the source | Insert it, or leave it out. |
+| Key appears only in the target | Keep it, or explicitly delete it under a synchronization policy. |
+
+The following examples are independent. Each starts from the table shown in
+its code, so the expected results do not depend on running the previous example.

+### Delete target rows that are missing from source {#delete-target-rows-that-are-missing-from-source}
+
+Use `when_not_matched_by_source_delete()` only when the incoming data is the
+complete set for the target scope you intend to synchronize. An incremental
+batch is usually not a complete source: deleting everything absent from it
+could remove unrelated target records. Inspect the unmatched target keys first.

+the target to the supplied source set.
+
+### Use partial columns in merge updates {#use-partial-columns-in-merge-updates}
+
+Merge updates do not require you to provide values for all columns. You can provide only a subset of columns in source rows. For matched rows, only the provided columns are updated.

+
+| id | name | login_count |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 1 | Alice | 10 |
+| 2 | Bobby | 20 |
+| 3 | Charlie | null |
+
+Note that in the example above, when `merge_insert` creates a new row, any missing columns are written as `null`. If a missing column is non-nullable in your schema, the insert will fail.
+
+## Check the merged records {#verify}
+
+Inspect the keys that should have changed, confirm that unrelated rows remain,
+and check inserted or deleted counts when the SDK returns them. Repeating a
+merge is only safe when its keys, conditions and update values produce the
+intended result on retry.
+
+### Embeddings and expression predicates {#advanced}
+
+When a table uses an [embedding definition](/embedding), behavior depends on
+which source and vector fields the incoming records provide. Do not assume a
+partial metadata update recomputes embeddings. Inspect the resulting vector
+when changing the input used to generate it.
+
+Rust's `when_matched_update_all_expr` and
+`when_not_matched_by_source_delete_expr` accept DataFusion expressions for
+local tables. Use the string predicate variants for Enterprise tables.

+These SDK expressions work with embedded OSS tables; they do not require an
+Enterprise SQL endpoint. Enterprise also offers [`UPDATE`](/sql/dml/update).
+
+## Verify the affected data {#verify}
+
+Read the selected rows again and inspect the changed fields. For another
+connection or table handle, account for its
+[read consistency](/tables/consistency) settings.
+
+Nested-field updates are not supported by these operations. For schema changes,
+see [schema evolution](/management/table#schema). Treat derived values separately:
+changing an input field is not a guarantee that every stored feature has been
+recomputed. See [Refresh a column](/feature-engineering/refresh-column).
+
+Updates can change index coverage and query cost. After a large update,
+inspect the workload and follow [index maintenance](/indexing/reindexing)
+guidance for the backend you use.
+
+## Complete write workflow {#complete-example}

+  PyFrameworksAgnoSetup,
+} from '/snippets/integrations.mdx';
+
+[Agno](https://docs.agno.com/introduction) is a framework for building agentic AI applications.
+It supports LanceDB as a knowledge backend, allowing you to easily ingest and retrieve external content for your agents.
+
+When you pair Agno's `Knowledge` system with LanceDB, you get a clean Agentic RAG setup.
+We'll walk through the steps below to build a YouTube transcript-aware Agno assistant that can:
+- Ingest a transcript from a YouTube video via the YouTube API
+- Store embeddings and metadata in LanceDB
+- Retrieve context during responses with hybrid search
+- Ask questions about the video content in a CLI chat loop
+
+## Prerequisites {#prerequisites}
+
+Install dependencies:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```bash pip icon="terminal"
+pip install -U agno openai lancedb youtube-transcript-api beautifulsoup4
+```
+
+```bash uv icon="terminal"
+uv add agno openai lancedb youtube-transcript-api beautifulsoup4
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+## Step 1: Configure LanceDB-backed knowledge {#step-1-configure-lancedb-backed-knowledge}
+
+First, you can initialize the core `Knowledge` object that your agent will use for retrieval.
+It configures LanceDB as the vector store, enables hybrid search with native LanceDB FTS, and sets the embedding model.
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+  {PyFrameworksAgnoSetup}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+## Step 2: Fetch and ingest the YouTube transcript {#step-2-fetch-and-ingest-the-youtube-transcript}
+
+Next, extract a YouTube video ID, fetch the full transcript, and flatten it into text for indexing.
+The snippet shown below then inserts that transcript text into the Agno knowledge base, which writes vectors and metadata to LanceDB.
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+  {PyFrameworksAgnoIngestYoutube}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+<Info>
+This path explicitly fetches the transcript first, then inserts transcript text into LanceDB through Agno.
+</Info>
+
+## Step 3: Create an Agno agent with knowledge search {#step-3-create-an-agno-agent-with-knowledge-search}
+
+The next step is to construct an Agno `Agent` and attach the knowledge base you just populated.
+With `search_knowledge=True`, the agent performs retrieval before answering, so responses stay grounded in transcript context.
+
+In Agno, retrieval is exposed as a tool call that the model can invoke at runtime.
+When `search_knowledge=True`, Agno makes a knowledge-search tool (shown in output as `search_knowledge_base(...)`) available to the model; the model decides when to call it, Agno executes the tool, and the returned context is fed back into the final answer.
+

+  {PyFrameworksAgnoAgent}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+## Step 4: Start a CLI chat loop {#step-4-start-a-cli-chat-loop}
+
+You can now ask an initial question and then start an interactive loop for follow-up queries.
+Each prompt runs through the same retrieval pipeline, so you can iteratively inspect what the transcript contains.

+
+## Why this works well {#why-this-works-well}
+
+To start, LanceDB OSS can run from a local directory, so transcript data can stay on your machine when you are using the OSS stack.
+
+- You do not need to maintain a separate transcript parser in your application code.
+- You do not need to hand-roll chunking and retrieval orchestration across multiple modules.
+- One explicit Agno `Knowledge` object, backed by LanceDB, defines both ingestion and search behavior in one place.
+- Fewer moving parts means the tutorial stays readable and the same pattern is easier to carry into production code.
+
+As your application needs grow, you can migrate to LanceDB [Enterprise](/enterprise) for
+convenience features like automatic compaction and reindexing and the ability to scale to
+really large datasets.

+description: "Use LanceDB as a persistent, semantic memory backend for Hermes Agent. Get durable recall across sessions with vector and hybrid search."
+---
+
+[Hermes Agent](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent) is a self-hosted, open-source
+personal agent from [Nous Research](https://nousresearch.com). You can talk to it from a
+terminal UI or reach the same agent from Telegram, Discord, and Slack, and it exposes a
+dedicated slot for external *memory providers* that run alongside its built-in notes.
+
+The [LanceDB memory plugin](https://github.com/lancedb/hermes-agent-memory) fills that slot.
+It gives Hermes durable, semantic recall across sessions: state a preference or a project
+convention once, and the agent can retrieve it weeks later in a brand-new session — even when
+you ask for it in completely different words. Everything runs inside Hermes' own Python
+process, storing a single LanceDB table on local disk. There's no memory server to operate.
+
+<Info>
+**The mental model is clean**
+
+- Hermes owns the agent loop
+- LanceDB manages the durable long-term memory and offers semantic recall.
+</Info>
+
+## Why LanceDB fits agent memory {#why-lancedb-fits-agent-memory}
+
+Out of the box, Hermes remembers with a small curated notes file frozen into the system
+prompt, plus lexical (keyword) search over past sessions. Both are useful, but keyword search
+misses paraphrases of what you originally typed — the exact thing you need when recalling a
+fact you phrased differently months ago.
+
+LanceDB OSS is an embedded retrieval library, which makes it a natural fit here:
+
+- **No server to stand up** — it reads and writes a table on local disk, so the plugin ships
+  as a dependency rather than a service to operate.
+- **One table holds everything** — content, metadata, and embeddings live together. A memory
+  becomes a structured row with a category, tags, timestamps, and provenance, not just a text
+  blob.
+- **Query it any way you need** — vector similarity for meaning, BM25 full-text for exact
+  names and jargon, a hybrid of the two, or plain metadata filters to keep recall scoped to
+  the right workspace.
+- **It scales up** — the same table abstraction carries over to larger LanceDB deployments
+  later, so the local setup is never a dead end.
+
+## Install and activate {#install-and-activate}
+
+<Tip>
+Want to try this without touching your existing Hermes setup? Run everything in an isolated
+profile: `hermes profile create demo`, then add `-p demo` to the commands below. When you're
+done, `rm -rf ~/.hermes/profiles/demo` removes all trace.
+</Tip>
+
+<Steps>
+<Step title="Install Hermes Agent">
+Skip this if you already have Hermes installed.
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
+```
+</Step>
+
+<Step title="Install the plugin">
+This shallow-clones the plugin into `~/.hermes/plugins/lancedb/`.
+
+```bash
+hermes plugins install lancedb/hermes-agent-memory
+```
+</Step>
+
+<Step title="Install runtime dependencies into Hermes' environment">
+Hermes loads plugins inside its own Python interpreter, so the dependencies go *there* — not
+into a separate virtualenv. (This interpreter is shared across profiles, so you only install
+once.)
+
+```bash
+uv pip install --python ~/.hermes/hermes-agent/venv/bin/python3 lancedb openai pyyaml
+```
+</Step>
+
+<Step title="Set your embeddings API key">
+The plugin turns conversations into embeddings, so it needs an embeddings key. By default that
+is OpenAI, so set `OPENAI_API_KEY` in your environment or in `~/.hermes/.env`.
+
+<Info>
+Prefer a local or non-OpenAI model? The plugin uses an OpenAI-compatible client, so you can
+point it at any compatible endpoint (OpenRouter, Ollama, vLLM, …) in your config — no code
+change needed. See [Configuration](#configuration) below.
+</Info>
+</Step>
+
+<Step title="Activate and verify">
+Switch memory on and pick this plugin:
+
+```bash
+hermes memory setup     # choose "lancedb"
+```
+
+Then confirm it's actually active before you start chatting — this is the one step worth not
+skipping, because Hermes quietly falls back to its built-in notes if the provider isn't set:
+
+```bash
+hermes memory status
+```
+
+```text
+Memory status
+────────────────────────────────────────
+  Built-in:  always active
+  Provider:  lancedb
+
+  Plugin:    installed ✓
+  Status:    available ✓
+```
+
+You want to see `Provider: lancedb` with both `installed ✓` and `available ✓`.
+</Step>
+</Steps>
+
+## The memory tools {#the-memory-tools}
+
+Once activated, the agent has four tools for working with long-term memory:
+
+| Tool | What it does |
+|:--|:--|
+| `lancedb_recall` | Semantic (vector, the default) or hybrid search over your workspace memory. Returns matching facts with scores and provenance. |
+| `lancedb_remember` | Stores a durable fact when you explicitly ask. Deduplicated by content hash, so remembering the same thing twice doesn't pile up rows. |
+| `lancedb_read` | Fetches a single memory by ID, optionally with the original conversation messages it was distilled from. |
+| `lancedb_forget` | Deletes safely: previews candidates first, then deletes by exact ID, so nothing disappears by accident. |
+
+Beyond these tools, the plugin also captures durable facts from your conversations
+automatically — an auxiliary model distills them before context is compressed and again when a
+session ends, so insights survive even when the raw messages are summarized away.
+
+## Walkthrough {#walkthrough}
+
+"_Teach it your project preferences_"
+
+Let's make this concrete with the pain we opened on: re-explaining your setup to the agent every session.
+We'll save a convention once and then prove a brand-new session can recall it. This example will touch all four
+tools along the way.
+
+### Remember {#remember}
+
+Ask Hermes to commit a convention to long-term memory. Saying "remember in long-term memory"
+makes sure it lands in the LanceDB store, which shows up as the `⚡ lancedb_r` (`lancedb_remember`)
+line below:
+
+```text
+● Remember in long-term memory: for this project I only use uv, never pip, and I always add type hints to Python functions.
+
+  ┊ 🧠 memory    +memory: "For this project, the user only uses uv for Python package management, never pip, and always adds type hints to Python functions."
+  ┊ ⚡ lancedb_r   0.0s
+ ─  ⚕ Hermes  ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+
+     Remembered. I've stored that project convention: use uv only, never pip, and always add type hints to Python functions.
+```
+
+### Recall {#recall}
+
+First, take Hermes' built-in notes out of the picture so recall can *only* come from LanceDB —
+the two layers run side by side otherwise, and either could answer:
+
+```bash
+hermes config set memory.memory_enabled false
+```
+
+Now start a fresh session (`/new`) and ask for the convention back, worded completely
+differently from how you saved it:
+
+```text
+● /new
+● Look through your long-term memory for my Python project preferences.
+
+ ─  ⚕ Hermes  ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+
+     I found one durable memory about Python project preferences:
+
+     - Project Python tooling preference is uv; pip is not used; type hints are required.
+```
+
+This is the whole point in one exchange. You asked about your *preferences* using none of the
+words you stored the fact with — no *uv*, no *pip*, no *type hints* — yet a fresh session, with
+none of the earlier conversation in context, pulls it straight back. Semantic search matches on
+meaning rather than exact wording, which is precisely where keyword search falls short.
+
+<Tip>
+Turn the built-in layer back on for everyday use with `hermes config set memory.memory_enabled true`
+— the two memory layers happily coexist. We only disabled it here to prove the recall came from
+LanceDB.
+</Tip>
+
+### Read {#read}
+
+You can also ask where a fact came from. Hermes attributes the answer to its stored memory
+rather than guessing from a file in the repo (under the hood, `lancedb_read` can also return
+the exact source messages a fact was distilled from):
+
+```text
+● Where did that uv preference come from?
+
+ ─  ⚕ Hermes  ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+
+     It came from the project's persistent memory, not from a codebase file I inspected.
+
+     Specifically, the recalled memory says:
+     - "For this project, the user only uses uv for Python package management, never pip, and always adds type hints to Python functions."
+```
+
+### Forget {#forget}
+
+When a preference changes, ask Hermes to drop the old fact. The tool calls tell the whole
+story: the two `⚡ lancedb_f` (`lancedb_forget`) lines are it previewing matches and then
+deleting, and the trailing `⚡ lancedb_r` is it saving the replacement in the same breath:
+
+```text
+● I've switched from uv to pixi. Forget the uv preference.
+
+  ┊ ⚡ lancedb_f uv preference python package management never pip type hints  0.3s
+  ┊ ⚡ lancedb_f   0.0s
+  ┊ ⚡ lancedb_r   0.2s
+ ─  ⚕ Hermes  ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+
+     Done — I removed the uv preference from memory and replaced it with:
+
+     - This project uses pixi for Python package management
+     - Type hints on Python functions are still preferred
+```
+
+Remember, recall, read, forget: four small operations that between them cover the entire
+lifecycle of a durable memory.
+
+## Retrieval modes {#retrieval-modes}
+
+Recall ships in `vector` mode by default — pure semantic search, which is what survives the
+paraphrasing you saw above. If you also need exact name or jargon matching, switch to `hybrid`
+(vector + BM25) and choose how the two legs are fused: RRF, a vector-biased linear blend, or a
+cross-encoder reranker. Mode is set per call; fusion is a config setting.
+
+```yaml
+# ~/.hermes/config.yaml
+plugins:
+  lancedb:
+    retrieval:
+      mode: hybrid          # vector (default) | hybrid
+      reranker:
+        type: rrf           # how the vector + BM25 legs are fused
+        # Swap RRF for a reranking pass (pulls in sentence-transformers + torch):
+        # type: cross-encoder
+        # model: cross-encoder/ettin-reranker-17m-v1
+        # rerank_top_n: 50
+```
+
+The cross-encoder is the one path that pulls in a local ML stack, so it stays opt-in. It
+defaults to the compact 17M-parameter [ettin reranker](https://huggingface.co/cross-encoder/ettin-reranker-17m-v1).
+
+## Inspect the store {#inspect-the-store}
+
+Everything lives in one table named `memories` at `~/.hermes/lancedb/memories.lance`. Because
+it's a plain LanceDB table, you can open it directly and see exactly what the agent has stored
+— a `kind` column separates extracted `fact` rows from the raw `turn` rows they were drawn
+from:
+
+```python
+import lancedb
+
+db = lancedb.connect("~/.hermes/lancedb")
+tbl = db.open_table("memories")
+print(tbl.to_pandas()[["kind", "category", "content"]].head())
+```
+
+## Configuration {#configuration}
+
+The plugin runs on sensible defaults once activated — you don't have to configure anything.
+`~/.hermes/config.yaml` is purely for overrides. Two common ones:
+
+Use a cheaper model for the auxiliary fact-extraction calls:
+
+```yaml
+# ~/.hermes/config.yaml
+auxiliary:
+  lancedb_extraction:
+    provider: openrouter
+    model: google/gemini-3-flash
+```
+
+Point embeddings at a fully local endpoint (for example, Ollama) so nothing leaves your
+machine:
+
+```yaml
+# ~/.hermes/config.yaml
+plugins:
+  lancedb:
+    embedding:
+      model: nomic-embed-text
+      base_url: http://localhost:11434/v1
+      api_key_env: OLLAMA_API_KEY      # any value works for local Ollama
+```
+
+<Info>
+Changing the embedding model (or its dimension) against an existing store requires recreating
+the table — the plugin fails loudly on a dimension mismatch rather than silently returning
+nothing. Every option is documented in the plugin's [`default_config.yaml`](https://github.com/lancedb/hermes-agent-memory/blob/main/src/default_config.yaml).
+</Info>
+
+## Benchmark {#benchmark}
+
+On [LongMemEval-S](https://huggingface.co/datasets/xiaowu0162/longmemeval-cleaned), a
+long-conversation QA benchmark, LanceDB's semantic recall clearly beat Hermes' built-in lexical
+search (0.66 vs. 0.53 answer accuracy) by finding the right messages even when the question was
+worded differently from the original conversation. For the full methodology, the
+per-question-type breakdown, and a reproducible harness, see the
+[blog post](https://www.lancedb.com/blog/semantic-memory-for-hermes-agent-with-lancedb) and the
+[benchmark harness](https://github.com/lancedb/hermes-agent-memory/tree/main/benchmarks).
+
+## Why this works well {#why-this-works-well}
+
+- **It's local-first and embedded.** The LanceDB memory table lives on your disk with no server to run;
+  the plugin installs as a dependency of Hermes' own environment.
+- **Recall survives paraphrasing.** Semantic search matches meaning, not spelling, which is the
+  failure mode that sinks keyword-only session search.
+- **Memories are structured and traceable.** Each fact is a row with metadata and a link back
+  to the messages it came from, and `forget` always previews before it deletes.
+- **Nothing about it is a dead end.** As your needs grow, the same table abstraction carries
+  over to LanceDB [Enterprise](/enterprise) for automatic compaction, reindexing, and scale.
+
+To try it, install the plugin, enable it with `hermes memory setup`, and run the kind of
+workflow we walked through above.

+description: "Use LanceDB directly on Lance datasets hosted on the Hugging Face Hub for multimodal search and retrieval."
+availability:
+  oss: available
+  enterprise: unavailable
+  summary: >-
+    The embedded library opens Lance datasets on the Hugging Face Hub in place
+    through `hf://` URIs. A deployment does not read `hf://` datasets.
+---
+
+[Hugging Face Hub](https://huggingface.co/datasets?format=format:lance&sort=trending) is a popular platform for sharing machine learning datasets, models, and other resources.
+
+LanceDB can directly scan Lance datasets hosted on the [Hugging Face Hub](https://huggingface.co/datasets?format=format:lance) with `hf://` URIs.
+This is enabled under the hood by the [lance-huggingface](https://lance.org/integrations/huggingface/)
+integration that allows users to stream Lance datasets directly from Hugging Face without needing to
+download them first.
+
+For ML and AI engineers working in LanceDB, this capability is incredibly useful for quickly exploring
+multimodal datasets and reusing Lance datasets shared by others, without writing custom data loaders
+or preprocessing pipelines.
+
+The snippets below use the [`lance-format/laion-1m`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lance-format/laion-1m)
+dataset published in Lance format. The dataset includes a million image-caption pairs, and the
+Lance dataset can package image embeddings alongside the metadata. This makes it useful for
+demonstrating LanceDB's multimodal search capabilities in combination with easy sharing via the
+Hugging Face Hub.
+
+The LAION table includes multimodal columns such as:
+
+- `image` (inline JPEG bytes)
+- `caption` (text)
+- `img_emb` (image embedding vector)
+- metadata fields such as `url` and `similarity`
+
+## Install dependencies {#install-dependencies}
+
+```bash
+pip install lancedb pillow
+```
+
+## Open the dataset with LanceDB {#open-the-dataset-with-lancedb}
+
+LanceDB can open the dataset directly from the Hub, without needing to download it first.
+Note that in LanceDB, you need to specify the table name when opening a Lance dataset,
+and the Hugging Face convention is to use `train` and `test` splits for datasets.
+The LAION dataset is uploaded as a single split named `train`, so we specify the table name
+that contains the `*.lance` files when opening the dataset.
+
+```python
+import lancedb
+
+db = lancedb.connect("hf://datasets/lance-format/laion-1m/data")
+table = db.open_table("train")
+
+print(f"Opened table: {table.name}")
+print(f"Rows: {len(table)}")
+```
+
+## Inspect schema and available indexes {#inspect-schema-and-available-indexes}
+
+```python
+print(table.schema)
+```
+This prints the schema of the LAION table. Note that there's an image embedding column that's
+a fixed-size list of 768-dimensional floats, and a binary column containing the raw JPEG bytes of the image.
+```
+image_path: string
+caption: string
+NSFW: string
+similarity: double
+LICENSE: string
+url: string
+key: string
+status: string
+error_message: null
+width: int64
+height: int64
+original_width: int64
+original_height: int64
+exif: string
+md5: string
+img_emb: fixed_size_list<item: float>[768]
+  child 0, item: float
+image: binary
+```
+
+When inspecting Lance datasets from Hugging Face, it's also a good idea to check whether the dataset author included
+any pre-built indexes that you can use for search. You can check the available indexes with:
+
+```python
+print(table.list_indices())
+```
+```
+[
+    Index(IvfPq, columns=["img_emb"], name="img_emb_idx"),
+    Index(FTS, columns=["caption"], name="caption_idx")
+]
+```
+
+In this case, we see that we have an IVF_PQ vector index on the `img_emb` column, and an FTS index on the `caption`
+column, which means we can directly do vector search on the image embeddings and keyword search on the captions
+without needing to build the indexes ourselves!
+
+<Info>
+If you see an empty list, it may be because the dataset author did not include the index files when uploading
+to Hugging Face. You can download the dataset locally, and build the indexes yourself. See the [indexing guide](/indexing/)
+for instructions on building different types of indexes with LanceDB.
+</Info>
+
+## Projection scan {#projection-scan}
+
+Run a simple scan by projecting relevant columns to get a feel for the dataset. For example, we
+can run a search without any filters or input parameters to get a small subset of the data:
+
+```python
+rows = (
+    table.search()
+    .select(["caption", "url", "similarity"])
+    .limit(3)
+    .to_list()
+)
+
+for i, row in enumerate(rows, start=1):
+    print(f"{i}. {row['caption']}")
+    print(f"   url={row['url']}")
+    print(f"   similarity={row['similarity']}")
+```
+
+We get the first three rows and their metadata printed out, which look like this:
+```
+1. Cordelia and Dudley on their wedding  day last year
+   url=https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/01/05/article-2082728-0EF8956600000578-53_233x315.jpg
+   similarity=0.2926466464996338
+2. Statistics on challenges for automation in 2021
+   url=https://verloop.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Challenges.jpg
+   similarity=0.30174341797828674
+3. Teacher Gifts / Great gifts for your child's teacher.  Don't know what to get?  Take a look at these gifts that the teacher in your life will love!
+   url=https://i.pinimg.com/custom_covers/216x146/550494823141083777_1487893945.jpg
+   similarity=0.3362061381340027
+```
+
+## Scan and filter data {#scan-and-filter-data}
+
+Filtered search is a common pattern to narrow down interesting subsets of the data during early
+exploration. Here's an example:
+
+```python
+filtered = (
+    table.search()
+    .where("height > 600")
+    .select(["caption", "url", "width", "height"])
+    .limit(3)
+    .to_list()
+)
+
+for row in filtered:
+    print(row["caption"], row["url"], row["width"], row["height"])
+```
+
+This prints out the metadata for large images with height greater than 600 pixels:
+```
+Luca Trousers, mustard stripe https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0151/5333/products/IMG_0791_1024x1024.jpg?v=1585142190 384 766
+Baby Blue Fitted Short Sleeve T Shirt 3 https://cdn-img.prettylittlething.com/a/d/d/1/add198cab3ec30a61102437275573f4963642528_cmf6022_3.jpg 384 612
+pattern cutting made easy pdf https://i.pinimg.com/736x/7c/6c/a7/7c6ca7361815a8929b3dd6ad34a03ab9.jpg 384 1045
+```
+
+## Export image bytes to local files {#export-image-bytes-to-local-files}
+
+To work with a subset of the data locally, you can export the image bytes from the table and save them as JPEG files.
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+
+sample = (
+    table.search()
+    .select(["image", "caption"])
+    .limit(3)
+    .to_list()
+)
+
+out_dir = Path("samples")
+out_dir.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
+
+for i, row in enumerate(sample):
+    out_path = out_dir / f"laion_{i}.jpg"
+    with open(out_path, "wb") as f:
+        f.write(row["image"])
+    print(f"Saved {out_path} | caption={row['caption']}")
+```
+
+You can now preview the images you just exported on your local machine to get a better sense of the data.
+
+## Vector search {#vector-search}
+
+You can use LanceDB to run vector search directly on the data on the Hub, **without needing to download the dataset
+or build your own vector index**. This makes it incredibly easy to explore the dataset and iterate on your search queries
+before you decide to download a local copy for further experimentation on your end.
+
+```python
+# Pick an arbitrary image embedding from the dataset
+query_embedding = (
+    table.search()
+    .select(["img_emb"])
+    .limit(1)
+    .to_list()[0]["img_emb"]
+)
+
+results = (
+    table.search(query_embedding, vector_column_name="img_emb")
+    .select(["caption", "url", "_distance"])
+    .limit(3)
+    .to_list()
+)
+
+for row in results:
+    print(row["_distance"], row["caption"])
+```
+
+| distance | caption |
+| --- | --- |
+| 0.17765313386917114 | Cordelia and Dudley on their wedding  day last year |
+| 0.17765313386917114 | Cordelia and Dudley on their wedding  day last year |
+| 0.17765313386917114 | Cordelia and Dudley on their wedding  day last year |
+
+<Warning>
+Note that the LAION dataset is known to contain a lot of duplicate images, so you may see the same image
+showing up multiple times in the search results.
+</Warning>
+
+## Full-text search {#full-text-search}
+
+Run an FTS search query that uses BM25 ranking on the `caption` column (on which we already have an FTS index):
+
+```python
+fts_results = (
+    table.search("dog running on beach", query_type="fts")
+    .select(["caption", "url", "_score"])
+    .limit(3)
+    .to_list()
+)
+```
+
+| caption | url | _score |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| running with dog | https://www.doggytastic.com/wp… | 15.73168 |
+| Dog Running in Water | https://static.wixstatic.com/m… | 14.756516 |
+| Dogs on the run by heidiannemo… | http://ih2.redbubble.net/image… | 14.756516 |
+
+## Download the full dataset {#download-the-full-dataset}
+
+<Warning>
+You may hit Hugging Face rate limits when streaming large samples from `hf://`, despite using a Hugging Face token.
+For repeated queries or queries that operate on the full dataset, it's recommended to
+download the dataset locally and query from disk.
+</Warning>
+
+Here's how to download the entire dataset via the [Hugging Face CLI](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/en/guides/cli):
+
+```bash
+huggingface-cli download lance-format/laion-1m --repo-type dataset --local-dir ./laion-1m
+```
+
+## Upload your own datasets to Hugging Face in Lance format {#upload-your-own-datasets-to-hugging-face-in-lance-format}
+
+This section shows how you can upload your own Lance datasets to the Hugging Face Hub to share with the community.
+
+First, install the [Hugging Face CLI](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/en/guides/cli) and export both `OPENAI_API_KEY` and `HF_TOKEN`.
+Then, create a Lance dataset using LanceDB on a local machine, and then proceed to upload it to the Hub via a CLI command.
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=...
+export HF_TOKEN=hf_...
+hf auth login --token "$HF_TOKEN"
+```
+
+A typical sequence of steps is given below.
+
+### 1\. Upload your local directory to the Hub {#1-upload-your-local-directory-to-the-hub}
+
+Upload the full local directory to a specified repository on the Hugging Face Hub. The command below uploads the contents of your local LanceDB directory at `/path/to/your_local_dir` to a new repository named `your_hf_org/repo_name` under your Hugging Face account.
+
+```bash bash icon="code"
+hf upload-large-folder /path/to/your_local_dir your_hf_org/repo_name \
+  --repo-type dataset \
+  --revision main
+```
+
+<Info>
+The `upload-large-folder` command is designed for [uploading large datasets](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/en/guides/upload) (potentially terabytes in size) and will handle multipart uploads, retries, and resuming interrupted uploads.
+</Info>
+
+### 2\. Inspect dataset versions {#2-inspect-dataset-versions}
+
+Because you can query your remote dataset directly from Hugging Face with `hf://` URIs in LanceDB, you can easily inspect the dataset versions and updates on the Hub without needing to download the data locally. This is very useful to keep track of changes to the dataset and iterate on your data collection and curation process.
+
+```python Python icon="python"
+import lancedb
+
+db = lancedb.connect("hf://datasets/your_hf_org/repo_name")
+table = db.open_table("table_name")
+
+versions = table.list_versions()
+print(versions)
+```
+This will print out the list of versions available for the dataset on the Hub, along with their metadata such as creation date and description.
+
+### 3\. Add a dataset card {#3-add-a-dataset-card}
+
+The Hub dataset card allows you to communicate the schema and usage of the dataset to other developers. It sits at the repo's root in a file named `README.md` on the Hub.
+This project keeps the source card text in `HF_DATASET_CARD.md`, so you can publish updates
+to the dataset there and upload it as `README.md` using the following command on the HF CLI:
+this requires a regular `hf upload` because it is a single-file upload to a specific target path (a custom commit message can be added if you wish).
+
+```bash
+hf upload lancedb/magical_kingdom HF_DATASET_CARD.md README.md \
+  --repo-type dataset \
+  --commit-message "Update dataset card"
+```
+
+### 4\. Update the dataset {#4-update-the-dataset}
+
+Over time, you may want to add new rows (append) or columns (backfill) to your dataset as your needs evolve. You can make the necessary updates to your local dataset using LanceDB, and then upload the updated version back to the Hub with the same `hf upload-large-folder` command.
+
+```bash bash icon="code"
+hf upload-large-folder /path/to/your_local_dir your_hf_org/repo_name \
+  --repo-type dataset \
+  --revision main
+```
+The CLI will only upload the new data that has changed since the last upload, avoiding wasted I/O while making it easy to keep your dataset up-to-date on the Hub.
+
+That's it! Your dataset is now updated on the Hub with the new data and schema changes, and other users can query the latest version of the dataset directly from Hugging Face with `hf://` URIs in LanceDB.
+
+## Explore more Lance datasets on Hugging Face {#explore-more-lance-datasets-on-hugging-face}
+
+The LanceDB team is actively uploading useful and interesting datasets in Lance format to the Hugging Face Hub
+under the [lance-format](https://huggingface.co/lance-format) organization. We actively encourage the Hugging Face
+and LanceDB communities to upload their own Lance datasets to the Hub to share with others!
+
+In the meantime, feel free to check out the Hugging Face Hub to discover more Lance datasets uploaded by the community.

+![Illustration](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lancedb/assets/refs/heads/main/docs/assets/integration/langchain_rag.png)
+
+LangChain streamlines these stages (in figure above) by providing pre-built components and tools for integration, memory management, and deployment, allowing developers to focus on application logic rather than underlying complexities.
+
+Integration of **Langchain** with **LanceDB** enables applications to retrieve the most relevant data by comparing query vectors against stored vectors, facilitating effective information retrieval. It results in better and context aware replies and actions by the LLMs.
+
+## Quick Start {#quick-start}
+You can load your document data using langchain's loaders, for this example we are using `TextLoader` and `OpenAIEmbeddings` as the embedding model.

+
+## Documentation {#documentation}
+In the above example `LanceDB` vector store class object is created using `from_documents()` method  which is a `classmethod` and returns the initialized class object. 
+
+You can also use `LanceDB.from_texts(texts: List[str],embedding: Embeddings)` class method.

+## Quickstart {#quickstart}
+
+LlamaIndex is a well-known framework for building LLM-powered agents over your data with LLMs and workflows.
+You can build your LlamaIndex pipeline and persist your metadata and embeddings in LanceDB via the `LanceDBVectorStore` class.
+
+First, install the LlamaIndex-LanceDB integration.
+
+<CodeBlock filename="bash" language="bash" icon="terminal">
+pip install llama-index-vector-stores-LanceDB
+</CodeBlock>
+
+Run the below script as an example.
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+  {PyFrameworksLlamaindexQuickStart}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+The vector store connector will open an existing LanceDB directory or create the directory if it does not exist.
+
+### Filtering {#filtering}
+For metadata filtering, you can use a Lance SQL-like string filter as demonstrated in the example above. Additionally, you can also filter using the `MetadataFilters` class from LlamaIndex:

+title: "Meta Llama Synthetic Data Kit"
+sidebarTitle: "Synthetic Data Kit"
+description: "Use Meta Llama's Synthetic Data Kit with LanceDB to generate high-quality synthetic datasets for LLM fine-tuning and training."
+
+---
+
+
+
+[Synthetic Data Kit](https://github.com/meta-llama/synthetic-data-kit) is a tool from Meta LLAMA that helps you generate high-quality synthetic datasets for fine-tuning large language models (LLMs). It simplifies the process of preparing data for fine-tuning by providing a command-line interface (CLI) with a modular four-command flow.
+
+One of the key features of the `synthetic-data-kit` is its use of the Lance format for storing and ingesting datasets. This allows for efficient storage and retrieval of data, which is crucial when working with large datasets.
+
+### Key Features: {#key-features}
+
+*   **Data Ingestion:** The toolkit can ingest various file formats, including PDF, HTML, YouTube transcripts, DOCX, PPT, and TXT.
+*   **Fine-tuning Format Creation:** It can create different fine-tuning formats, such as question-answer (QA) pairs, QA pairs with Chain-of-Thought (CoT), and summarization formats.
+*   **Data Curation:** The tool uses Llama as a judge to curate high-quality examples, ensuring the quality of the generated dataset.
+*   **Flexible Saving Options:** You can save the generated datasets in various formats compatible with your fine-tuning workflow, including Hugging Face, JSONL, and JSON.
+
+### How it Works: {#how-it-works}
+
+The synthetic-data-kit follows a simple four-step process:
+
+1.  **Ingest:** Import your input files into the toolkit. The data is stored in the Lance format for efficient processing.
+2.  **Create:** Generate diverse fine-tuning datasets, such as reasoning, summarization, and QA pairs, from the ingested documents.
+3.  **Curate:** Use Llama to filter and select high-quality examples from the generated dataset.
+4.  **Save-as:** Export the curated dataset in your preferred format.
+
+### Usage {#usage}
+
+The `synthetic-data-kit` uses Lance format to store and manage the data that you ingest. The workflow is a series of commands that build on each other, starting with the `ingest` command.
+
+Here is an example of the end-to-end workflow:
+
+1.  **Ingest Data into a LanceDB dataset**
+
+    This command takes a directory of source files and creates a LanceDB dataset from them.
+
+    ```bash
+    synthetic-data-kit ingest docs/report.pdf --multimodal
+    # This will create a Lance dataset at data/parsed/report.lance
+    # with 'text' and 'image' columns.
+    
+    #Generate multimodal-qa pairs from the ingested data
+    synthetic-data-kit create data/parsed/report.lance --type multimodal-qa
+    ```
+
+2.  **Create fine-tuning data**
+
+    This command uses the LanceDB dataset created in the previous step to generate synthetic data in the desired format.
+
+    ```bash
+    synthetic_data create data/parsed/report.lance
+    ```
+
+3.  **Curate the data**
+
+    This step uses a language model to curate the generated data and ensure its quality.
+
+    ```bash
+    synthetic_data curate report.json
+    ```
+
+4.  **Save the final dataset**
+
+    Finally, save the curated data to a file in the desired format.
+
+    ```bash
+    synthetic_data save-as  report.json --save_path ./my_finetuning_data.jsonl
+    ```
+
+This workflow allows you to go from a collection of documents to a high-quality, fine-tuning dataset with just a few commands. The use of LanceDB in the background makes the process efficient and scalable.
+
+### Getting Started: {#getting-started}
+
+To get started with the synthetic-data-kit, you can clone the [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/meta-llama/synthetic-data-kit) and install the necessary dependencies. 
+
+> **Note:** You will also need access to a Llama model, either running locally or via a hosted API.

+
+[dlt](https://dlthub.com/docs/intro) is an open-source library that you can add to your Python scripts to load data from various and often messy data sources into well-structured, live datasets. dlt's [integration with LanceDB](https://dlthub.com/docs/dlt-ecosystem/destinations/lancedb) lets you ingest data from any source (databases, APIs, CSVs, dataframes, JSONs, and more) into LanceDB with a few lines of simple python code. The integration enables automatic normalization of nested data, schema inference, incremental loading and embedding the data. dlt also has integrations with several other tools like dbt, airflow, dagster etc. that can be inserted into your LanceDB workflow.
+
+## How to ingest data into LanceDB {#how-to-ingest-data-into-lancedb}
+
+In this example, we will be fetching movie information from the [Open Movie Database (OMDb) API](https://www.omdbapi.com/) and loading it into a local LanceDB instance. To implement it, you will need an API key for the OMDb API (which can be created freely [here](https://www.omdbapi.com/apikey.aspx)).
+  
+1. **Install `dlt` with LanceDB extras:**  
+    ```sh 
+    pip install dlt[lancedb]
+    ```
+
+2. **Inside an empty directory, initialize a `dlt` project with:**  
+    ```sh
+    dlt init rest_api lancedb
+    ```
+    This will add all the files necessary to create a `dlt` pipeline that can ingest data from any REST API (ex: OMDb API) and load into LanceDB.
+    ```text
+    ├── .dlt
+    │   ├── config.toml
+    │   └── secrets.toml
+    ├── rest_api
+    ├── rest_api_pipeline.py
+    └── requirements.txt
+    ```
+  
+    dlt has a list of pre-built [sources](https://dlthub.com/docs/dlt-ecosystem/verified-sources/) like [SQL databases](https://dlthub.com/docs/dlt-ecosystem/verified-sources/sql_database), [REST APIs](https://dlthub.com/docs/dlt-ecosystem/verified-sources/rest_api), [Google Sheets](https://dlthub.com/docs/dlt-ecosystem/verified-sources/google_sheets), [Notion](https://dlthub.com/docs/dlt-ecosystem/verified-sources/notion) etc., that can be used out-of-the-box by running `dlt init <source_name> lancedb`. Since dlt is a python library, it is also very easy to modify these pre-built sources or to write your own custom source from scratch.
+
+
+3. **Specify necessary credentials and/or embedding model details:**  
+    
+    In order to fetch data from the OMDb API, you will need to pass a valid API key into your pipeline. Depending on whether you're using LanceDB OSS or LanceDB Enterprise, you also may need to provide the necessary credentials to connect to the LanceDB instance. These can be pasted inside `.dlt/secrets.toml`. 
+
+    dlt's LanceDB integration also allows you to automatically embed the data during ingestion. Depending on the embedding model chosen, you may need to paste the necessary credentials inside `.dlt/secrets.toml`:
+    ```toml
+    [sources.rest_api]
+    api_key = "api_key" # Enter the API key for the OMDb API
+
+    [destination.lancedb]
+    embedding_model_provider = "sentence-transformers"
+    embedding_model = "all-MiniLM-L6-v2"
+    [destination.lancedb.credentials]
+    uri = ".lancedb"
+    api_key = "api_key" # API key to connect to LanceDB Enterprise. Leave out if you are using LanceDB OSS.
+    embedding_model_provider_api_key = "embedding_model_provider_api_key" # Not needed for providers that don't need authentication (ollama, sentence-transformers).
+    ```
+    See [here](https://dlthub.com/docs/dlt-ecosystem/destinations/lancedb#configure-the-destination) for more information and for a list of available models and model providers.  
+
+
+4. **Write the pipeline code inside `rest_api_pipeline.py`:**  
+
+    The following code shows how you can configure dlt's REST API source to connect to the [OMDb API](https://www.omdbapi.com/), fetch all movies with the word "godzilla" in the title, and load it into a LanceDB table. The REST API source allows you to pull data from any API with minimal code, to learn more read the [dlt docs](https://dlthub.com/docs/dlt-ecosystem/verified-sources/rest_api).
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+      {PyPlatformsDltPipeline}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    The script above will ingest the data into LanceDB as it is, i.e. without creating any embeddings. If we want to embed one of the fields (for example, `"Title"` that contains the movie titles), then we will use dlt's `lancedb_adapter` and modify the script as follows:  
+    
+    - Add the following import statement:
+        <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+          {PyPlatformsDltAdapterImport}
+        </CodeBlock>
+    - Modify the pipeline run like this:
+        <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+          {PyPlatformsDltAdapterUsage}
+        </CodeBlock>
+    This will use the embedding model specified inside `.dlt/secrets.toml` to embed the field `"Title"`.
+
+5. **Install necessary dependencies:**  
+    ```sh
+    pip install -r requirements.txt
+    ```  
+
+    Note: You may need to install the dependencies for your embedding models separately.
+    ```sh
+    pip install sentence-transformers
+    ```
+
+6. **Run the pipeline:**
+    Finally, running the following command will ingest the data into your LanceDB instance.
+    ```sh
+    python custom_source.py
+    ```
+

+description: "Learn how to use the DuckDB-Lance extension to query Lance tables with SQL."
+---
+
+LanceDB integrates with [DuckDB](https://duckdb.org/) through the [Lance extension](https://github.com/lance-format/lance-duckdb) for DuckDB. In this page, we'll show how LanceDB manages table lifecycle, and DuckDB provides SQL analytics (including joins) and search over those tables.
+
+Note that earlier versions of LanceDB used to recommend converting Lance tables to Arrow tables via `table.to_arrow()`. Although this method is still available for local tables (because DuckDB [natively scans Arrow tables](https://duckdb.org/2021/12/03/duck-arrow)), it is no longer the recommended workflow for working with Lance tables in DuckDB. This page shows how to use the Lance extension with namespace-attached LanceDB tables, allowing you to pushdown SQL queries directly to the Lance layer.
+
+
+## Install {#install}
+
+Install the DuckDB CLI as per [their docs](https://duckdb.org/install) and alternatively, their Python package with `pip install duckdb`.
+
+Then, open the DuckDB CLI and install and load the Lance extension as follows:
+
+```sql SQL icon="database"
+INSTALL lance;
+LOAD lance;
+```
+
+## Attach the directory namespace in DuckDB {#attach-the-directory-namespace-in-duckdb}
+
+Attach the LanceDB root directory as a Lance namespace:
+
+```sql SQL icon="database"
+ATTACH './local_lancedb' AS lance_ns (TYPE LANCE);
+```
+
+In this page, tables are referenced using `lance_ns.main.<table_name>`, so the table path is `lance_ns.main.lance_duck`.
+
+## Write Lance table {#write-lance-table}
+
+Create the `lance_duck` table using SQL and populate it with sample data:
+
+```sql SQL icon="database"
+CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE lance_ns.main.lance_duck AS
+SELECT *
+FROM (
+  VALUES
+    ('duck', 'quack', [0.9, 0.7, 0.1]::FLOAT[]),
+    ('horse', 'neigh', [0.3, 0.1, 0.5]::FLOAT[]),
+    ('dragon', 'roar', [0.5, 0.2, 0.7]::FLOAT[])
+) AS t(animal, noise, vector);
+```
+
+This table is the source of truth for all DuckDB queries below.
+
+<Info>
+The examples below show SQL entered in the DuckDB CLI. You can run the same SQL from
+Python as well, using LanceDB and DuckDB's Python clients in your application code.
+</Info>
+
+## Query the table with SQL {#query-the-table-with-sql}
+
+```sql SQL icon="database"
+SELECT *
+  FROM lance_ns.main.lance_duck
+  LIMIT 5;
+```
+
+## Vector search {#vector-search}
+
+```sql SQL icon="database"
+SELECT animal, noise, vector, _distance
+  FROM lance_vector_search(
+    'lance_ns.main.lance_duck',
+    'vector',
+    [0.8, 0.7, 0.2]::FLOAT[],
+    k = 1,
+    prefilter = true
+  )
+  ORDER BY _distance ASC;
+```
+
+## Full-text search {#full-text-search}
+
+```sql SQL icon="database"
+SELECT animal, noise, vector, _score
+  FROM lance_fts(
+    'lance_ns.main.lance_duck',
+    'animal',
+    'the brave knight faced the dragon',
+    k = 1,
+    prefilter = true
+  )
+  ORDER BY _score DESC;
+```
+
+## Hybrid search {#hybrid-search}
+
+```sql SQL icon="database"
+SELECT animal, noise, vector, _hybrid_score, _distance, _score
+  FROM lance_hybrid_search(
+    'lance_ns.main.lance_duck',
+    'vector',
+    [0.8, 0.7, 0.2]::FLOAT[],
+    'animal',
+    'the duck surprised the dragon',
+    k = 2,
+    prefilter = false,
+    alpha = 0.5,
+    oversample_factor = 4
+  )
+  ORDER BY _hybrid_score DESC;
+```
+
+## Directory namespace model {#directory-namespace-model}
+
+A directory namespace maps a LanceDB catalog root to namespace-qualified table identifiers in DuckDB. This keeps table discovery and table naming stable as your project grows.
+
+To learn more about the catalog and namespace model, see [Namespaces and the Catalog Model](/management/namespace).
+
+
+## Advanced usage {#advanced-usage}
+
+See the [docs](https://github.com/lance-format/lance-duckdb) directory in the Lance-DuckDB extension repo
+for more advanced usage on SQL and REST API clients.

+
+[Pydantic](https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/) is a data validation library in Python.
+LanceDB integrates with Pydantic for schema inference, data ingestion, and query result casting.
+Using `lancedb.pydantic.LanceModel`, users can seamlessly
+integrate Pydantic with the rest of the LanceDB APIs.
+
+First, import the necessary LanceDB and Pydantic modules:
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+  {PyFrameworksPydanticImports}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+Next, define your Pydantic model by inheriting from `LanceModel` and specifying your fields including a vector field:

+
+This example demonstrates how LanceDB automatically converts Pydantic field types to their corresponding Apache Arrow data types. The `pydantic_to_schema()` function takes a Pydantic model and generates an Arrow schema where:

+- `str` fields become `pa.utf8()` (UTF-8 encoded strings)  
+- `Vector(768)` becomes `pa.list_(pa.float32(), 768)` (fixed-size list of 768 float32 values)
+- The `False` parameter indicates that the fields are not nullable
+
+## Type Conversion {#type-conversion}
+
+LanceDB automatically convert Pydantic fields to
+[Apache Arrow DataType](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.DataType.html#pyarrow.DataType).
+
+Current supported type conversions:
+
+| Pydantic Field Type | PyArrow Data Type |
+| ------------------- | ----------------- |
+| `int`               | `pyarrow.int64`   |
+| `float`              | `pyarrow.float64`  |
+| `bool`              | `pyarrow.bool`    |
+| `str`               | `pyarrow.utf8()`    |

+This example shows a more complex Pydantic model with various field types and demonstrates how LanceDB handles:
+- Basic types: `int` and `str` fields
+- Vector fields: `Vector(1536)` creates a fixed-size list of 1536 float32 values
+- List fields: `List[int]` becomes a variable-length list of int64 values
+- Schema generation: The `pydantic_to_schema()` function automatically converts all these types to their Arrow equivalents

+# FiftyOne
+
+[FiftyOne](https://docs.voxel51.com/) is an open source toolkit that enables users to curate better data and build better models. It includes tools for data exploration, visualization, and management, as well as features for collaboration and sharing. 
+
+Any developers, data scientists, and researchers who work with computer vision and machine learning can use FiftyOne to improve the quality of their datasets and deliver insights about their models.
+
+![example](/static/assets/images/integrations/voxel.gif)
+
+**FiftyOne** provides an API to create LanceDB tables and run similarity queries, both **programmatically in Python** and via **point-and-click in the App**.
+
+Let's get started and see how to use **LanceDB** to create a **similarity index** on your FiftyOne datasets.
+
+## Overview {#overview}
+
+[Embeddings](/embedding/) are foundational to all of the **vector search** features. In FiftyOne, embeddings are managed by the [**FiftyOne Brain**](https://docs.voxel51.com/user_guide/brain.html) that provides powerful machine learning techniques designed to transform how you curate your data from an art into a measurable science. 
+
+> _Have you ever wanted to find the images most similar to an image in your dataset?_
+
+The **FiftyOne Brain** makes computing **visual similarity** really easy. You can compute the similarity of samples in your dataset using an embedding model and store the results in the **brain key**. 
+You can then sort your samples by similarity or use this information to find potential duplicate images.
+
+
+We'll be doing the following : 
+
+1. **Create Index** - In order to run similarity queries against our media, we need to **index** the data. We can do this via the `compute_similarity()` function. 
+  -  In the function, specify the **model** you want to use to generate the embedding vectors, and what **vector search engine** you want to use on the **backend** (here LanceDB). 
+  <Tip>
+  You can also give the similarity index a name(`brain_key`), which is useful if you want to run vector searches against multiple indexes.
+  </Tip>
+
+2. **Query** - Once you have generated your similarity index, you can query your dataset with `sort_by_similarity()`. The query can be any of the following:
+
+  - An ID (sample or patch)
+  - A query vector of same dimension as the index
+  - A list of IDs (samples or patches)
+  - A text prompt (search semantically)
+
+## Prerequisites: install necessary dependencies {#prerequisites-install-necessary-dependencies}
+
+1. **Create and activate a virtual environment**
+
+Install virtualenv package and run the following command in your project directory.
+<CodeBlock filename="bash" language="bash" icon="terminal">
+python -m venv fiftyone_
+</CodeBlock>
+From inside the project directory run the following to activate the virtual environment.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="macOS/Linux" language="bash" icon="linux">
+    source fiftyone_/Scripts/activate
+    </CodeBlock>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Windows" language="bash" icon="windows">
+    fiftyone_/Scripts/activate
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+2. **Install the following packages in the virtual environment**
+
+    To install FiftyOne, ensure you have activated any virtual environment that you are using, then run
+<CodeBlock filename="bash" language="bash" icon="terminal">
+pip install fiftyone
+</CodeBlock>
+
+
+## Understand basic workflow {#understand-basic-workflow}
+
+The basic workflow shown below uses LanceDB to create a similarity index on your FiftyOne datasets:
+
+1. Load a dataset into FiftyOne.
+
+2. Compute embedding vectors for samples or patches in your dataset, or select a model to use to generate embeddings.
+
+3. Use the `compute_similarity()` method to generate a LanceDB table for the samples or object patches embeddings in a dataset by setting the parameter `backend="lancedb"` and specifying a `brain_key` of your choice.
+
+4. Use this LanceDB table to query your data with `sort_by_similarity()`.
+
+5. If desired, delete the table.
+
+## Quick Example {#quick-example}
+
+Let's jump on a quick example that demonstrates this workflow.
+
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+  {PyPlatformsVoxel51LoadDataset}
+</CodeBlock>
+Make sure you install torch ([guide here](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/)) before proceeding. 
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+  {PyPlatformsVoxel51ComputeSimilarity}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+!!! note
+    Running the code above will download the clip model (2.6Gb)
+
+Once the similarity index has been generated, we can query our data in FiftyOne by specifying the `brain_key`:
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+  {PyPlatformsVoxel51SortBySimilarity}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+The returned result are of type - `DatasetView`.
+
+<Note>
+`DatasetView` does not hold its contents in-memory. Views simply store the rule(s) that are applied to extract the content of interest from the underlying Dataset when the view is iterated/aggregated on.
+
+This means, for example, that the contents of a `DatasetView` may change as the underlying Dataset is modified.
+</Note>
+
+> _Can you query a view instead of dataset?_
+
+Yes, you can also query a view.
+
+Performing a similarity search on a `DatasetView` will only return results from the view; if the view contains samples that were not included in the index, they will never be included in the result.
+
+This means that you can index an entire Dataset once and then perform searches on subsets of the dataset by constructing views that contain the images of interest.
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+  {PyPlatformsVoxel51Cleanup}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+
+## Using LanceDB backend {#using-lancedb-backend}
+By default, calling `compute_similarity()` or `sort_by_similarity()` will use an sklearn backend.
+
+To use the LanceDB backend, simply set the optional `backend` parameter of `compute_similarity()` to `"lancedb"`:
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+  {PyPlatformsVoxel51BackendFlag}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+Alternatively, you can configure FiftyOne to use the LanceDB backend by setting the following environment variable.
+
+In your terminal, set the environment variable using:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="macOS/Linux" language="bash" icon="linux">
+    export FIFTYONE_BRAIN_DEFAULT_SIMILARITY_BACKEND=lancedb
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Windows" language="powershell" icon="windows">
+    $Env:FIFTYONE_BRAIN_DEFAULT_SIMILARITY_BACKEND="lancedb" //powershell
+
+    set FIFTYONE_BRAIN_DEFAULT_SIMILARITY_BACKEND=lancedb //cmd
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Warning>
+This will only run during the terminal session. Once terminal is closed, environment variable is deleted.
+</Warning>
+
+Alternatively, you can **permanently** configure FiftyOne to use the LanceDB backend creating a `brain_config.json` at `~/.fiftyone/brain_config.json`. The JSON file may contain any desired subset of config fields that you wish to customize.
+
+```json
+{
+  "default_similarity_backend": "lancedb"
+}
+```
+This will override the default `brain_config` and will set it according to your customization. You can check the configuration by running the following code : 
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+  {PyPlatformsVoxel51BrainConfig}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+## LanceDB config parameters {#lancedb-config-parameters}
+
+The LanceDB backend supports query parameters that can be used to customize your similarity queries. These parameters include:
+
+| Name           | Purpose                                                                                                          | Default          |
+| :------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :--------------- |
+| **table_name** | The name of the LanceDB table to use. If none is provided, a new table will be created                           | `None`           |
+| **metric**     | The embedding distance metric to use when creating a new table. The supported values are ("cosine", "euclidean") | `"cosine"`       |
+| **uri**        | The database URI to use. In this Database URI, tables will be created.                                           | `"/tmp/lancedb"` |
+
+There are two ways to specify/customize the parameters:
+
+1. **Using `brain_config.json` file** 
+
+```json
+{
+    "similarity_backends": {
+        "lancedb": {
+            "table_name": "your-table",
+            "metric": "euclidean",
+            "uri": "/tmp/lancedb"
+        }
+    }
+}

+
+With Google's Gemini, you can represent text (words, sentences, and blocks of text) in a vectorized form, making it easier to compare and contrast embeddings. For example, two texts that share a similar subject matter or sentiment should have similar embeddings, which can be identified through mathematical comparison techniques such as cosine similarity. For more on how and why you should use embeddings, refer to the Embeddings guide.
+The Gemini Embedding Model API supports various task types:

+## Supported Models {#supported-models}
+
+You can find a list of supported models at [IBM watsonx.ai Documentation](https://dataplatform.cloud.ibm.com/docs/content/wsj/analyze-data/fm-models-embed.html?context=wx). The currently supported model names are:
+
+| Model ID                                     | Dimensions |
+|----------------------------------------------|------------|
+| `ibm/granite-embedding-278m-multilingual`    | 768        |
+| `ibm/slate-125m-english-rtrvr-v2`            | 768        |

+| `sentence-transformers/all-minilm-l6-v2`     | 384        |
+
+<Info>
+For new tables, `ibm/granite-embedding-278m-multilingual` is the recommended default. Older model IDs (such as `ibm/slate-125m-english-rtrvr` and `sentence-transformers/all-minilm-l12-v2`) remain resolvable for tables whose stored metadata references them, but they are no longer advertised for new use.
+</Info>
+
+## Parameters {#parameters}
+
+The following parameters can be passed to the `create` method:
+
+| Parameter  | Type     | Default Value                    | Description                                               |
+|------------|----------|----------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
+| name       | str      | `"ibm/slate-125m-english-rtrvr"` | The model ID of the watsonx.ai model to use. Pass one of the current supported IDs above (e.g. `"ibm/granite-embedding-278m-multilingual"`) when creating new tables. |
+| api_key    | str      | None                             | Optional IBM Cloud API key (or set `WATSONX_API_KEY`)     |
+| project_id | str      | None                             | Optional watsonx project ID (or set `WATSONX_PROJECT_ID`). Mutually exclusive with `space_id`. |
+| space_id   | str      | None                             | Optional watsonx deployment space ID (or set `WATSONX_SPACE_ID`). Mutually exclusive with `project_id`. |
+| url        | str      | None                             | Optional custom URL for the watsonx.ai instance           |
+| params     | dict     | None                             | Optional additional parameters for the embedding model (e.g. `{"truncate_input_tokens": 512}`) |
+
+<Info>
+You must supply exactly one of `project_id` or `space_id` (either as an argument or via its environment variable). Setting both, or neither, raises a `ValueError`.
+</Info>
+
+## Usage Example {#usage-example}
+
+First, the watsonx.ai library is an optional dependency, so must be installed separately:
+
+```
+pip install ibm-watsonx-ai
+```
+
+Optionally set environment variables (if not passing credentials to `create` directly):
+
+```sh
+export WATSONX_API_KEY="YOUR_WATSONX_API_KEY"
+# Provide exactly one of the following:
+export WATSONX_PROJECT_ID="YOUR_WATSONX_PROJECT_ID"
+# export WATSONX_SPACE_ID="YOUR_WATSONX_SPACE_ID"
+```
+
+Replace the credential placeholders with your provider credentials. The registry
+variable keeps the API key out of stored embedding configuration. In application
+code, load its value from environment variables or a secrets manager.

+title: Superlinked
+sidebarTitle: Superlinked
+---
+
+[Superlinked](https://superlinked.com) is a self-hosted inference engine (SIE) for embedding, reranking, and extraction. The `sie-lancedb` package registers SIE as a first-class embedding function in LanceDB's embeddings registry, so embeddings are computed automatically on insert and search. You need a running SIE instance - see the [Superlinked quickstart](https://superlinked.com/docs) for deployment options.
+
+## Installation {#installation}
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```bash Python icon=Python
+pip install sie-lancedb
+```
+
+```bash TypeScript icon=js
+npm install @superlinked/sie-lancedb @lancedb/lancedb
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+## Registered functions {#registered-functions}
+
+Importing `sie_lancedb` registers two embedding functions in LanceDB's registry:
+
+| Name | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `"sie"` | Dense text embeddings |
+| `"sie-multivector"` | ColBERT-style late interaction with MaxSim scoring |
+
+Supported parameters on `.create()`:
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `model` | `str` | Any of 85+ SIE-supported models (e.g. `BAAI/bge-m3`, `NovaSearch/stella_en_400M_v5`, `jinaai/jina-colbert-v2`) |
+| `base_url` | `str` | URL of the SIE endpoint (e.g. `http://localhost:8080`) |
+
+## Usage {#usage}
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+import tempfile
+from pathlib import Path
+
+import lancedb
+from lancedb.embeddings import get_registry
+from lancedb.pydantic import LanceModel, Vector
+import sie_lancedb  # registers "sie" and "sie-multivector"
+
+sie = get_registry().get("sie").create(
+    model="BAAI/bge-m3",
+    base_url="http://localhost:8080",
+)
+
+class Documents(LanceModel):
+    id: int
+    text: str = sie.SourceField()
+    vector: Vector(sie.ndims()) = sie.VectorField()
+
+db = lancedb.connect(str(Path(tempfile.mkdtemp()) / "superlinked-demo"))
+table = db.create_table("docs", schema=Documents)
+
+table.add([
+    {"id": 1, "text": "Machine learning is a subset of AI."},
+    {"id": 2, "text": "Neural networks use multiple layers."},
+    {"id": 3, "text": "Python is popular for ML development."},
+])
+
+results = table.search("What is deep learning?").limit(3).to_list()
+```
+
+LanceDB handles embedding generation for both inserts and queries automatically, based on the `SourceField` / `VectorField` declarations on the schema. The `id` column gives each document a stable key, which [entity extraction](#entity-extraction) uses to merge its results back.
+
+## Hybrid search with reranker {#hybrid-search-with-reranker}
+
+`SIEReranker` plugs into LanceDB's hybrid search pipeline. It uses SIE's cross-encoder `score()` to rerank combined vector + full-text search results. You need a full-text search index on the column first:
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+from sie_lancedb import SIEReranker
+
+# Create FTS index for hybrid search
+table.create_fts_index("text", replace=True)
+
+results = (
+    table.search("What is deep learning?", query_type="hybrid")
+    .rerank(SIEReranker(model="jinaai/jina-reranker-v2-base-multilingual"))
+    .limit(5)
+    .to_list()
+)
+
+for r in results:
+    print(f"{r['_relevance_score']:.3f}  {r['text']}")
+```
+
+The reranker also works with pure vector or pure FTS search via `.rerank()`.
+
+## ColBERT and multivector {#colbert-and-multivector}
+`SIEMultiVectorEmbeddingFunction` (registered as `"sie-multivector"`) works with LanceDB's native `MultiVector` type and MaxSim scoring for ColBERT and ColPali models. In LanceDB Python 0.40.0, a multivector that LanceDB generates on insert is stored as null unless the document's token count happens to equal the per-token dimension, so this example computes the document multivectors with `compute_source_embeddings()` and passes them in the `vector` column. LanceDB still generates the query multivector automatically:
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+from lancedb.pydantic import MultiVector
+
+sie_colbert = get_registry().get("sie-multivector").create(
+    model="jinaai/jina-colbert-v2",
+    base_url="http://localhost:8080",
+)
+
+class ColBERTDocs(LanceModel):
+    text: str = sie_colbert.SourceField()
+    vector: MultiVector(sie_colbert.ndims()) = sie_colbert.VectorField()
+
+table = db.create_table("colbert_docs", schema=ColBERTDocs)
+
+# Compute the document multivectors and store them with their text
+texts = ["Machine learning is a subset of AI."]
+vectors = sie_colbert.compute_source_embeddings(texts)
+table.add([{"text": text, "vector": vector} for text, vector in zip(texts, vectors)])
+
+# MaxSim search - query and document multivectors compared token-by-token
+results = table.search("What is ML?").limit(5).to_list()
+```
+
+## Entity extraction {#entity-extraction}
+
+`SIEExtractor` adds entity extraction to LanceDB's data-enrichment workflows. Extract entities from a text column and merge the results back as a structured Arrow column - enabling filtered search on extracted entities. This example enriches the `docs` table from [Usage](#usage), matching rows on its `id` column:
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+from sie_lancedb import SIEExtractor
+
+extractor = SIEExtractor(
+    base_url="http://localhost:8080",
+    model="urchade/gliner_multi-v2.1",
+)
+
+docs = db.open_table("docs")
+extractor.enrich_table(
+    docs,
+    source_column="text",
+    target_column="entities",
+    labels=["person", "technology", "organization"],
+    id_column="id",
+)
+```
+
+The `entities` column stores structured Arrow data (`list<struct<text, label, score, start, end, bbox>>`), so you can filter on extracted entities in queries.

+You also need to set the `VOYAGE_API_KEY` environment variable to use the VoyageAI API.
+
+```shell
+export VOYAGE_API_KEY="your-api-key"
+```
+
+Supported models are:
+
+- voyage-4-large (best retrieval quality, 1024 default dimensions, supports 256/512/1024/2048)
+- voyage-4 (balanced general-purpose, 1024 default dimensions, supports 256/512/1024/2048)
+- voyage-4-lite (optimized for latency/cost, 1024 default dimensions, supports 256/512/1024/2048)
+- voyage-context-3

+description: "Train LeRobot policies straight from object storage, and curate, search and visualize robotics datasets as Lance tables."
+keywords: ["lerobot", "robotics", "droid", "training", "dataloader"]
+---
+
+import {
+  PyFrameworksLerobotFilterFrames,
+  PyFrameworksLerobotLoad,
+  PyFrameworksLerobotOpenLanceTables,
+  PyFrameworksLerobotTrainReady,
+} from '/snippets/integrations.mdx';
+
+[LeRobot](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/index) is Hugging Face's open-source robotics stack. Since [lerobot#4363](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/pull/4363) it reads Lance datasets natively: same `LeRobotDataset` class, same items, same training pipeline. The dataset's `"storage_format": "lance"` picks the reader. No subclasses, no wrapper library.
+
+What you get:
+
+- **Train from object storage while keeping your GPUs fed.** Lance reads random frames straight from S3, GCS, the HF Hub or HF Storage Buckets, fetching only the bytes each batch needs, so every batch is a global shuffle: any frame, from anywhere in the dataset. In the table below (samples/s, 8 workers, batch 64), Lance and upstream local both draw every batch from the whole dataset. Upstream streaming does a reservoir shuffle, reading the dataset in order and drawing each batch from a pool of recently seen frames, so those two columns are not the same job:
+
+| dataset | window shuffle, Lance from object store | window shuffle, upstream streaming from the Hub | Lance (object store) vs upstream streaming | RAM, Lance | RAM, streaming | global shuffle, Lance from object store | global shuffle, upstream from local NVMe | Lance (object store) vs upstream (local NVMe) |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| DROID | 904 | 478 | 1.9x | 8 GB | 122 GB | 257 | 224 | 1.1x |
+| roboturk | 778 | 152 | 5.1x | 6 GB | 9 GB | 1,074 | 983 | 1.1x |
+| aloha_mobile_cabinet | 772 | 51 | 15.2x | 9 GB | 30 GB | 693 | 573 | 1.2x |
+| koch_pick_place_5_lego | 701 | 54 | 13.0x | 8 GB | 15 GB | 876 | 526 | 1.7x |
+| pusht | 5,340 | 648 | 8.2x | 3 GB | 7 GB | 5,508 | 4,224 | 1.3x |
+| aloha_static_cups_open | 597 | 45 | 13.2x | 10 GB | 38 GB | 575 | 483 | 1.2x |
+
+The shuffle window is 0.05% of the dataset, at least 5,000 frames: 5,000 on the small sets, 13,815 on DROID. Streaming DROID at that window in upstream default needs 122 GB, so those two runs used a 256 GB machine with the same decode speed. The DROID pair is noisy: Lance 684 and 1,124, streaming 303 and 653.
+
+Same batches: Lance from an object store is 1.9x faster than upstream streaming on DROID and 5x to 15x on the other datasets, with 8 GB of RAM against 122 GB on DROID. Global shuffle: Lance with nothing downloaded is 1.1x to 1.7x faster than upstream reading local NVMe after the download. berkeley_rpt, toto and soarm101 are left out because their metadata lists frames the videos do not have; `lerobot-lance-doctor` reports that before you train.
+
+- **Faster iteration, end to end.** 10,000 steps of SmolVLA on DROID, 8xH100, lerobot's default `num_workers=4`, same seed:
+
+| | Lance, S3, nothing downloaded | upstream, local NVMe after a 384 GB download |
+|---|---|---|
+| wall clock | **1 h 27 m** | 2 h 00 m |
+| steady rate | 495 samples/s | 361 samples/s |
+| of each step spent waiting on data | 1.7% | 37.4% |
+| final loss | 0.2380 | 0.2380 |
+
+Same model, same loss, 33 minutes sooner, and no 384 GB download first. The difference is time the GPUs spend waiting on data, so it grows with the run: at 100k steps it is over five hours, and every re-run and sweep point pays it again.
+
+- **The training table is also the index.** Parquet has no secondary indexes, so finding frames instead of scanning them usually means another system per question: a vector database for embeddings, a search service for instructions, a feature store for scores. With Lance those are columns and indexes on the same table the DataLoader reads. One query spans all of them, at a version the trainer can reopen.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+pip install "lerobot[lancedb]"   # the reader, inside lerobot itself
+pip install lerobot-lancedb      # the converter
+```
+
+## Convert a dataset
+
+Any LeRobot v3.0 dataset, from the Hub or a local directory:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-lance-convert --repo-id lerobot/pusht --out ./pusht-lance
+```
+
+**Migration costs about as much as a file copy.** Videos are stored as blobs without re-encoding, so items are bit-identical to the source: 392,578 frames convert in 10 seconds, DROID's 27.6M in 34 minutes. Nothing about your recording or training code changes. The output keeps `meta/` as is and adds three Lance tables (`frames`, `videos`, `meta`). `lerobot-lance-doctor` audits the result and often finds problems in the source: DROID carries 44% orphaned rows, and three of eight public datasets we converted have frame-count defects that only random access exposes.
+
+Host the result anywhere: an HF dataset repo (`hf upload`, tag it `v3.0`), an HF Storage Bucket (`hf buckets sync`), or any object store (`aws s3 sync`).
+
+## Load and train
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+  {PyFrameworksLerobotLoad}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+An explicit `root` works for any object store: `LeRobotDataset("lerobot/pusht", root="s3://my-bucket/pusht-lance")`. Remote roots download only `meta/`. Data is fetched per batch. Temporal windows, `DataLoader` and the rest of the training stack work unchanged:
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+  {PyFrameworksLerobotTrainReady}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+Or from the CLI. Held-out evaluation on a remote dataset needs random access, so it only works on the Lance path:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --dataset.repo_id=my-org/my-bucket/pusht-lance \
+  --dataset.repo_type=bucket \
+  --dataset.eval_split=0.02 \
+  --policy.type=act
+```
+
+## Visualize TB-scale datasets in Foxglove
+
+LeRobot's dataset viewer can serve an episode to [Foxglove](https://foxglove.dev) over its WebSocket protocol ([lerobot#4542](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/pull/4542)), and with a Lance dataset it works wherever the data lives:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-dataset-viz --repo-id lance-format/pusht-lance --episode-index 3 --display-mode foxglove
+```
+
+Open the Foxglove app, connect to `ws://localhost:8765`, and scrub. Cameras, joint state and actions show up as topics you can lay out however you like:
+
+![Foxglove showing episode 7 of DROID served from S3: three camera panels and the joint state, scrubbed to 19.4 s](/static/assets/images/integrations/lerobot-foxglove-droid.png)
+
+Frames are fetched as you scrub, so looking at one episode of the 373 GB DROID from S3 moves a few MB, not the dataset. No MCAP export, no download, and nothing new to install on the dataset side: this is the same reader the trainer uses.
+
+## Query, curate, enrich
+
+The frames table is a LanceDB table like any other:
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+  {PyFrameworksLerobotOpenLanceTables}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+Filter with SQL over any feature, using the indexes built at conversion:
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+  {PyFrameworksLerobotFilterFrames}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+From here it is standard LanceDB. The examples below are from our DROID walkthrough, all on the table the trainer reads.
+
+**Feature engineering costs nothing until you use it.** With [Geneva](/geneva/udfs/udfs), `add_columns` registers a `@udf` function and its input columns as a new column and computes nothing; `backfill` computes and stores the values later, in parallel. No copy of the dataset, and the videos are never touched:
+
+```python
+@udf(data_type=pa.float32(), input_columns=["action_joint_velocity"])
+def jerk_score(v):                      # per-frame motion roughness
+    ...
+
+tbl.add_columns({"jerk_score": jerk_score})   # nothing computed yet
+tbl.backfill("jerk_score", concurrency=8)     # 610,403 rows in 16.7 s
+```
+
+Embeddings work the same way, reading frames straight from the video blobs in the same table:
+
+```python
+@udf(data_type=pa.list_(pa.float32(), 768), num_gpus=1,
+     input_columns=["episode_index", "frame_index"])
+class EmbedFromBlob:                    # SigLIP2 loads once per worker
+    def __call__(self, episode_index, frame_index):
+        blob = self.videos.take_blobs("video_bytes", indices=[vrow])[0]
+        frame = VideoDecoder(blob).get_frames_at([pos]).data[0]
+        ...
+```
+
+**Search** is an index on those columns: a vector index over the embeddings built in 29.7 s across 27.6M rows, a full-text index over the instructions in 7.0 s, queries in 10 to 54 ms.
+
+**Curation** is one query across all of it. Semantic search with a predicate on the derived score, no join, no second system:
+
+```python
+results = (
+    tbl.search(vec("a gripper closing on an object"), vector_column_name="emb_siglip2")
+    .where("jerk_score > 1.2875")  # the roughest 1% of frames
+    .limit(4)
+    .to_arrow()
+)
+```
+
+**Mining** is the same query pointed at the rare cases. `tbl.search().where("jerk_score > 1.2875 AND success = false")` pulls the rough, failed frames out of 27.6M rows in milliseconds, ready to become a fine-tuning set or a labeling queue.
+
+**EDA** is a scan of the tabular columns: a pass over all 27.6M rows reads 2.52 GB in 190 s and decodes no video.
+
+Then drop what you found from training with `episodes=[...]` instead of rewriting files. The reader ignores columns it does not know, and the table is versioned, so curation and training share one copy of the data at a version you can reopen.
+
+<Info>
+Lance datasets are read-only in LeRobot: record and edit in the default format, then convert.

+description: "Use Stable World Model with LanceDB-backed datasets for reproducible world model research, fast data loading, and compact storage."
+---
+
+import {
+  PyFrameworksStableWorldmodelCollectLance,
+  PyFrameworksStableWorldmodelConvert,
+  PyFrameworksStableWorldmodelEvaluate,
+  PyFrameworksStableWorldmodelLoadLance,
+} from '/snippets/integrations.mdx';
+
+[Stable World Model](https://github.com/galilai-group/stable-worldmodel) is a research platform for collecting data, training world models, and evaluating policies with model-predictive control across standardized environments.
+
+The LanceDB integration is built into Stable World Model's data format registry. Lance is the default backend for collected datasets, so a path ending in `.lance` gives you an append-friendly LanceDB table with episode-contiguous rows and fast indexed reads.
+
+Random access speed is the bottleneck for world model training, since the loop repeatedly samples temporal windows from high-dimensional observations, actions, and rewards. The faster those windows arrive, the more GPU time goes into training rather than waiting on the data loader.
+
+## Install {#install}
+
+```bash
+pip install stable-worldmodel
+```
+
+Datasets and checkpoints are stored under `$STABLEWM_HOME`, which defaults to `~/.stable_worldmodel/`.
+
+## Collect data into Lance {#collect-data-into-lance}
+
+Stable World Model uses Lance by default when you collect to a `.lance` path.
+Replace `your_expert_policy` with the expert or scripted policy you use to collect demonstrations.
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+  {PyFrameworksStableWorldmodelCollectLance}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+Every writer accepts a `mode` argument such as `append`, `overwrite`, or `error`. The default is append, so re-running collection extends the existing dataset.
+
+## Load a Lance dataset for training {#load-a-lance-dataset-for-training}
+
+The dataset loader autodetects the Lance format from the path.
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+  {PyFrameworksStableWorldmodelLoadLance}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+Your model code stays focused on the world model objective while LanceDB handles the storage layout and read path.
+
+## Evaluate with model-predictive control {#evaluate-with-model-predictive-control}
+
+After training a world model on the Lance-backed dataset, Stable World Model can evaluate it with planning solvers such as CEM.
+Replace `world_model` with the trained model object from your training loop.
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+  {PyFrameworksStableWorldmodelEvaluate}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+## Convert between formats {#convert-between-formats}
+
+Stable World Model can convert between registered dataset formats. A common workflow is to collect in Lance for fast training reads, then export to the video layout for compact inspection artifacts.
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+  {PyFrameworksStableWorldmodelConvert}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+## Throughput {#throughput}
+
+The Stable World Model README reports the following PushT benchmark results from `scripts/benchmark/compare_h5_lance.py`:
+
+| Format | Source | Cache | samples/s | ms/step |
+|:---|:---|:---|---:|---:|
+| HDF5 | local | no-cache | 1,416.1 | 45.2 |
+| HDF5 | local | cached | 1,474.0 | 43.4 |
+| LanceDB | local | no-cache | 4,814.8 | 13.3 |
+| LanceDB | local | cached | 4,431.3 | 14.4 |
+| Video | local | - | 1,330.6 | 48.1 |
+| LanceDB | s3 | no-cache | 3,183.7 | 20.1 |
+| LanceDB | s3 | cached | 3,253.2 | 19.7 |
+| HDF5 | s3 | no-cache | 9.1 | 7,032.5 |
+| HDF5 | s3 | cached | 756.5 | 84.6 |
+
+In that benchmark, local LanceDB reached about **3.4x** the no-cache throughput of local HDF5, while S3-backed LanceDB reached about **350x** the no-cache throughput of S3-backed HDF5. Even with cache enabled, S3-backed LanceDB was about **4.3x** faster than S3-backed HDF5.
+
+These numbers come from the Stable World Model project's own benchmark setup, so they're best read as a reproducible directional baseline that may shift across environments, models, and storage configurations.
+
+## Storage {#storage}
+
+The same README reports these local storage sizes for the benchmark dataset:
+
+| Format | Local size |
+|:---|---:|
+| HDF5 | 43.12 GB |
+| LanceDB | 13.31 GB |
+| Video | 496.29 MB |
+
+LanceDB used about **69% less local storage than HDF5** in the reported benchmark, while preserving a table interface built for fast training reads and append-heavy collection.

+  summary: >-
+    LanceDB Enterprise schedules background maintenance jobs according to your
+    cluster configuration.
+---
+
+The jobs documented elsewhere in these docs -- [Build & Repair](/indexing/reindexing),
+[Compaction](/maintenance/compaction), [Cleanup](/maintenance/cleanup),
+[Column Refresh](/feature-engineering/refresh-column) -- start from a call you
+make or, for compaction, cleanup and index updates, from the deployment's own
+maintenance. This page is the rest: jobs the deployment runs to keep itself
+correct and fast, which you may see named in [`SHOW JOBS`](/sql/ddl/job#show)
+without having asked for any of them.
+
+These jobs are configured by the deployment's operators rather than through
+the table SDK. If a maintenance job repeatedly fails or stops making progress,
+share its job ID and errors with your Enterprise support team. Operators can
+also start cache-warming jobs through the admin API.
+
+## Write-ahead log maintenance {#wal}
+
+For a table with a [write-ahead log](/sql/ddl/table#properties) enabled, two jobs keep the
+log from growing without bound:
+
+| Job type | What it does |
+| --- | --- |
+| `sstable_compaction` | Folds a WAL bucket's SSTables into the base table by primary key. Distinct from `compact`, which merges base-table fragments -- the two are unrelated. |
+| `wal_index_catchup` | Extends a base-table index over the rows `sstable_compaction` just folded in, and records how far the index has caught up. Nothing else advances that record. |
+
+## Index maintenance {#index}
+
+| Job type | What it does |
+| --- | --- |
+| `index_remap` | Reassigns index entries after row ids shift underneath an index -- the kind of remap a delta compaction can require. |
+| `spfresh_merge` | Merges SPFresh-managed segments for indexes that use it. |
+
+## Cache warming {#cache}
+
+| Job type | What it does |
+| --- | --- |
+| `prewarm_page_cache` | Loads table data into a query node's page cache ahead of a request needing it. |
+| `prewarm_index_cache` | The same, for index structures. |
+| `startup_prewarm_idx` | Runs cache prewarming as part of a plan executor's own startup, rather than on a schedule, when the deployment enables it. |
+
+## Registry housekeeping {#registry}
+
+| Job type | What it does |
+| --- | --- |
+| `job_registry_archive` | Sweeps terminal jobs out of the active registry and into archival storage, on a per-database schedule. |
+| `job_events_export` | Copies terminal jobs' event histories into a curated system table for metering. Registry-scoped, like the archive sweep. |
+
+These two are why an old job you completed weeks ago no longer shows in
+`SHOW JOBS` -- it was archived, not deleted. Where the deployment enables the
+export, its events also survive in the exported table.
+
+## Object teardown {#teardown}
+
+| Job type | What it does |
+| --- | --- |
+| `drop_object` | Deletes a dropped catalog object's content, then clears it from the database's cleanup backlog. Whether a dropped table runs as this job or as [`drop_table`](/management/table#drop), which fences the table's directory with its own marker instead, depends on how the deployment stores its catalog. |
+
+You trigger it indirectly, by dropping a table, a [view](/sql/ddl/view#drop) or
+a [namespace](/management/namespace); the teardown runs as this job rather than
+inline with the call.
+{/* Draft for the Functions release: Dropping a [function](/management/function#drop) starts it the same way. */}

+keywords: ["cleanup", "retention", "prune", "delete_unverified", "vacuum"]
+availability:
+  oss: available
+  enterprise: available
+  summary: >-
+    Both offerings support cleanup. Embedded `optimize()` uses a retention window of 7 days by default; Enterprise uses configured background cleanup and retention, and does not support `optimize()`.
+---
+
+Every write keeps the version before it, which is what makes
+[time travel](/management/table#versioning) possible. Cleanup is what ends
+that -- pruning versions older than a retention window, and the files that only
+those versions referenced.
+
+<Note>
+**Enterprise job type:** `cleanup`. Distinct from `compact` -- compaction
+merges files, cleanup removes them. `optimize()` in OSS runs both in one call;
+Enterprise schedules them as separate jobs, and runs cleanup only when the
+deployment's configuration enables it.
+</Note>
+
+## Retention {#retention}
+
+```python
+from datetime import timedelta
+
+table.optimize(cleanup_older_than=timedelta(days=30))
+```
+
+`cleanup_older_than` defaults to **7 days**. Versions older than that are
+removed, along with the files only they referenced. In LanceDB Enterprise, the
+retention period comes from its configuration instead.
+
+The latest version is never removed, whatever you pass. `timedelta(0)` makes
+every older version eligible for removal, but cleanup still keeps tagged
+versions and the files branches still read, as the warning below describes.
+
+<Warning>
+Pruning is what makes [time travel](/management/table#versioning) finite: an
+eligible version outside the retention window is gone. Cleanup keeps a version,
+whatever its age, when it is:
+
+- the **latest** version;
+- a **tagged** version.
+
+Cleanup also keeps the files a **branch** still reads, and the version the
+branch was forked from while the branch's remaining versions read the parent's
+files. That does not keep the fork for good: once the branch has replaced the
+data it inherited and its own older versions are pruned, cleanup prunes the
+fork version like any other. To keep a version recoverable, tag it, subject to
+the policy below, or keep the window wide enough to cover it.
+
+Under the default policy, a tag can also stop cleanup. When a tagged version is
+older than the window and is not the latest, cleanup refuses to run: it raises
+an error naming the tag and prunes nothing. To let it proceed, move the tag to a
+version inside the window, delete the tag, or widen the window.
+
+A tag on the latest version does not stop cleanup. But `optimize()` compacts
+before it prunes, and compacting commits a new version whenever it merges
+files, so a tag on what was the latest version can become an older one by the
+time cleanup runs. `optimize()` then raises after compacting, and its index
+update does not run.
+
+A deployment's background cleanup follows the same rules. Its own background
+jobs, such as compaction and index updates, also commit new versions, so a tag
+on what is now the latest version can become an older one without a call from
+you. If you rely on reading old versions, set the window to cover the range you
+need before running this, not after.
+</Warning>
+
+## Disk usage does not drop immediately {#disk}
+
+Compaction writes new, merged files before the old ones are removed, so disk
+usage can rise before it falls. Space is reclaimed only when cleanup prunes the
+versions that referenced the superseded files.
+
+If you need to reclaim space aggressively in the embedded library, shorten the
+retention window rather than waiting for the default:
+
+```python
+table.optimize(cleanup_older_than=timedelta(days=1))
+```
+
+## Files from failed transactions {#unverified}
+
+A write that fails partway can leave files that look like an operation still
+in progress. Cleanup will not remove them until they are at least seven days
+old, because it cannot tell them apart from a live write.
+
+```python
+table.optimize(delete_unverified=True)

+    Tables are compacted in the embedded library and in LanceDB Enterprise. In the
+    embedded library you call `optimize()`; a deployment compacts tables in the
+    background, and `optimize()` is not available there.
+---
+
+import { PyStorageRebuildVectorIndex } from '/snippets/doc_storage_examples.mdx';
+
+Every write commits a new table version, and versions accumulate: small files
+from frequent appends, superseded files from updates and deletes, and rows added
+since an index was built. In the embedded library, `optimize()` addresses all
+three; a deployment handles them in the background and does not support
+`optimize()`.
+
+Run optimization as regular table maintenance, particularly after many small
+writes or a large ingest.
+
+## Optimize a table {#what-it-does}
+
+```python
+table.optimize()
+```
+
+Three operations, in one call:
+
+| | |
+| --- | --- |
+| **Compaction** | merges small files into larger ones |
+| **Prune** | removes versions older than the retention window -- see [Cleanup](/maintenance/cleanup) |
+| **Index** | folds newly added rows into existing indexes -- see [Build & Repair](/indexing/reindexing) |
+
+Compaction itself is only the first of the three: merging small fragments back
+into larger ones, which is what keeps a scan from opening more files than it
+needs to.
+
+<Note>
+**Enterprise job type:** `compact`. Runs automatically as data accumulates,
+separately from [`cleanup`](/maintenance/cleanup) -- the two are distinct jobs
+even though `optimize()` bundles both in one OSS call.
+</Note>
+
+## Retraining indexes {#retrain}
+
+Folding new rows into an index preserves the structure the index was trained on.
+When the data distribution has shifted enough that the index's clusters are a
+poor fit, recreate the index with `replace=True` to train it on the current data.
+The deprecated `retrain` argument to `optimize()` does not rebuild indexes.
+
+This example assumes a populated table whose `vector` column has an IVF_FLAT
+index configured for L2 distance and four partitions:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {PyStorageRebuildVectorIndex}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Use your index's column, type, distance metric, and training settings when
+rebuilding it. Recreating an index is more expensive than a normal optimize,
+and can help after a large ingest that changed the data distribution.
+
+## When to run it {#when}
+
+In the embedded library there is no background compactor: `optimize()` runs
+when you call it. A deployment compacts a table automatically once enough small
+fragments accumulate, unless its operator turns this off.
+
+Frequent small appends are what make it necessary, because each one commits
+files. A table written in a few large batches needs it rarely; one taking
+continuous small writes needs it on a schedule.
+
+<Note>
+Compaction rewrites files, which conflicts with a concurrent
+[computed-column refresh](/feature-engineering/add-computed-column) or
+[view refresh](/feature-engineering/materialized-views) planned against the
+version it replaces. Sequence them rather than running both at once.
+</Note>
+
+See [Cleanup](/maintenance/cleanup) for pruning old versions, and
+[Build & Repair](/indexing/reindexing) for the index-folding half of
+`optimize()`.
+
+## Performance {#performance}
+
+Two things accumulate on a long-lived table as more and more data gets added to it:
+
+- **Many small fragments build up as you write**, slowing down queries that have to scan across more files. **Compaction** merges them back into larger fragments.
+- **Old versions build up as the table changes**, growing disk usage beyond the live data size (LanceDB retains them for time-travel and rollback). **Cleanup** prunes versions older than a retention window.
+
+In OSS, you run them yourself via `optimize()`, which bundles both into a single call:
+
+```python Python icon="python"
+from datetime import timedelta
+table.optimize()                                       # 7-day default retention
+table.optimize(cleanup_older_than=timedelta(days=1))   # reclaim space sooner
+```
+
+The best practice is to run `optimize()` after large writes or on a schedule. It also bundles incremental index updates. See [Build & Repair](/indexing/reindexing) for the breakdown. Updates also move rows out of the vector index, so they remain searchable but unindexed. Update or rebuild the index after large update batches.

+---

+import { PyConnectEnterprisePlaceholders, TsConnectEnterprisePlaceholders } from '/snippets/connection.mdx';
+
+A database connection provides access to tables and namespaces in a
+[catalog](/basics/catalog). Use it to create and open tables, list catalog
+objects, and configure how your application reaches the data.
+
+## Connection URIs {#uris}
+
+| URI | Offering | Where queries run |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `./.lancedb` | OSS, with local storage | In your application |
+| `s3://bucket/path`, `gs://bucket/path`, `az://container/path` | OSS, with object storage | In your application |
+| `db://my-database` | Enterprise | On remote compute |
+
+[Connect to LanceDB](/basics/connect) has examples for each connection type.
+A connection to object storage still uses the embedded library: your process
+reads and writes the bucket directly. Enterprise runs operations remotely and
+manages the supporting compute and maintenance.
+
+## Connect to Enterprise {#deployment}
+
+Replace the placeholders with the database URI, key, region and endpoint
+provided by your administrator.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+  <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {PyConnectEnterprisePlaceholders}
+  </CodeBlock>
+  <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="TypeScript" icon="square-js">
+    { "import * as lancedb from \"@lancedb/lancedb\";\n\n" }

+</CodeGroup>
+

+| `region` | `region` | Select the database's region |
+| `host_override` | `hostOverride` | Set the Enterprise endpoint |
+| `client_config` | `clientConfig` | Configure retries, timeouts and connection pooling. A retry can [repeat an append](/ingestion/insert#performance). |
+
+Use your deployment's region rather than relying on the `us-east-1` default.
+For application code, load credentials from environment variables or a secrets
+manager. See [Authentication](/enterprise/authentication) for OAuth and
+[SQL](/basics/sql) for the separate SQL connection settings.
+
+## Storage options {#storage-options}
+
+For OSS tables in object storage, `storage_options` configures credentials,
+endpoints and options for new tables. This example enables stable row IDs for
+tables created through the connection:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+import lancedb
+
+db = lancedb.connect(
+    "s3://bucket/path",
+    storage_options={"new_table_enable_stable_row_ids": "true"},
+)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+import * as lancedb from "@lancedb/lancedb";
+
+const db = await lancedb.connect("s3://bucket/path", {
+  storageOptions: { new_table_enable_stable_row_ids: "true" },
+});
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Set stable row IDs before creating a table that needs them, such as an ordinary
+materialized-view source in Python SDK 0.40.0. The option does not change tables
+that already exist. Enterprise storage settings are managed on the server.
+
+See [Storage](/deployment/storage) for provider credentials and other options.
+
+## Read consistency {#consistency}
+
+For OSS connections, `read_consistency_interval` controls how often reads check
+for table versions committed by other writers. For example, check at most once
+every five seconds:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+from datetime import timedelta
+import lancedb
+
+db = lancedb.connect(
+    "./.lancedb", read_consistency_interval=timedelta(seconds=5)
+)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+import * as lancedb from "@lancedb/lancedb";
+
+const db = await lancedb.connect("./.lancedb", { readConsistencyInterval: 5 });
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+By default, an OSS table handle does not automatically pick up another
+process's writes. Reopen the table, check out its latest version, or configure
+a consistency interval when you need those updates. A zero interval checks on
+every read, with the cost of a metadata check.
+
+Enterprise manages read freshness on the server. See
+[Consistency](/tables/consistency) for its behavior and the distinction between
+seeing your own writes and seeing another client's writes.
+
+## Database operations {#operations}
+
+The connection provides methods to create, open, list and drop tables.
+
+| Operation | Python | TypeScript |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Create a table | `create_table` | `createTable` |
+| Open a table | `open_table` | `openTable` |
+| List tables | `table_names`, `list_tables` | `tableNames`, `listTables` |
+| Drop a table | `drop_table` | `dropTable` |
+
+Use the namespace and pagination options documented in
+[Namespaces](/management/namespace) when working outside the root namespace
+or listing a large catalog. [Tables](/management/table) covers table schemas,
+versions and lifecycle operations.
+
+<Warning>
+Dropping a table removes its history as well as its current data. You cannot
+recover a dropped table through table versioning. The OSS `drop_database()`
+and `drop_all_tables()` operations remove all tables without a confirmation prompt.
+</Warning>
+
+## Async connections {#async}
+
+Python's `connect_async` returns an `AsyncConnection`. Await its operations
+when working in an asynchronous application:
+
+```python
+import lancedb
+
+db = await lancedb.connect_async("./.lancedb")
+table = await db.open_table("documents")
+```
+
+TypeScript's connection and table operations already return promises.
+
+An async connection and a background job serve different purposes. Async APIs
+let other tasks run while your application waits for an operation. A
+[job](/basics/jobs) represents work that can continue on the server after the
+submission call returns.

+    PyFunctionRegister as FunctionRegister,

+import { PyConnectEnterprisePlaceholders as FunctionConnect } from '/snippets/connection.mdx';
+
+Some columns cannot be written as a SQL expression: an embedding, a model call,
+an image decode. A function is a Python callable registered with the database,
+versioned, and then applied as a column — the code runs where the data is
+rather than pulling rows to your process.
+
+Registering and running a function needs a LanceDB Enterprise deployment with
+Functions enabled, which they are not by default. On a
+local connection `create_function` raises `NotImplementedError`; to derive a
+column locally, declare a
+[SQL computed column](/feature-engineering/add-computed-column) instead.
+
+<Note>
+In SQL, a function is registered with [`CREATE FUNCTION`](/sql/ddl/function#create) and listed with [`SHOW FUNCTIONS`](/sql/ddl/function#show).
+</Note>
+
+Functions are the way to fill columns with Python in LanceDB Enterprise. If you
+already use [Geneva](/geneva), it remains available; see
+[Geneva and Functions](/geneva#functions) for how its concepts map onto these.
+
+The steps below take a column of numbers to a filled column of their doubles.
+
+## Define a function {#define}
+
+`@udf` packages a scalar Python callable. Input and output types are inferred
+from annotations, so `double` takes one non-nullable `float64` parameter,
+`value`, and returns a non-nullable `float64`:
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+{FunctionDefine}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+The decorated object stays callable. Calling it runs the original function in
+your process, without the database, so unit tests stay ordinary tests:
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+{FunctionLocalCall}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+Where annotations cannot express the Arrow type precisely, pass `input_schema`
+and `output_schema` together — one without the other is rejected. A scalar
+output must be non-nullable, because a physical NULL is what marks a
+computed-column row as unfilled. A named-struct output may declare nullable
+fields: whether a row has a result at all is the struct's own validity, which
+Enterprise keeps in a separate internal column when it expands the result into
+sibling columns, so a null field is a value rather than a missing row.
+
+## Connect and create a table {#table}
+
+The remaining steps run against your Enterprise deployment. Replace the database
+URI, API key, region and endpoint below with your deployment details. In application
+code, load credentials from environment variables or a secrets manager:
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+{FunctionConnect}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+For an ordinary stored input column, the Arrow type must match the parameter.
+A nullable column requires a nullable parameter, such as `Optional[float]`;
+a non-nullable column can bind to either. This example uses `value: float`,
+so the table declares `value` non-nullable.
+
+Computed-column inputs depend on the Enterprise server version. Where supported,
+they bind to non-nullable parameters even though the physical column is
+nullable: refresh skips rows whose computed input is still null. Check your
+deployment's support before using another computed column as an input.
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+{FunctionCreateTable}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+## Register it {#register}
+
+Registration returns a job; the immutable version exists once the job succeeds.
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+{FunctionRegister}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+`create_function` is the blocking equivalent. A registered version is fetched
+with `db.get_function(name, version=...)`.
+
+<Note>
+**Enterprise job type:** `create_function`. Registration returns a job because
+the function is baked into an image before the version becomes usable.
+</Note>
+
+## Apply it as a column {#apply}
+
+Calling the registered version binds each parameter, by name, to a column with
+`col(...)`. `add_columns` declares the result as a new column:
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+{FunctionApply}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+The column is declared empty; the function has not run yet. A mapping with one
+function application keeps its scalar or named-struct result in the named
+column. A bare named-struct application expands its result fields as one atomic
+binding, with aliases from `rename(columns=...)`.
+
+## Fill the column {#refresh}
+
+A refresh runs the function on the cluster as a [job](/basics/jobs). `wait()`
+blocks until the job finishes and returns its result, including how many rows
+it filled:
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+{FunctionRefresh}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+The filled values are read like any other column:
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+{FunctionInspect}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+Filling then works as it does for a SQL computed column: a later refresh fills
+rows added since the last one and recomputes rows whose inputs changed, and
+leaves filled rows with unchanged inputs alone. See
+[Refresh a column](/feature-engineering/refresh-column).
+
+## Declare the environment {#environment}
+
+The function runs remotely, so its dependencies are part of its definition:
+
+| | |
+| --- | --- |
+| `pip` | requirements for the remote environment |
+| `conda`, `conda_channels` | conda packages instead of pip; channels in priority order |
+| `env` | environment variables |
+| `python_version` | remote Python major/minor, defaulting to yours |
+| `gpu` | whether every execution requires a GPU |
+
+These are part of the **immutable function version**. Changing a dependency
+produces a new version rather than altering the one already registered, so a
+column filled by version 1 is unaffected by version 2.
+
+Declaring them is not optional bookkeeping. If the worker environment differs
+from the one the function was written against, the failures are among the
+hardest to diagnose in the system, because the error rarely names the cause.
+
+### Symptoms of an environment mismatch {#mismatch-symptoms}
+
+| Symptom | Likely cause |
+| --- | --- |
+| `TypeError: Enum.__new__() missing 1 required positional argument` | `attrs` version mismatch |
+| `TypeError: Can't instantiate abstract class` | package structure differs between versions |
+| `ArrowInvalid: cannot cast`, or serialization errors | NumPy 1.x against 2.x |
+| `ModuleNotFoundError` on the worker | package installed locally but not declared |
+| Model loading failures | PyTorch version mismatch |
+| Permission denied | an API key present locally but absent from `env` |
+
+The packages worth pinning explicitly, because a mismatch in them produces the
+errors above rather than a clear one: **numpy, torch, pyarrow, attrs,
+pydantic**.
+
+<Note>
+The client version defaults `python_version`, so a function registered from a
+3.11 environment runs on 3.11 unless you say otherwise. That default is usually
+right and occasionally surprising -- pin it when the function is sensitive to it.
+</Note>
+
+## Failure handling {#failures}
+
+A function that raises fails the job. There is no per-row retry or skip policy
+in the function definition: `@udf` takes no error-handling parameter, so a
+function that calls a flaky external service should handle that itself, inside
+the function body.
+
+Letting the job fail is the other option: fix the cause and refresh again. The
+next refresh [skips rows that are filled and current](/feature-engineering/refresh-column#idempotent),
+but how much of the failed job's work was kept is not guaranteed, so do not
+count on the retry costing only the rows that did not complete.
+
+## What gets packaged {#packaging}
+
+<Warning>
+The artifact is a **snapshot**: the function source, plus exactly the
+module-level names it references — modules as imports, importable classes and
+functions as imports, literals inlined.
+
+Code that reaches the module namespace another way is rejected where it can be
+seen and unsupported where it cannot: `globals()`, `eval`, `sys.modules`,
+`builtins`. Closures and a non-standard `__builtins__` are rejected outright.
+</Warning>
+
+In practice this means a function should be self-contained: take its inputs as
+arguments, import what it needs at module level, and avoid capturing state from
+the surrounding scope.
+
+## Drop it {#drop}
+
+`db.drop_function(name, version=...)` drops the function's name and the object
+it is bound to; `version` must be a version that exists. It returns `False` if
+the name was already gone. Deleting the object's content can finish after the
+call returns, as a [background job](/maintenance/background-jobs).
+`drop_function_async` returns that job with the result, so you can wait for it.
+
+A deployment refuses the drop unless it also allows changes to a function's
+lifecycle, which is a separate setting, off by default even where Functions are
+enabled.

+
+| | Python | TypeScript | SQL |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |

+
+<Note>
+SQL `CREATE INDEX` covers one column and takes no user-chosen name -- the server
+names it. For a multi-column or named index, use the SDK.
+</Note>
+
+Indexes are a performance decision rather than a structural one, so they are
+covered under [Maintenance](/indexing).
+
+## Work within a namespace {#namespace-paths}
+
+Most connection-level operations take a `namespace_path` (`namespacePath`) to
+act inside a namespace rather than at the database root:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+db.table_names(namespace_path=["prod", "events"])
+tbl = db.open_table("clicks", namespace_path=["prod", "events"])
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+await db.tableNames(["prod", "events"]);
+const tbl = await db.openTable("clicks", ["prod", "events"]);
+```
+
+```sql SQL
+SELECT * FROM prod.events.clicks
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+In SQL the path is written as dotted identifiers instead.
+
+## Delete catalog objects {#dropping}
+
+<Warning>
+`drop_table` removes the table and every version of it. Table
+[versioning](/management/table#versioning) does not survive the table being dropped, and
+neither `drop_database` nor `drop_all_tables` asks for confirmation.
+</Warning>
+
+Dropping a **view** removes only the saved query. Dropping a **materialized
+view** removes stored rows, because a materialized view is a table.

+---
+
+A materialized view is a table whose contents are defined by a query over
+another table. The query is recorded in the view's schema, and a refresh
+brings its stored rows up to date with the source.
+
+The result is an ordinary table -- queryable, indexable, searchable, and present
+in `table_names()`. Nothing about reading it is special.
+
+This page covers creating and managing one. Keeping it current is
+[Refresh a materialized view](/feature-engineering/materialized-views).
+
+<Note>
+In SQL, see [`REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW`](/sql/dml/refresh#refresh-materialized-view) and [`SHOW MATERIALIZED VIEWS`](/sql/ddl/materialized-view#show).
+</Note>
+
+## Create a materialized view {#create}
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+view = db.create_materialized_view(
+    "recent_docs",
+    source="documents",
+    select=["id", "title", "embedding"],
+    where="created_at > TIMESTAMP '2026-01-01 00:00:00'",
+)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+const view = await db.createMaterializedView("recent_docs", "documents", {
+  select: ["id", "title", "embedding"],
+  where: "created_at > TIMESTAMP '2026-01-01 00:00:00'",
+});
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+`source` names the table the view reads. With Python SDK 0.40.0, create that
+table with stable row IDs before creating the view. The
+[complete example](/feature-engineering/materialized-views#create-and-refresh)
+shows the setup. `select`, `where` and `limit` define the query.
+
+## Open, list and drop views {#manage}
+
+| | Python | TypeScript | SQL |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| create | `create_materialized_view` | `createMaterializedView` | `CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW` |
+| open | `open_materialized_view` | `openMaterializedView` | -- |
+| list | `list_materialized_views` | `listMaterializedViews` | `SHOW MATERIALIZED VIEWS` |
+| refresh | `refresh` | `refresh` | `REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW` |
+| drop | `drop_table` | `dropTable` | `DROP TABLE` |
+
+<Note>
+On a local database, `list_materialized_views` reads table schemas to find
+views. On Enterprise, it asks the server for the view listing, as
+`SHOW MATERIALIZED VIEWS` does.
+</Note>
+
+A view is dropped with `drop_table`, because a materialized view **is** a table.
+That also means dropping one removes stored rows -- unlike dropping a
+[view](/management/view), which removes only a saved query.
+
+## Read the view and its definition {#working}
+
+`view.table` is the underlying table, for querying, indexing, or search.
+`view.definition` contains the query's select list, predicate and limit. Both are properties; on an async view, the definition is read with
+`await view.definition()`.
+
+## Enterprise compatibility {#deployment}
+
+Enterprise supports creating and refreshing materialized views on remote
+compute. Use the SDK version supported by your deployment, or the
+[SQL interface](/sql/ddl/materialized-view). See
+[Enterprise refreshes](/feature-engineering/materialized-views#availability)
+for compatibility considerations when upgrading an existing pipeline.

+
+LanceDB organizes Lance tables through a catalog-level abstraction defined by
+the *namespace spec*. LanceDB OSS is an embedded library for accessing those
+tables, and LanceDB Enterprise is a multimodal lakehouse that provides shared
+compute and catalog services on top of the Lance format.
+If you're coming from traditional databases or lakehouses, you can think of a namespace as the catalog path that says where a table name lives.
+
+Lance provides the **file** and **table** formats to store and manage your data and indexes.
+LanceDB operates at the catalog layer (used to organize, discover, and operate on many Lance tables)
+and provides a compute engine on top of the Lance format.
+
+This is why many SDK methods in LanceDB, like `create_table`, `open_table`, `drop_table`, and
+`rename_table`, accept namespace input. The SDK methods expose that input in the idiom of each
+language: Python uses `namespace_path`, Rust uses builder methods like `.namespace(...)`, and
+TypeScript uses `namespacePath` arguments.
+
+<Note>
+In LanceDB Enterprise SQL, a namespaced table is addressed as a [dotted path](/sql/dql/select#namespaces).
+</Note>
+
+## Namespace hierarchy {#namespace-hierarchy}
+
+Namespaces are generalizations of catalog specs that give platform developers a clean way to present Lance tables in the structures users expect. The diagram below shows how the hierarchy can go beyond a single level.
+A namespace can contain a collection of tables, and it can also contain namespaces recursively.
+
+![](/static/assets/images/namespaces/lance-namespace.png)
+
+Before diving into examples, it helps to keep two terms in mind: the **namespace client** is the abstraction that presents a consistent namespace API, while the **namespace implementation** is the concrete backend that resolves namespaces and table locations (for example, a local directory or an external catalog).
+If you want to go deeper, see the Lance format [namespace documentation](https://lance.org/format/namespace/).
+
+## Namespace paths and names {#namespace-paths-and-names}
+
+A namespace path is a list of components. For example, `["prod", "search"]` means the `search`
+namespace inside the `prod` namespace. The empty path, `[]`, means the root namespace.
+
+Each component is a name, not a filesystem path segment, and can't be empty. Keep each one to
+letters, numbers, underscores, hyphens, and periods, so the same identifier is usable everywhere: a
+local directory namespace accepts other characters too, but other namespace implementations and
+deployments can refuse them. [Naming rules](/basics/naming) has the lengths and the other limits.
+
+## Directory namespaces {#directory-namespaces}
+
+The simplest namespace model in LanceDB is a single root namespace, often represented by one
+directory. Namespaces can nest inside it, as in this hierarchy:
+
+```bash
+./local_lancedb (root)
+└── prod
+    └── search
+        └── user   (table)
+            └── data   (table)
+```
+
+The hierarchy is logical, not a tree of folders: a directory namespace records it in a
+`__manifest` table in the root directory, and stores each table in a directory of its own there.
+
+As a user of LanceDB OSS, you might never notice namespaces at first, because a plain connection
+uses only the root namespace, which is implicit. Connecting to this namespace is as simple as
+connecting to the catalog root:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+import lancedb
+
+# Connect to the directory namespace root
+db = lancedb.connect("./local_lancedb")
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+import * as lancedb from "@lancedb/lancedb";
+
+// Connect to the directory namespace root
+const db = await lancedb.connect("./local_lancedb");
+```
+
+```rust Rust icon="rust"
+use lancedb::connect;
+
+// Connect to the directory namespace root
+let db = connect("./local_lancedb").execute().await?;
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+A table created through this connection is stored directly under that path, as `<name>.lance`.
+
+You can also explicitly connect to a namespace using `lancedb.connect_namespace(...)` with the directory namespace implementation:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+import lancedb
+
+# Local namespace-backed catalog root (DirectoryNamespace)
+# See https://lance.org/format/namespace/dir/catalog-spec/
+db = lancedb.connect_namespace("dir", {"root": "./local_lancedb"})
+
+table_name = "user"
+data = [{"id": 1, "vector": [0.1, 0.2], "name": "alice"}]
+
+table = db.create_table(table_name, data=data, mode="create")
+print(f"Created table: {table.name}")
+# Created table: user
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+import * as lancedb from "@lancedb/lancedb";
+
+// Local namespace-backed catalog root (DirectoryNamespace)
+// See https://lance.org/format/namespace/dir/catalog-spec/
+const db = await lancedb.connectNamespace("dir", { root: "./local_lancedb" });
+
+const table = await db.createTable(
+  "user",
+  [{ id: 1, vector: [0.1, 0.2], name: "alice" }],
+  { mode: "create" },
+);
+console.log(`Created table: ${table.name}`);
+// Created table: user
+```
+
+```rust Rust icon="rust"
+use std::collections::HashMap;
+use std::sync::Arc;
+use arrow_schema::{DataType, Field, Schema};
+
+// Local namespace-backed catalog root (DirectoryNamespace)
+// See https://lance.org/format/namespace/dir/catalog-spec/
+let mut properties = HashMap::new();
+properties.insert("root".to_string(), "./local_lancedb".to_string());
+let db = lancedb::connect_namespace("dir", properties)
+    .execute()
+    .await?;
+
+let schema = Arc::new(Schema::new(vec![
+    Field::new("id", DataType::Int64, false),
+]));
+let table = db
+    .create_empty_table("user", schema)
+    .execute()
+    .await?;
+println!("Created table: {}", table.name());
+// Created table: user
+```

+
+<Info>
+- For simple use cases in LanceDB OSS, you don't need to go too deep into namespaces.
+- To integrate LanceDB with external catalogs, understand how each namespace implementation resolves table names and locations in your organization's setup.
+</Info>
+
+## Remote or external catalog namespaces {#remote-or-external-catalog-namespaces}
+
+The example above showed local directory-based namespaces. LanceDB also supports namespaces backed by remote object stores and external catalogs, via the REST namespace implementation.
+
+For remote object stores with central metadata or catalog services (either commercial or open source),
+use the REST namespace implementation. It is backed by REST routes
+(for example `POST /v1/namespace/{id}/create` and `GET /v1/namespace/{id}/list`) and server-provided table locations.
+
+For authentication, any property prefixed with `headers` is forwarded as an HTTP header
+(for example `headers.Authorization` becomes `Authorization`, and `headers.X-API-Key` becomes `X-API-Key`).
+LanceDB Enterprise REST requests use the `x-api-key` header for API-key authentication. Deployments
+that route multiple databases through the same endpoint can also use headers such as
+`x-lancedb-database` or `x-lancedb-database-prefix` for database context.
+
+Replace the catalog URL and credential placeholders below with your values. In
+application code, load credentials from environment variables or a secrets manager.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+import lancedb
+
+# Remote namespace-backed catalog root (RestNamespace)
+# See https://lance.org/format/namespace/rest/catalog-spec/

+    {
+        "uri": "https://<your_catalog>.internal.<your_org>.com",

+</CodeGroup>
+[LanceDB Enterprise](/enterprise) operates a REST namespace server on top of the Lance format, so any REST client that can speak the REST namespace API
+contract can be used to interact with it. It does not serve the contract's `exists` routes, so checks such as `namespace_exists`
+fail against it. For authentication examples in LanceDB Enterprise, visit
+the [Namespaces in SDKs](#namespaces-in-lancedb-enterprise) page. 
+
+## Best practices {#best-practices}
+
+Below, we list some best practices for working with namespaces:
+- For simple use cases and single, stand-alone applications, the directory-based root namespace is sufficient and requires no special configuration.
+- For remote storage locations, introduce explicit namespaces when multiple teams, environments, or domains share the same catalog.
+- Treat namespace paths as stable identifiers (for example `"prod/search"`, `"staging/recs"`).
+- For maintainability reasons, avoid hard-coding object-store table paths in application code -- instead, prefer catalog identifiers + namespaces.
+
+
+## Table operations with namespace paths {#table-operations-with-namespace-paths}
+
+Let's imagine a scenario where your table management needs have evolved, and you now have the following multi-level structure to organize your tables outside the root namespace.
+```
+./local_lancedb (root)
+└── prod
+    └── search
+        └── user   (table)
+            └── data   (table)
+    └── recommendations
+        └── user   (table)
+            └── data   (data)
+```
+
+Below, we show how you would express table operations within that namespace. Each item in the namespace
+list (`["prod", "search"]`) represents a level in the namespace hierarchy, and the table name is
+specified when you create, open, list, or drop it.
+
+The SDK methods expose the namespace path in the idiom of each language:
+
+- Python: pass `namespace_path=["prod", "search"]` to table operations.
+- Rust: call builder methods such as `.namespace(vec!["prod".to_string(), "search".to_string()])`.
+- TypeScript: pass a `namespacePath` array, for example `await db.openTable("user", ["prod", "search"])`.

+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsNamespaceTableOps}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Note>
+Using namespaces is **optional** in LanceDB, and most basic use cases do not require to work with them.
+An empty namespace (`[]`), which is the default, means the root namespace, whose tables are stored
+directly under the specified root path.
+</Note>
+
+## Namespace management APIs {#namespace-management-apis}
+
+You can open/create/drop tables inside a namespace path (like `["prod", "search"]`).
+All three SDKs expose namespace lifecycle operations directly.
+In Python, use `lancedb.connect_namespace(...)` when calling namespace lifecycle methods such as
+`create_namespace`, `list_namespaces`, `describe_namespace`, and `drop_namespace`.
+In TypeScript, use `lancedb.connectNamespace(...)` and call `createNamespace`, `listNamespaces`,
+`describeNamespace`, and `dropNamespace` on the returned `Connection`.
+In Rust, use `lancedb::connect_namespace(...)` and call `create_namespace`, `list_namespaces`,
+and `drop_namespace`.
+
+<CodeGroup>

+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsNamespaceAdminOps}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Namespace creation and deletion have modes that control what happens when the target already exists,
+doesn't exist, or contains data:
+
+- Create mode: `create` fails if the namespace already exists, `exist_ok` keeps the existing namespace, and `overwrite` replaces it.
+- Drop mode: `fail` reports an error when the namespace doesn't exist, and `skip` treats a missing namespace as a successful no-op.
+- Drop behavior: `restrict` keeps non-empty namespaces from being dropped, and `cascade` drops child namespaces and tables first.
+
+Namespace path components can't be empty, and are best kept to letters, numbers, underscores,
+hyphens, and periods, as [above](#namespace-paths-and-names).
+
+Listing APIs return the immediate children of the requested namespace path. Use `limit` with the
+returned `page_token` to page through large catalogs; pass an empty namespace path (`[]`) when you
+want to list from the root namespace. In Python, a listing returns a response: the names are in its
+`namespaces` or `tables`, and `page_token` is set when there is another page.
+
+## Namespaces in LanceDB Enterprise {#namespaces-in-lancedb-enterprise}
+
+In LanceDB Enterprise deployments, configure namespace-backed federated databases in a TOML file under your deployment's `config` directory.
+LanceDB Enterprise supports both directory-based (`ns_impl = "dir"`) and REST-based (`ns_impl = "rest"`) namespace implementations.
+The example below shows how to configure a directory-based namespace implementation in LanceDB Enterprise.
+```toml
+# Federated database configuration for DirectoryNamespace
+# This example uses minio storage
+[federated_dbs.federated_dir_test]
+ns_impl = "dir"
+root = "s3://<your-deployment>/<your-dir>"
+"storage.region" = "us-east-1"
+"storage.endpoint" = "http://localhost:9000"
+"storage.access_key_id" = "minioadmin"
+"storage.secret_access_key" = "minioadmin"
+"storage.allow_http" = "true"
+# Far future expiration (year 2100)
+"storage.expires_at_millis" = "4102444800000"
+```
+
+The example above uses MinIO, but the same approach applies to other cloud object storage platforms based on your deployment.
+
+For REST-based namespace servers, you can specify the namespace implementation as `"rest"` with forwarding prefixed headers
+for authentication and context propagation.
+
+```toml
+[federated_dbs.federated_rest_test]
+ns_impl = "rest"
+uri = "http://<your_org>.internal.catalog.com"
+forward_header_prefixes = ["X-forward"]
+```
+
+With `forward_header_prefixes = ["X-forward"]`, any incoming header starting with `X-forward` is forwarded to
+`http://<your_org>.internal.catalog.com`. This is useful for auth propagation, for example sending
+`X-forward-authorization: Bearer xxxx`.
+
+For the LanceDB REST API itself, requests use `x-api-key` for API-key authentication. If your endpoint
+serves more than one database, LanceDB can also use headers such as `x-lancedb-database` or
+`x-lancedb-database-prefix` to route the request to the right database context.

+A table stores data in rows and columns and keeps a history of committed
+versions. Queries read table data, writes update it, and indexes accelerate
+searches over its columns. Branches let you make changes separately from the
+main table history.
+
+This page covers table management, data types, schema changes and version
+history. For loading records, see [Ingestion](/ingestion). For changes to
+columns, see [Schema evolution](/management/table#schema).
+
+<Note>
+In LanceDB Enterprise, tables are also created and dropped in SQL with [`CREATE TABLE` and `DROP TABLE`](/sql/ddl/table).
+</Note>
+
+## Table structure and metadata {#carries}
+
+| | |
+| --- | --- |
+| **Columns** | including vectors, blobs, and [computed](/feature-engineering/add-computed-column) columns |
+| **Versions** | every write commits one, so reads can [travel back](/management/table#versioning) |
+| **Indexes** | vector, full-text and scalar, built over its columns |
+| **Branches** | isolated lines of change you can [merge or discard](/tables/branching) |
+
+## Create a table {#create}
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+tbl = db.create_table("documents", data)
+tbl = db.create_table("documents", schema=schema)     # empty, typed
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+const tbl = await db.createTable("documents", data);
+const tbl = await db.createEmptyTable("documents", schema);
+```
+
+```sql SQL
+CREATE TABLE documents (id BIGINT, title VARCHAR)
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+`data` can be a list of objects, an Arrow table or reader, a pandas or polars
+frame, or Pydantic models. [Ingesting data](/ingestion) covers each, plus
+`exist_ok` and `mode="overwrite"` for re-runnable scripts.
+
+<Warning>
+An explicit schema is where nullability is decided. In the embedded library,
+creation is also the only point at which a table can be given **stable row
+ids**; in LanceDB Enterprise, whether a new table gets them is the deployment's
+setting. See [Limits](/basics/limits#schema).
+</Warning>
+
+## Open and list tables {#open}
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+tbl = db.open_table("documents")
+db.table_names()
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+const tbl = await db.openTable("documents");
+await db.tableNames();
+```
+
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Each accepts `namespace_path` to act inside a [namespace](/management/namespace)
+rather than at the database root.
+
+To find out whether a table exists, open it and handle the error, or look for
+its name in a listing. A missing table raises `ValueError` on a local directory
+or a deployment, and `lance_namespace.TableNotFoundError` on a connection from
+`connect_namespace`. A listing returns one page of names at a time, so check
+every page. Python's `table_exists` is no substitute: a local directory or a
+deployment raises `NotImplementedError` for it, and on a connection from
+`connect_namespace("dir", ...)` or `connect_namespace("rest", ...)` it fails with
+an `AttributeError`. TypeScript has no `tableExists`.
+
+## Rename and clone tables {#rename-clone}
+
+```python
+db.rename_table("documents", "docs")
+
+db.clone_table(
+    "docs_snapshot",
+    source_uri="s3://bucket/db/documents.lance",
+    source_version=42,       # or source_tag="release-1"
+    is_shallow=True,
+)
+```
+
+Renaming is not supported on a local directory connection. In LanceDB Enterprise,
+whether a table can be renamed or cloned at all depends on how the deployment
+stores its catalog.
+
+A **shallow** clone -- the default -- references the source's data files rather
+than copying them, so it is fast and cheap regardless of table size. It is the
+practical way to branch an experiment off a known version, or to pin a training
+set to the exact version a model saw.
+
+<Warning>
+A shallow clone depends on the source's files continuing to exist. If the source
+is [compacted](/maintenance/compaction) past the retention window, the version
+the clone points at can be pruned. Local OSS connections support shallow clones
+only; `is_shallow=False` is not implemented. If the copy must outlive the
+source's history, copy its data into an independent table instead. A deployment
+that supports cloning also makes shallow clones only, and one whose catalog
+does not support it refuses every clone.
+</Warning>
+
+<Note>
+**Enterprise job type:** on an Enterprise cluster that drops tables in the background,
+the teardown runs as a job: `drop_table`, which fences the table's directory
+with a marker and deletes its content, or `drop_object`, depending on how the
+deployment stores its catalog. See
+[Background jobs](/maintenance/background-jobs#teardown).
+</Note>
+
+## Drop a table {#drop}
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+db.drop_table("documents")
+job = db.drop_table_async("documents")
+db.drop_all_tables()
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+await db.dropTable("documents");
+const job = await db.dropTableAsync("documents");
+await db.dropAllTables();
+```
+
+```sql SQL
+DROP TABLE documents
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Warning>
+Dropping removes the table and **every version of it**.
+[Versioning](/management/table#versioning) does not survive a drop, and neither
+`drop_all_tables` nor `drop_database` asks for confirmation. Both work only on
+a local database; on an Enterprise connection the SDK raises instead.
+</Warning>
+
+On a large table the drop can take a while, so `drop_table_async` returns a
+[job](/basics/jobs) rather than blocking when the deployment drops tables in the
+background. In the embedded library, and on an Enterprise cluster that drops inline, the
+returned job has already finished.
+

+
+## Data types {#data-types}
+
+A table's schema is an **Arrow schema** -- there is no separate LanceDB type
+system mapped onto storage, so a column is the same object to the query engine
+as it is to the format.
+
+| Category | Types |
+| --- | --- |
+| Numeric | `int8`-`int64` and unsigned, `float16`, `float32`, `float64` |
+| String and binary | `utf8`, `large_utf8`, `binary`, `large_binary`, `fixed_size_binary(n)` |
+| Date and time | `date32`, `date64`, `time32`, `time64`, `timestamp`, `duration` |
+| Nested | `struct`, `list`, `large_list`, `fixed_size_list`, `map` |
+| Lance extensions | vectors, [JSON](/sql/data-types#json), [blobs](#multimodal), bfloat16 |
+
+A vector column is a `fixed_size_list<float32, dim>` -- an ordinary Arrow type,
+which is why it is selectable and joinable but why arithmetic over it is list
+arithmetic rather than scalar.
+
+See [SQL data types](/sql/data-types) for the full reference, including the
+extension types and pseudo-columns.
+
+## Multimodal data {#multimodal}
+
+Binary data -- images, audio, video, model artifacts -- lives in the table
+beside the structured columns and embeddings that describe it, and is governed
+by the same versioning and search.
+
+Small values go in an ordinary `binary` column. Large ones go in a **blob**
+column, stored out of line so a scan over the other columns stays fast. See
+[Data types](/sql/data-types#blobs) for how the two differ to a reader.
+
+### Store binary data {#multimodal-store-binary-data}
+
+To store binary data, define a binary Arrow field in your schema (`pa.binary()` in Python, `Binary` in TypeScript, and `DataType::Binary` in Rust).
+
+#### 1\. Setup and imports {#multimodal-1-setup-and-imports}
+
+First, import the necessary libraries for LanceDB and Arrow in your SDK.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {MultimodalImports}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="TypeScript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsMultimodalImports}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsMultimodalImports}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+#### 2\. Prepare data {#multimodal-2-prepare-data}
+
+For this example, we'll create some dummy in-memory images. In a real application, you would read these from files or an API. The key is to convert your data (image, audio, etc.) into a raw `bytes` object.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {CreateDummyData}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="TypeScript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsCreateDummyData}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsCreateDummyData}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+#### 3\. Define the schema {#multimodal-3-define-the-schema}
+
+When creating the table, it is **highly recommended** to define the schema explicitly. This ensures that your binary data is correctly interpreted as a `binary` type by Arrow/LanceDB and not as a generic string or list.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {DefineSchema}
+    </CodeBlock>

+    {TsDefineSchema}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsDefineSchema}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+#### 4\. Ingest data {#multimodal-4-ingest-data}
+
+Now, create the table using the data and the defined schema.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {IngestData}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="TypeScript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsIngestData}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsIngestData}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Retrieve and use blobs {#multimodal-retrieve-and-use-blobs}
+
+When you search your LanceDB table, you can retrieve the binary column just like any other metadata.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {SearchData}
+    </CodeBlock>

+    {TsSearchData}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsSearchData}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+#### Convert bytes back to objects {#multimodal-convert-bytes-back-to-objects}
+
+Once you have the bytes back from the search result, you can decode them into the original format (for example, an image object or audio buffer).
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {ProcessResults}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="TypeScript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsProcessResults}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsProcessResults}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Large Blobs (Blob API) {#multimodal-large-blobs-blob-api}
+
+For larger files like high-resolution images or videos, Lance provides a specialized **Blob API**. By using a large-binary Arrow type (`pa.large_binary()` in Python, `LargeBinary` in TypeScript, and `DataType::LargeBinary` in Rust) and specific metadata, you enable **lazy loading** and optimized encoding. This allows you to work with massive datasets without loading all binary data into memory upfront.
+
+#### 1\. Define a blob schema {#multimodal-1-define-a-blob-schema}
+
+To use the Blob API, you must mark the column with `{"lance-encoding:blob": "true"}` metadata.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {BlobApiSchema}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="TypeScript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsBlobApiSchema}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsBlobApiSchema}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+#### 2\. Ingest large blobs {#multimodal-2-ingest-large-blobs}
+
+You can then ingest data normally, and Lance will handle the optimized storage.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {BlobApiIngest}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="TypeScript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsBlobApiIngest}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsBlobApiIngest}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Card>
+For more advanced usage, including random access and file-like reading of blobs, see the
+Lance format's [blob API documentation](https://lance.org/guide/blob/).
+</Card>
+
+#### 3\. Convert blob tables to pandas {#multimodal-3-convert-blob-tables-to-pandas}
+
+When you call `to_pandas()` on a local LanceDB table that contains Blob API columns, the `blob_mode` argument controls how those columns materialize. This is available in the Python SDK on local tables; remote tables raise `NotImplementedError`.
+
+`blob_mode` accepts:
+
+- `"lazy"` (default): returns blob columns as lazy `BlobFile` objects without eagerly materializing their payloads. Use this when you want to stream blob bytes on demand or only inspect a subset of rows. Namespace-backed local tables also use the Lance native blob-aware pandas conversion for lazy blobs; in-memory datasets fall back to the standard PyArrow `to_pandas()` path.
+- `"bytes"`: eagerly materializes each blob as `bytes`. Use this when you need the raw payload in the DataFrame, for example to decode an image or audio clip in-process.
+- `"descriptions"`: returns blob descriptors (offsets, sizes, and positions) instead of the data itself. Use this when you want to plan I/O without paying the cost of loading every blob.
+
+`"bytes"` is not supported on in-memory tables.
+
+Extra keyword arguments are forwarded to the underlying PyArrow / Lance pandas conversion, so you can also pass options like `split_blocks` or `self_destruct`:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {BlobApiToPandas}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Query builders also accept `blob_mode` on their `to_pandas()` method:
+
+- Plain scans support `"lazy"`, `"bytes"`, and `"descriptions"` with filters, projections, aliases, `limit`, and `offset`.
+- Vector, FTS, hybrid, and ordered queries can't materialize blob columns through `to_pandas()`; omit blob columns from the projection for those query shapes.
+- This works on both sync and async query builders. Extra PyArrow kwargs like `split_blocks` and `self_destruct` are still forwarded.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {QueryToPandasKwargs}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Other modalities {#multimodal-other-modalities}
+
+The `pa.binary()` and `pa.large_binary()` types are universal. You can use this same pattern for other types of multimodal data:
+
+- **Audio:** Read `.wav` or `.mp3` files as bytes.
+- **Video:** Store video transitions or full clips using the Blob API.
+- **PDFs/Documents:** Store the raw file content for document search.
+
+### bfloat16 {#multimodal-bfloat16}
+
+Sixteen-bit floats in the bfloat16 layout, stored as `fixed_size_binary(2)`.
+Useful as a vector element type when halving the memory matters more than the
+precision does.
+
+## Schema evolution {#schema}
+
+Schema evolution enables non-breaking modifications to a database table's structure — such as adding columns, altering data types, or dropping fields — to adapt to evolving data requirements without service interruptions. 
+LanceDB supports ACID-compliant schema evolution through granular operations (add/alter/drop columns), allowing you to:
+
+* Iterate Safely: Modify schemas in production with versioned datasets and backward compatibility
+* Scale Seamlessly: Handle ML model iterations, regulatory changes, or feature additions
+* Optimize Continuously: Remove unused fields or enforce new constraints without downtime
+
+<Note>
+In SQL, schema changes are [`ALTER TABLE`](/sql/ddl/table#alter).
+</Note>
+
+### Schema evolution operations {#schema-schema-evolution-operations}
+
+LanceDB supports four primary schema evolution operations:
+
+1. **Adding new columns**: Extend your table with additional attributes
+2. **Altering existing columns**: Change column names, data types, or nullability
+3. **Updating field metadata**: Attach or change per-column Arrow metadata
+4. **Dropping columns**: Remove unnecessary columns from your schema
+
+
+<Tip title="Schema Evolution Performance">
+Schema evolution operations are applied immediately but do not typically require rewriting all data. However, data type changes may involve more substantial operations.
+</Tip>
+
+Each schema evolution operation commits a new table version and returns status metadata such as
+the committed `version`. Run these operations from a mutable table handle; if you checked out an
+older version for reads, call `checkout_latest` / `checkoutLatest` before modifying the schema.
+
+### Add new columns {#schema-add-new-columns}
+
+You can add new columns to a table with the [`add_columns`](https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/python/python/#lancedb.table.Table.add_columns) 
+method in Python, [`addColumns`](https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/js/classes/Table/#addcolumns) in TypeScript/JavaScript, or `add_columns` in Rust. 
+New columns are populated based on SQL expressions you provide.
+
+
+#### Set up the example table {#schema-set-up-the-example-table}
+
+First, let's create a sample table with product data to demonstrate schema evolution:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {PySchemaAddSetup}
+    </CodeBlock>

+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsSchemaAddSetup}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Note>
+Columns derived from existing data -- SQL expressions over other columns -- are
+covered in [Data evolution](/feature-engineering/data-evolution), because
+deriving values is a feature-engineering job rather than a schema one.
+</Note>
+
+#### Add columns with default values {#schema-add-columns-with-default-values}
+
+Add boolean columns with default values for status tracking:

+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Warning title="NULL Values in New Columns">
+When adding columns that should contain NULL values, be sure to cast the NULL to the appropriate type, e.g., `cast(NULL as timestamp)`.
+</Warning>
+
+### Alter existing columns {#schema-alter-existing-columns}
+
+You can alter columns using the [`alter_columns`](https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/python/python/#lancedb.table.Table.alter_columns)
+method in Python, [`alterColumns`](https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/js/classes/Table/#altercolumns) in TypeScript/JavaScript, or `alter_columns` in Rust. This allows you to:
+
+- Rename a column
+- Change a column's data type
+- Modify nullability (whether a column can contain NULL values)
+
+
+#### Set up the example table {#schema-set-up-the-example-table-2}

+Changing a column to nullable affects future writes and merges too: missing values are accepted
+only when the target column is nullable.

+
+#### Expression-based type changes {#schema-expression-based-type-changes}
+
+For transformations that are not simple casts (for example, converting `"$100"` to an integer), use a SQL-expression column add, then drop and rename:

+
+#### Alter embedding types and dimensions {#schema-alter-embedding-types-and-dimensions}
+
+It's quite common to need to change an embedding column's schema, in case a new model becomes available with a different embedding dimension.
+- In Python, the example shows an in-place type update when the cast is compatible.
+- In TypeScript and Rust, the example shows a dimension change (`384 -> 1024`), which cannot be cast in-place.
+
+For dimension changes, use this 3-step pattern: add a new column with the target type, drop the old column, then rename the new column to the original name.

+
+<Warning>
+**`FixedSizeList` Dimension Changes in TypeScript and Rust**
+
+`alterColumns` / `alter_columns` can cast between compatible types, but changing `FixedSizeList` dimensions (for example `384 -> 1024`) is not a compatible cast.
+For such cases, use `addColumns` / `add_columns` (with `arrow_cast`), then `dropColumns` / `drop_columns`, then rename the replacement column.
+</Warning>
+
+<Warning title="Data Type Changes">
+Changing data types requires rewriting the column data and may be resource-intensive for large tables. Renaming columns or changing nullability is more efficient as it only updates metadata.
+</Warning>
+
+### Update field metadata {#schema-update-field-metadata}
+
+Each column in a LanceDB table can carry a small key/value map of Arrow field metadata — useful
+for annotating columns with units, provenance, PII flags, embedding model versions, or any other
+schema-level context your application needs.
+
+Use [`update_field_metadata`](https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/python/python/#lancedb.table.Table.update_field_metadata)
+in Python, [`updateFieldMetadata`](https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/js/classes/Table/#updatefieldmetadata)
+in TypeScript/JavaScript, or `update_field_metadata` in Rust to add, change, or remove these
+key/value pairs without rewriting the column data. Each call commits a new table version and returns
+the new `version`.
+
+Each update targets one field by **dot-path**: top-level columns are addressed by name (for
+example `"embedding"`), and nested fields by their full path (for example `"address.zip"`). By
+default, the keys you pass are **merged** into the field's existing metadata — keys you do not
+mention are preserved, and passing `None` (Python) or `null` (TypeScript) deletes a key. Set
+`replace: true` to swap the field's entire metadata map instead of merging.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {SchemaFieldMetadataMerge}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="TypeScript" icon="square-js">

+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsSchemaFieldMetadataMerge}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+To overwrite a field's metadata entirely instead of merging, set `replace` to `true`:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {SchemaFieldMetadataReplace}
+    </CodeBlock>
+

+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsSchemaFieldMetadataReplace}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Tip>
+You can pass multiple updates in a single call to change metadata on several fields at once —
+each call commits a single new table version.
+</Tip>
+
+#### Canonical metadata keys {#schema-canonical-metadata-keys}
+
+You can use any string as a metadata key. By convention, LanceDB treats keys prefixed with
+`lancedb:` as canonical. LanceDB Enterprise displays these keys in the UI, and agents can rely
+on finding this information in a consistent place. Use them when they fit your use case:
+
+| Key | Purpose | Example |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `lancedb:description` | Human-readable description of the field. | `"CLIP embedding of the product image"` |
+| `lancedb:tag:<name>` | User-defined key/value tag, where the suffix names the tag category. | `"lancedb:tag:model": "clip"` |
+| `lancedb:logical-column` | Groups related columns into one logical column. For example, `feature_v1` and `feature_v2` might belong to the same logical column. | `"lancedb:logical-column": "feature"` |
+| `lancedb:status` | Life cycle state of the column: `production`, `candidate`, `deprecated`, or `archived`. | `"lancedb:status": "production"` |
+
+<Note>
+These keys are conventions, not enforced constraints. LanceDB does not validate their values,
+but following the conventions keeps your tables consistent with Enterprise tooling.
+</Note>
+
+### Drop columns {#schema-drop-columns}
+
+You can remove columns using the [`drop_columns`](https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/python/python/#lancedb.table.Table.drop_columns)
+ method in Python, [`dropColumns`](https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/js/classes/Table/#dropcolumns) in TypeScript/JavaScript, or `drop_columns` in Rust.
+
+
+#### Set Up the example table {#schema-set-up-the-example-table-3}
+
+Create a table with temporary columns that we'll remove:
+

+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsSchemaDropSetup}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+#### Drop single columns {#schema-drop-single-columns}
+
+Remove individual columns that are no longer needed:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {DropColumnsSingle}

+    {RsDropColumnsMultiple}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Warning title="Dropping a column is undone only by restoring a version">
+Dropping a column changes the latest version only. Until
+[cleanup](/maintenance/cleanup) prunes the versions from before the drop,
+[restoring](#versioning) one of them brings the column and its values back --
+along with the rest of the table as it was then. Once those versions are
+pruned, the drop cannot be undone, so check before dropping a column you may
+need.
+</Warning>
+
+## Versioning {#versioning}
+
+This page shows the core table-versioning APIs used in the code snippets for Python, TypeScript, and Rust.
+Each operation below maps directly to methods shown in the examples.
+
+### Basic Versioning Example {#versioning-basic-versioning-example}
+
+Let's create a table with sample data to demonstrate LanceDB's versioning capabilities:
+
+#### Set Up the Table {#versioning-set-up-the-table}
+
+First, let's create a table with some sample data:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {VersioningBasicSetup}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="TypeScript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsVersioningBasicSetup}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsVersioningBasicSetup}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Expandable title="Rust helper used in this page">
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsVersioningMakeQuotesReader}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+</Expandable>
+
+#### Check Initial Version {#versioning-check-initial-version}
+
+After creating the table, let's check the initial version information:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {VersioningCheckInitialVersion}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="TypeScript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsVersioningCheckInitialVersion}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsVersioningCheckInitialVersion}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Modify Data {#versioning-modify-data}
+
+When you modify data through operations like update or delete, LanceDB automatically creates new versions.
+
+#### Update Existing Data {#versioning-update-existing-data}
+
+Let's update some existing records to see versioning in action:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {VersioningUpdateData}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="TypeScript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsVersioningUpdateData}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsVersioningUpdateData}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+#### Add New Data {#versioning-add-new-data}
+
+Now let's add more records to the table:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {VersioningAddData}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="TypeScript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsVersioningAddData}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsVersioningAddData}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+#### Check Version Changes {#versioning-check-version-changes}
+
+Let's see how the versions have changed after our modifications:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {VersioningCheckVersionsAfterMod}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="TypeScript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsVersioningCheckVersionsAfterMod}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsVersioningCheckVersionsAfterMod}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Rollback to Previous Versions {#versioning-rollback-to-previous-versions}
+
+LanceDB supports fast rollbacks to any previous version without data duplication.
+
+#### View All Versions {#versioning-view-all-versions}
+
+First, let's see all the versions we've created:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {VersioningListAllVersions}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="TypeScript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsVersioningListAllVersions}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsVersioningListAllVersions}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+#### Restore a Version Snapshot {#versioning-restore-a-version-snapshot}
+
+Now let's restore a captured version snapshot:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {VersioningRollback}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="TypeScript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsVersioningRollback}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsVersioningRollback}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Tag-Based Versioning {#versioning-tag-based-versioning}
+
+Numeric table versions like `v3` or `v17` are precise but hard to remember. Tags
+let you attach human-readable labels (e.g., `"prod"`, `"baseline"`,
+`"q3-evaluation"`) to specific versions and check those out by name. They are
+conceptually similar to git tags, and unlike numeric versions, **tagged versions
+are never pruned** -- a tagged version that is older than the retention window and
+is not the latest stops cleanup instead (see the cleanup note at the bottom of this
+page).
+
+The tags API supports the standard CRUD operations — create, list, update, delete —
+plus checking out by tag name.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {VersioningTags}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="TypeScript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsVersioningTags}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsVersioningTags}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Note>
+Deleting a tag only removes the label, not the version it points to. After
+deletion, the underlying table version becomes eligible for cleanup again.
+</Note>
+
+### Branches {#versioning-branches}
+
+Beyond linear history, LanceDB also supports **branches** — isolated, writable
+lines of history forked from `main` (or a specific version). Whereas tags and
+`checkout` give you read-only views of existing versions, a branch has its own
+writable history, making it ideal for experiments, backfills, and migrations
+that you want to keep separate from production reads on `main`.
+
+Branches are covered in their own guide: see [Branches](/tables/branching).
+
+### Delete Data From the Table {#versioning-delete-data-from-the-table}
+
+Let's demonstrate how deletions also create new versions:
+
+#### Go Back to Latest Version {#versioning-go-back-to-latest-version}
+
+First, let's return to the latest version:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {VersioningCheckoutLatest}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="TypeScript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsVersioningCheckoutLatest}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsVersioningCheckoutLatest}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+#### Delete Data {#versioning-delete-data}
+
+Now let's delete some data to see how it affects versioning:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {VersioningDeleteData}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="TypeScript" icon="square-js">
+    {TsVersioningDeleteData}
+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsVersioningDeleteData}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+#### Version History and Operations {#versioning-version-history-and-operations}
+
+On a fresh table, the snippets in this guide produce this version sequence:
+
+1. `v1`: create table (`create_table` / `createTable` / `create_table`)
+2. `v2`: update rows (`update`)
+3. `v3`: add rows (`add`)
+4. `v4`: restore snapshot (`restore`) from `version_after_mod`/`versionAfterMod`
+5. `v5`: delete rows (`delete`)
+
+Read-only and checkout operations shown here (`list_versions`/`listVersions`, `version`, `checkout`, `checkout_latest`/`checkoutLatest`) do not create new versions.
+
+The version metadata fields can differ by backend. Direct table-backed version listing exposes a
+timestamp, while namespace-backed listing may expose fields such as `manifest_path`,
+`manifest_size`, `e_tag`, and `timestamp_millis`. In deployments that use managed versioning,
+prefer the table version APIs exposed by LanceDB Enterprise or the namespace service instead of
+mixing in lower-level Lance file operations.
+
+<Note>
+**System Operations**
+
+System operations like `optimize()`, index updates, and table compaction also increment table version numbers.
+In LanceDB OSS, `optimize()` can prune older versions based on its retention setting (`cleanup_older_than`, 7 days by default),
+which is when old-version files are removed and disk space is reclaimed. A deployment prunes them in the background
+when its configuration enables [cleanup](/maintenance/cleanup); `optimize()` is not available there.
+
+**Tagged versions are never pruned.** A version with a tag pointing at it is
+retained regardless of age. When a tagged version is older than the retention window and
+is not the latest, cleanup refuses to run instead of pruning around it: `optimize()` raises
+an error naming the tag and prunes nothing. A tag on the latest version does not cause
+this, but `optimize()` compacts before it prunes, and compacting commits a new version
+whenever it merges files, so a tag on what was the latest version can become an older
+one by the time cleanup runs; the error then comes after compacting, and the index
+update does not run. To let cleanup proceed, [move the tag](#versioning-tag-based-versioning)
+to a version inside the retention window, delete it, or widen the window.

+    Enterprise supports views when enabled for your Enterprise cluster; the embedded library cannot create them.
+---
+
+A view saves a query that you can refer to by name. Reading the view executes
+that query against the source tables, using their read-consistency behavior.
+Views do not store a separate copy of the result.
+
+It is the counterpart to a
+[materialized view](/management/materialized-view), which stores rows and is
+brought up to date by a refresh. Both are [catalog objects](/basics/catalog)
+defined by a query; choose a materialized view when you need to store and reuse the result.
+
+| | View | Materialized view |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Stores | the query | the rows |
+| Freshness | follows source-table reads | as of the last refresh |
+| Read cost | executes the saved query | queries the stored result |
+| Write cost | none | a refresh |
+
+Views are created in LanceDB Enterprise, either in SQL over the
+[Flight SQL endpoint](/sql#connecting) or with the SDKs' `create_view` /
+`createView`, which send the query to the deployment. Either way, the deployment
+must have views enabled. See [View](/sql/ddl/view) for `CREATE VIEW`,
+`DROP VIEW`, and listing.

+This quickstart uses a local database and works without an account or API key.
+
+Follow the steps below, or jump to the [complete examples](#code) to copy a runnable program.
+
+## 1\. Install LanceDB {#1-install-lancedb}
+
+Choose your language. Python uses Polars to display the search results. TypeScript needs Node.js 22.18 or later to run the `.mts` example directly.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```bash Python (pip) icon="python"
+pip install lancedb polars
+```
+
+```bash Python (uv) icon="python"
+uv venv
+uv pip install lancedb polars
+```
+
+```bash TypeScript icon="square-js"
+npm install @lancedb/lancedb
+```
+
+```bash Rust icon="rust"
+cargo init --name lancedb_quickstart
+cargo add lancedb@0.31.0 --features polars,remote
+cargo add tokio --features macros,rt-multi-thread
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Run the Rust commands in a new, empty directory. The `polars` feature provides DataFrame output; `remote` also lets this example connect to Enterprise.
+
+<Accordion title="Python pre-release builds and older CPUs">
+### Python pre-release builds {#python-pre-release-builds}
+
+To pick up the latest features and bug fixes
+before the next stable release, install a pre-release from LanceDB's Fury index.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```bash Python (pip) icon="terminal"
+pip install --pre --extra-index-url https://pypi.fury.io/lancedb/ lancedb
+```
+
+```bash Python (uv) icon="terminal"
+uv venv
+uv pip install --prerelease allow --index https://pypi.fury.io/lancedb/ lancedb
+
+# To add to pyproject.toml, use:
+uv add --prerelease allow --index https://pypi.fury.io/lancedb/ lancedb
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Note>
+Pre-release builds receive the same level of testing as stable releases, but their availability is not guaranteed
+for more than 6 months after release. For real-world workloads, we recommend you use the latest stable release
+as far as possible.
+</Note>
+
+### Older x86_64 CPUs {#older-x86-cpus}
+The default `lancedb` wheel targets `x86-64-haswell` (AVX2 + FMA + F16C). On older x86_64 CPUs without AVX2
+(Intel Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, Westmere; AMD Bulldozer, Piledriver, Steamroller), `import lancedb` crashes
+with `Illegal instruction`.
+
+Install `lancedb-compat` instead. It exposes the same API (`import lancedb` still works), is built at the
+`x86-64-v2` baseline, and uses runtime SIMD dispatch to still use AVX2, FMA, or AVX-512 when available:
+
+```bash Python (pip) icon="terminal"
+pip install lancedb-compat
+```
+
+The two packages share the same `lancedb/` namespace and conflict at install time, so pick one. To switch,
+uninstall the other first (`pip uninstall lancedb && pip install lancedb-compat`).
+
+
+</Accordion>
+
+## 2\. Connect to a database {#2-connect-to-a-lancedb-database}
+
+### Use a local directory {#connect-via-local-directory-path}
+
+LanceDB creates an `ex_lancedb` directory to store your tables. No server is needed.

+Reranking changes the order of records returned by an initial search. It can
+combine several ranked lists or use a model to score each candidate against
+the query. It cannot recover records that the initial searches did not retrieve.
+
+## Choose a reranker
+
+- **Rank fusion:** start with RRF for hybrid search. It combines vector and
+  full-text rankings without a model or a provider API call.
+- **Model-based reranking:** try a cross encoder or hosted reranking model
+  when you need a different relevance judgment over the retrieved text.
+  Compare the relevance gain with added latency and provider cost.
+- **Custom ranking:** implement the reranker interface when your application
+  needs its own scoring policy.
+
+<span id="quickstart"></span>
+
+<Accordion title="Run a complete RRF example in Python, TypeScript or Rust">
+
+These examples use three sample records and hand-written vectors, so no
+embedding service is needed. Each program creates a temporary local table
+and removes it when finished.
+
+- **Python:** Install with `pip install lancedb`, save as `rerank_search.py`, then run `python rerank_search.py`.
+- **TypeScript:** Install with `npm install @lancedb/lancedb`, save as `rerank_search.mts`, then run `node rerank_search.mts` with Node.js 22.18 or later.
+- **Rust:** Download and extract the [complete Rust examples](/static/code/search-rust.zip), then run `cargo run --locked --bin hybrid_search` from the extracted directory.

+
+The result includes `_relevance_score` in descending order. RRF is already the
+hybrid-search default; passing it explicitly shows where to substitute another
+reranker. These scores express a ranking, not a probability of correctness.
+
+</Accordion>
+
+## Supported rerankers {#supported-rerankers}
+
+Use rank fusion to combine search results without a model, or a model-based
+reranker to score each document against the query. Reranking runs in your
+application after retrieval, including when the table is in Enterprise.
+
+| Reranker | Method | SDK |
+|:---------|:-------|:----|
+| `RRFReranker` | Reciprocal rank fusion | Python, TypeScript, Rust |
+| `MRRReranker` | Weighted reciprocal rank fusion | Python |
+| `LinearCombinationReranker` (deprecated) | Blend normalized scores | Python |
+| `CrossEncoderReranker` | Score query-document pairs with a local cross encoder | Python |
+| `ColbertReranker`, `AnswerdotaiRerankers` | Local model reranking | Python |
+| Provider rerankers | Call a hosted model, such as Cohere, Jina or Voyage AI | Python |
+
+Local model rerankers need their model runtime packages. Hosted rerankers need
+provider credentials and make API calls. See [reranking integrations](/integrations/reranking)
+for provider setup and model selection; specify a model supported by your provider.
+
+Rerankers add `_relevance_score` and return rows ordered by descending relevance. Python rerankers
+accept a `return_score` option; use `"all"` where supported to keep the
+original vector distance or FTS score columns for debugging. Model-based rerankers read from
+`column="text"` by default, so either return that column in the search results or pass a different
+column.
+
+`refine_factor` expands the vector index's internal candidate pool and rescores
+those candidates using full vectors before keeping the requested limit. It
+can improve the candidates available for reranking, but it does not multiply
+the final result count. Compare retrieval recall and total query latency.
+
+<Note>
+**SDK coverage differs across languages**
+
+The provider-specific rerankers in the table above
+(`CohereReranker`, `CrossEncoderReranker`, `ColbertReranker`, and others under `lancedb.rerankers`)
+are currently **Python-only**. The TypeScript and Rust SDKs currently expose hybrid reranking through
+the generic `Reranker` interface (`rerankHybrid` / `rerank_hybrid`) and the built-in `RRFReranker`.
+In TypeScript, create the built-in RRF reranker with `await RRFReranker.create(k)`. To use a
+model-based reranker from TypeScript or Rust, you must implement the hybrid reranker interface
+yourself.
+</Note>
+
+
+### Multi-vector reranking {#multi-vector-reranking}
+Use `rerank_multivector()` to combine result sets from several vector queries.
+The example below assumes `table` has three vector columns with embedding
+metadata and uses a cross encoder to rerank their candidates.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+from lancedb.rerankers import CrossEncoderReranker
+
+reranker = CrossEncoderReranker()
+
+query = "hello"
+
+# `deduplicate=True` requires `_rowid` on every input result set,
+# so call `.with_row_id(True)` on each search before passing it in.
+res1 = table.search(query, vector_column_name="vector").limit(3).with_row_id(True)
+res2 = table.search(query, vector_column_name="text_vector").limit(3).with_row_id(True)
+res3 = table.search(query, vector_column_name="meta_vector").limit(3).with_row_id(True)
+
+reranked = reranker.rerank_multivector([res1, res2, res3], deduplicate=True)
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+- Passing `deduplicate=True` to `rerank_multivector(...)` raises a `ValueError` if any of the
+input result sets is missing the `_rowid` column. Therefore, it's recommended to add `.with_row_id(True)` to every
+`table.search(...)` call before reranking, or omit `deduplicate=True` if you don't need it.
+- `RRFReranker.rerank_multivector(...)` always requires `_rowid` on its inputs, regardless of
+the `deduplicate` flag.
+
+## Implement a custom ranking policy {#creating-custom-rerankers}
+
+Python custom rerankers implement `rerank_hybrid()` and can optionally implement
+`rerank_vector()` and `rerank_fts()`. TypeScript and Rust expose hybrid reranking
+interfaces. See [the interface requirements](#custom) before implementing one.
+
+## Algorithm options
+
+The following sections describe the Python constructor options and examples.
+Provider and local-model examples require their additional packages and model
+or credential setup. They are separate programs, not steps to concatenate.
+
+## Reciprocal rank fusion {#rrf}
+
+<Accordion title="RRF options and examples">
+
+
+<span id="reciprocal-rank-fusion-reranker"></span>
+
+**Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF)** is a model-free way to merge several ranked result lists into a
+single ordering. Rather than comparing raw similarity scores (which aren't directly comparable
+across, say, a vector search and a full-text search), RRF looks only at each document's *rank
+position* in each list. It scores every document with the formula `1 / (rank + K)`, sums those
+contributions across the lists, and re-sorts by the total. Documents that rank highly in more than
+one search rise to the top. Because there's no model to load or call, it's fast and cheap, which is
+why it's the default reranker for LanceDB hybrid search. The implementation follows the
+[Cormack et al. paper](https://plg.uwaterloo.ca/~gvcormac/cormacksigir09-rrf.pdf).
+
+> **Supported query types:** hybrid search and [multi-vector reranking](/reranking#multi-vector-reranking).
+> Because RRF fuses two or more ranked lists, it can't rerank a single vector or full-text result set
+> on its own. Calling `rerank_vector` or `rerank_fts` on an `RRFReranker` raises `NotImplementedError`.

+
+### Python arguments {#rrf-accepted-arguments}
+| Argument | Type | Default | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `K` | `int` | `60` | A constant used in the RRF formula (default is 60). Larger values reduce the difference in contribution between nearby rank positions. |
+| `return_score` | `str` | `"relevance"` | Options are "relevance" or "all". The type of score to return. If "relevance", will return only the `_relevance_score`. If "all", will return all scores from the vector and FTS search along with the relevance score. |
+
+`K` must be greater than `0`. In TypeScript, construct the built-in reranker with
+`await RRFReranker.create(k)` before passing it to `.rerank(...)`.
+
+### Multi-vector reranking {#rrf-multi-vector-reranking}
+
+`RRFReranker` can also fuse the results of several vector searches with `rerank_multivector`, applying
+the same rank-fusion algorithm across more than two lists. Every input result set must include the
+`_rowid` column, so add `.with_row_id(True)` to each `table.search(...)` call before reranking,
+otherwise the call raises a `ValueError`. See [multi-vector reranking](/reranking#multi-vector-reranking)
+for a full example.
+
+### Supported Scores for each query type {#rrf-supported-scores-for-each-query-type}
+You can specify the type of scores you want the reranker to return. The following are the supported scores for each query type:
+
+#### Hybrid Search {#rrf-hybrid-search}

+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `relevance` | ✅ Supported | Keeps `_relevance_score` as the score column alongside the selected data columns. |

+
+The Linear Combination Reranker combines the results of semantic and full-text search using a linear combination of the scores. The weights for the linear combination can be specified, and defaults to 0.7, i.e, 70% weight for semantic search and 30% weight for full-text search.

+
+### Python arguments {#linear-combination-accepted-arguments}
+| Argument | Type | Default | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `weight` | `float` | `0.7` | The weight to use for the semantic search score. The weight for the full-text search score is `1 - weight`. |
+| `fill` | `float` | `1.0` | Score used when a result is missing from one side of the hybrid query. The default strongly penalizes missing vector or FTS matches. |
+| `return_score` | `str` | `"relevance"` | Options are "relevance" or "all". The type of score to return. If "relevance", returns only `_relevance_score`. If "all", returns all scores from the vector and FTS search along with the relevance score. |
+
+`weight` must be between `0` and `1`. If either the vector or FTS side returns no rows, the reranker
+returns the non-empty side with `_relevance_score` attached rather than failing.

+full-text search results. Beyond that, you can optionally implement `rerank_vector()` and
+`rerank_fts()` if you want your reranker to also handle pure vector or pure full-text searches.
+
+Implement the hooks your query paths call. The base class raises
+`NotImplementedError` for vector-only or FTS-only reranking unless you
+implement those methods.
+
+The Python base class exposes hybrid, vector-only, and FTS-only rerank hooks. TypeScript and Rust
+currently expose the custom reranker interface for hybrid reranking. In Rust, a custom reranker must
+also satisfy the trait bounds `Debug + Send + Sync`.
+
+### Interface {#custom-interface}
+
+The `Reranker` base interface comes with a `merge_results()` method that can be used to combine the
+results of semantic and full-text search. This is a vanilla merging algorithm that simply concatenates
+the results and removes the duplicates without taking the scores into consideration. It only keeps the
+first copy of the row encountered. This works well in cases that don't require the scores of semantic
+and full-text search to combine the results. If you want to use the scores or want to support
+`return_score="all"`, you'll need to implement your own merging algorithm. The base
+`return_score` option accepts only `"relevance"` and `"all"`.
+
+Whichever methods you override, your reranker has one job on the way out: attach a
+`_relevance_score` column with the most relevant rows at the top. LanceDB will reject the result
+if that column is missing, and downstream `.limit(...)` calls trust the order you return, so
+sort descending before handing the table back.
+
+For vector-only reranking in Python, pass a text query to `.rerank(..., query_string="...")`.
+The vector query itself may be numeric, but `rerank_vector(query, vector_results)` still receives
+a string query so your reranker can score each candidate against the user's text intent.
+
+The method contract is:
+
+| Method | Input | Required output |
+|:-------|:------|:----------------|
+| `rerank_hybrid` | Query text, vector results and FTS results | A merged Arrow table ordered by descending `_relevance_score` |
+| `rerank_vector` | Query text and vector results | An Arrow table ordered by descending `_relevance_score` |
+| `rerank_fts` | Query text and FTS results | An Arrow table ordered by descending `_relevance_score` |
+
+Implement only the single-search hooks your application uses. The base class
+raises `NotImplementedError` for those hooks until they are implemented.
+
+### Extend an existing reranker {#custom-example}
+
+This class definition extends `CohereReranker` to exclude text patterns after
+reranking. It requires the Cohere package and credentials when instantiated.
+It can return fewer results because exclusions happen after retrieval; use a
+query predicate instead when a metadata filter expresses the same restriction.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+from typing import List, Union
+import pyarrow as pa
+from lancedb.rerankers import CohereReranker
+
+class ModifiedCohereReranker(CohereReranker):
+    def __init__(self, filters: Union[str, List[str]], **kwargs):
+        super().__init__(**kwargs)
+        filters = filters if isinstance(filters, list) else [filters]
+        self.filters = filters
+
+    def rerank_hybrid(self, query: str, vector_results: pa.Table, fts_results: pa.Table)-> pa.Table:
+        combined_result = super().rerank_hybrid(query, vector_results, fts_results)
+        df = combined_result.to_pandas()
+        for filter in self.filters:
+            df = df.query("not text.str.contains(@filter)")
+
+        return pa.Table.from_pandas(df)
+
+    def rerank_vector(self, query: str, vector_results: pa.Table)-> pa.Table:
+        vector_results = super().rerank_vector(query, vector_results)
+        df = vector_results.to_pandas()
+        for filter in self.filters:
+            df = df.query("not text.str.contains(@filter)")
+
+        return pa.Table.from_pandas(df)
+
+    def rerank_fts(self, query: str, fts_results: pa.Table)-> pa.Table:
+        fts_results = super().rerank_fts(query, fts_results)
+        df = fts_results.to_pandas()
+        for filter in self.filters:
+            df = df.query("not text.str.contains(@filter)")
+
+        return pa.Table.from_pandas(df)
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+The reranker receives and returns PyArrow tables. Use `to_pandas()` for a
+DataFrame transformation and `pa.Table.from_pandas()` to convert the result
+back, preserving `_relevance_score` and the desired row order.
+
+
+## Evaluate relevance, latency and cost {#eval}
+
+Compare rerankers on the same candidate inputs so you can distinguish ranking
+changes from retrieval changes. For hybrid retrieval, prepare the text index
+and query vectors before collecting those candidates.
+
+### Reranking strategies {#eval-reranking-strategies}
+
+Compare these approaches:
+
+- **Rank fusion:** RRF and MRR combine rank positions from multiple result lists.
+- **Score blending:** linear combination mixes normalized vector and text scores.
+- **Model-based reranking:** a model scores each query-document pair.
+
+Hybrid search uses RRF by default. You do not need to call `rerank()` to select
+it. Pass a reranker when you want a different algorithm or configuration.
+
+By default, rerankers return `_relevance_score`. Pass `return_score="all"` when a reranker
+supports it, and you also need the original vector or FTS scores for debugging.
+Evaluation code can rely on returned rows being ordered by descending `_relevance_score`. Empty
+reranked result sets still include the `_relevance_score` column.
+
+The synchronous Python hybrid `rerank(...)` method also accepts a `normalize` argument that controls how the raw
+vector and FTS scores are made comparable before reranking:
+
+- `normalize="score"` (the default); normalizes the raw vector and FTS scores directly.
+- `normalize="rank"`; converts each result list to ranks first, then normalizes.
+
+Normalization matters for algorithms that use raw scores, such as linear
+combination. RRF uses rank positions instead. Compare normalization settings
+only when the chosen reranker uses those scores.
+
+For score-based evaluation, the main built-in knobs are:
+
+- `RRFReranker(K=60)`: rank fusion with a positive smoothing constant.
+- `MRRReranker(weight_vector=0.5, weight_fts=0.5)`: weighted reciprocal rank fusion where the weights must sum to `1.0`.
+- `LinearCombinationReranker(weight=0.7, fill=1.0)`: blends vector and FTS scores directly; `fill` controls how strongly to penalize a result missing from one side.
+
+A result on one dataset does not establish which reranker will work best on
+another. Include representative queries and measure both retrieval quality
+and ranking quality.
+
+### Historical evaluation example {#eval-example-evaluation}
+
+The tables below preserve an earlier experiment comparing multiple rerankers on
+~800 hybrid search queries. This is a modified version of an evaluation script by
+[LlamaIndex](https://github.com/run-llama/finetune-embedding/blob/main/evaluate.ipynb) that measures
+hit-rate \@ top-k. The recorded results do not establish performance for
+current models, SDK releases or your dataset; treat them as an example of an
+evaluation format.

+
+### Compare results on your workload {#eval-conclusion}
+
+Build a set of representative queries with known relevant records. Compare
+retrieval alone with each reranker using the same candidate inputs and result
+limit. Record a relevance metric such as recall or nDCG alongside latency and
+provider cost. Include queries with no useful matches and queries containing
+exact names or identifiers.
+
+If the relevant records never reach the reranker, adjust retrieval first.
+Then change one ranking setting at a time and retain the configuration that
+meets your application's quality and latency requirements.

+
+This tiny table demonstrates the API, not a performance benchmark. The plan
+uses a scan because the example has no vector index. The following larger
+example illustrates how to read scans, filters and index operations.
+
+</Accordion>
+
+## Read scans, filters and result retrieval {#reading-the-execution-plan}
+
+The recorded example below uses 1.2 million rows sampled from the
+[Wikipedia dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/wikimedia/wikipedia).
+The counts describe that run. The table initially has no indexes, so the plan
+shows a scan. This Enterprise plan includes `RemoteTake` and hides storage paths
+as `uri=***`. A local plan shows the dataset path instead, and fetches the result
+rows with Lance's `Take` or, depending on the library version, a second
+`LanceRead` whose `source` is `stream(_rowid)`.
+
+Let's examine a vector search query that:
+
+- Filters rows where `identifier` is between 0 and 1,000,000
+- Returns the top 100 matches
+- Projects specific columns: `chunk_index`, `title`, and `identifier`
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+# explain_plan
+query_explain_plan = (
+    table.search(query_embed)
+    .where("identifier > 0 AND identifier < 1000000")
+    .select(["chunk_index", "title", "identifier"])
+    .limit(100)
+    .explain_plan(True)
+)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+// explain_plan
+const explainPlan = await table
+    .search(queryEmbed)
+    .where("identifier > 0 AND identifier < 1000000")
+    .select(["chunk_index", "title", "identifier"])
+    .limit(100)
+    .explainPlan(true);
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Execution Plan Components {#execution-plan-components}
+
+<Accordion title="Read the recorded vector plan operator by operator">
+
+
+The execution plan reveals the sequence of operations performed to execute your query. Let's examine each component:
+
+```
+ProjectionExec: expr=[chunk_index@4 as chunk_index, title@5 as title, identifier@1 as identifier, _distance@3 as _distance]
+  RemoteTake: columns="vector, identifier, _rowid, _distance, chunk_index, title"
+    CoalesceBatchesExec: target_batch_size=1024
+      GlobalLimitExec: skip=0, fetch=100
+        FilterExec: _distance@3 IS NOT NULL
+          SortExec: TopK(fetch=100), expr=[_distance@3 ASC NULLS LAST], preserve_partitioning=[false]
+            KNNVectorDistance: metric=l2
+              FilterExec: identifier@1 > 0 AND identifier@1 < 1000000
+                LanceScan: uri=***, projection=[vector, identifier], row_id=true, row_addr=false, ordered=false
+```
+
+#### 1\. Base Layer (LanceScan) {#1-base-layer-lancescan}
+
+- Initial data scan loading only specified columns to minimize I/O
+- Unordered scan enabling parallel processing
+
+```
+LanceScan: 
+- projection=[vector, identifier]
+- row_id=true, row_addr=false, ordered=false
+```
+
+#### 2\. First Filter {#2-first-filter}
+
+- Apply requested filter on `identifier` column
+- Reduces the number of vectors that need KNN computation
+
+```
+FilterExec: identifier@1 > 0 AND identifier@1 < 1000000
+```
+
+#### 3\. Vector Search {#3-vector-search}
+
+- Computes squared L2 distances between query vector and all vectors that passed the filter
+
+```
+KNNVectorDistance: metric=l2
+```
+
+#### 4\. Results Processing {#4-results-processing}
+
+- Filters out null distance results
+- Sorts by distance and takes top 100 results
+- Coalesces output into batches targeting 1,024 rows in this plan
+
+```
+SortExec: TopK(fetch=100)
+- expr=[_distance@3 ASC NULLS LAST]
+- preserve_partitioning=[false]
+FilterExec: _distance@3 IS NOT NULL
+GlobalLimitExec: skip=0, fetch=100
+CoalesceBatchesExec: target_batch_size=1024
+```
+
+#### 5\. Data Retrieval {#5-data-retrieval}
+
+- `RemoteTake` is the deployment's operator for this step; a local plan shows Lance's `Take` or a `LanceRead` over the selected row IDs, depending on the library version
+- Handles efficient data retrieval from remote storage locations
+- Fetches specific rows and columns needed for the final output
+- Optimizes network bandwidth by only retrieving required data
+
+```
+RemoteTake: columns="vector, identifier, _rowid, _distance, chunk_index, title"
+```
+
+#### 6\. Final Output {#6-final-output}
+
+- Returns only requested columns and maintains column ordering
+
+```text
+ProjectionExec: expr=[chunk_index@4 as chunk_index, title@5 as title, identifier@1 as identifier, _distance@3 as _distance]
+```
+
+This plan demonstrates a basic search without index optimizations: it performs a full scan and filter before vector search.
+
+
+</Accordion>
+
+## Non-vector queries {#analyzing-non-vector-queries}
+
+Query plans also cover filters and full-text search. Python can show both
+sub-plans of a hybrid query. Check where a filter runs and how many rows flow
+through each operator; a separate `FilterExec` does not by itself establish
+that the plan is inefficient or that an index is missing.
+
+### FTS queries {#fts-queries}
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+plan = (
+    table.search("puppy", query_type="fts")
+    .where("category = 'animals'", prefilter=True)
+    .limit(10)
+    .explain_plan(True)
+)
+print(plan)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+const plan = await table
+    .query()
+    .fullTextSearch("puppy")
+    .where("category = 'animals'")
+    .limit(10)
+    .explainPlan(true);
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Look for the text-index operation and any scan of unindexed rows. A scan can
+be needed to include records written after the index was built. Use index
+coverage and execution measurements to determine whether that extra work
+matters. Check filter placement separately from text-index use.
+
+### Hybrid queries {#hybrid-queries}
+
+For hybrid queries, `explain_plan` returns the reranker label followed by the vector and FTS sub-plans, indented for readability:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+plan = (
+    table.search("flower moon", query_type="hybrid")
+    .where("category = 'film'", prefilter=True)
+    .limit(10)
+    .explain_plan(True)
+)
+print(plan)
+# RRFReranker(...)
+#   <vector sub-plan>
+#   <FTS sub-plan>
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+`analyze_plan` executes both sub-queries and labels them `Vector Search Plan:`
+and `FTS Search Plan:`. Compare their filter placement and execution measurements.
+
+`analyze_plan` executes the query and returns the physical plan annotated with
+runtime metrics such as elapsed time, rows produced, bytes read and index comparisons.
+Where [`explain_plan`](#inspect-a-query-plan) tells you what a query intends to do,
+analysis shows the work performed.
+
+<Note>
+The SQL equivalent is [`EXPLAIN ANALYZE`](/sql/dql/explain).
+</Note>
+
+## Read execution measurements {#analyze-a-query-plan}
+
+Executes the query and provides detailed runtime metrics, including:
+
+- Operation duration (`_elapsed_compute_`)
+- Data processing statistics (`_output_rows_`, `_bytes_read_`)
+- Index effectiveness (`_index_comparisons_`, `_indices_loaded_`)
+- Resource utilization (`_iops_`, `_requests_`)
+
+## Measure the example query {#performance-analysis}
+
+Let's use `analyze_plan` to run the query and analyze the query performance, which will help us identify potential bottlenecks:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+# analyze_plan
+query_analyze_plan = (
+    table.search(query_embed)
+    .where("identifier > 0 AND identifier < 1000000")
+    .select(["chunk_index", "title", "identifier"])
+    .limit(100)
+    .analyze_plan()
+)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+// analyze_plan
+const analyzePlan = await table
+    .search(queryEmbed)
+    .where("identifier > 0 AND identifier < 1000000")

+
+### Distributed metrics on remote tables {#distributed-metrics-on-remote-tables}
+
+<Badge color="red">Enterprise</Badge>
+
+When you call `analyze_plan` against a LanceDB Enterprise deployment that distributes its queries across a pool of workers, the query runs on those workers. By default the returned plan aggregates each operator's metrics into a single value, matching the local single-node output. Pass a `distributed_metrics` mode when you need to see how work was split across workers:
+
+| Mode          | What it shows                                                                       | When to use it                                                                                          |
+| :------------ | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `aggregate`   | One summary value per operator (default). Same shape as local `analyze_plan`.       | Everyday performance checks and comparisons against a local plan.                                       |
+| `per_worker`  | Metrics reported separately for each worker that participated in the query.         | Diagnosing stragglers or uneven work distribution across the cluster.                                   |
+| `full`        | Both the aggregate summary and the per-worker breakdown.                            | Deep investigations where you need the totals *and* the per-worker detail in a single output.           |
+
+Python exposes this option through `distributed_metrics`. In TypeScript, pass
+the same mode to `analyzePlan()` as its `distributedMetrics` argument. Local
+Python queries ignore the distributed mode and return local measurements.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"

+
+A filter restricts results to rows that satisfy a condition. Use it on its
+own to select records, or combine it with vector, full-text or hybrid search.
+For example, search for similar documents only within a particular category.
+
+<span id="search-within-matching-rows"></span>
+
+<Accordion title="Run a complete filtering example">
+
+These examples use three sample records and hand-written vectors, so no
+embedding service is needed. Each program creates a temporary local table
+and removes it when finished.
+
+- **Python:** Install with `pip install lancedb`, save as `filtered_search.py`, then run `python filtered_search.py`.
+- **TypeScript:** Install with `npm install @lancedb/lancedb`, save as `filtered_search.mts`, then run `node filtered_search.mts` with Node.js 22.18 or later.

+
+The query vector is closest to the gardening record, but the filter excludes
+that category. The results contain only the two animal records.
+
+</Accordion>
+
+## Prefiltering and postfiltering {#choose-when-the-filter-runs}
+
+- **Prefiltering**, the default, limits the rows eligible for retrieval before
+  search chooses its candidates.
+- **Postfiltering** removes nonmatching rows after candidates are selected.
+  It can return fewer than `limit` rows, including zero, even when matching
+  records exist elsewhere in the table.
+
+Both modes exclude rows that fail the predicate. They differ in which matching
+rows the search can find. On hybrid queries, the filter applies to both the
+vector and full-text searches.
+
+SDK filters use SQL expressions without requiring a SQL connection. For
+Enterprise SQL queries, see [SELECT](/sql/dql/select#filtering).
+
+## Filtering examples by language {#example-metadata-filtering}
+
+The following excerpts use a connected `db` handle. Create this sample table
+before running the queries beneath it; each query uses the same four records.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+data = [
+    {"vector": [3.1, 4.1], "item": "foo", "price": 10.0},
+    {"vector": [5.9, 26.5], "item": "bar", "price": 20.0},
+    {"vector": [10.2, 100.8], "item": "baz", "price": 30.0},
+    {"vector": [1.4, 9.5], "item": "fred", "price": 40.0},
+]
+table = db.create_table("metadata_filter_example", data=data, mode="overwrite")
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+const data = [
+  { vector: [3.1, 4.1], item: "foo", price: 10.0 },
+  { vector: [5.9, 26.5], item: "bar", price: 20.0 },
+  { vector: [10.2, 100.8], item: "baz", price: 30.0 },
+  { vector: [1.4, 9.5], item: "fred", price: 40.0 },
+];
+
+const tableName = "metadata_filter_example";
+const table = await db.createTable(tableName, data, {
+  mode: "overwrite",
+});
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+## Combine predicates {#chaining-where-clauses}
+
+Repeated filter calls combine predicates with logical `AND`. For example, `where("a > 0").where("b < 10")` is equivalent to `where("(a > 0) AND (b < 10)")`.
+
+Use a single expression for a fixed filter. Chain calls when your application
+builds the filter incrementally.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+# Both filters apply: item is in the list AND price is above 15.
+result = (
+    table.search([100, 102])
+    .where("item IN ('foo', 'bar', 'baz')")
+    .where("price > 15.0")
+    .limit(3)
+    .to_arrow()
+)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+// Both filters apply: item is in the list AND price is above 15.
+const result = await table
+  .search([100, 102])
+  .where("item IN ('foo', 'bar', 'baz')")
+  .where("price > 15.0")
+  .limit(3)
+  .toArray();
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Warning>
+In Python SDK versions before `0.34.0` and Rust/TypeScript SDK versions before `0.31.0`, a second `where(...)` or `only_if(...)` call replaced the first filter, so only the last predicate was applied. If your code needs to run on those older versions, write a single predicate with `AND` instead of chaining calls. When upgrading to the latest SDKs, review any existing chained filters and drop earlier calls you no longer want to apply.
+</Warning>
+
+### Filtering Without Vector Search {#filtering-without-vector-search}
+
+You can always filter your data without search. This is useful when you need to query based on metadata:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+filtered_no_search_result = (
+    table.search()
+    .where("(item IN ('foo', 'bar', 'baz')) AND (price > 15.0)")
+    .limit(3)
+    .to_arrow()
+)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+const filteredResult = await table
+  .query()
+  .where("(item IN ('foo', 'bar', 'baz')) AND (price > 15.0)")
+  .limit(3)
+  .toArray();
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Set `limit()` explicitly to control how many matching records your application
+receives.
+
+### Pre-Filtering with Vector Search {#pre-filtering-with-vector-search}
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+filtered_result = (
+    table.search([100, 102])
+    .where("(item IN ('foo', 'bar')) AND (price > 15.0)")
+    .limit(3)
+    .to_arrow()
+)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+const results = await table
+  .search([100, 102])
+  .where("(item IN ('foo', 'bar')) AND (price > 15.0)")
+  .limit(3)
+  .toArray();
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Post-Filtering with Vector Search {#post-filtering-with-vector-search}
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+post_filtered_result = (
+    table.search([100, 102])
+    .where("(item IN ('foo', 'bar')) AND (price > 15.0)", prefilter=False)
+    .limit(3)
+    .to_arrow()
+)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+const postFilteredResult = await table.vectorSearch([100, 102])
+  .where("(item IN ('foo', 'bar')) AND (price > 15.0)")
+  .postfilter()
+  .limit(3)
+  .toArray();
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Postfiltering can return fewer than the requested number of records because
+the predicate removes candidates after search.
+
+## Write SQL predicates {#filtering-with-sql}
+
+Pass a SQL expression as the filter string. These expressions also select rows
+for SDK update and delete operations; they are not standalone SQL statements.
+
+LanceDB supports a growing list of SQL expressions:
+
+| SQL Expression | Description |
+|:---------------|:-------------|
+| `>, >=, <, <=, =` | Comparison operators |
+| `AND`, `OR`, `NOT` | Logical operators |
+| `IS NULL`, `IS NOT NULL` | Null checks |
+| `IS TRUE`, `IS NOT TRUE`, `IS FALSE`, `IS NOT FALSE` | Boolean checks |
+| `IN` | Value matching from a set |
+| `LIKE`, `NOT LIKE` | Pattern matching |
+| `CAST` | Type conversion |
+| `regexp_match(column, pattern)` | Regular expression matching |
+| [DataFusion Functions](https://datafusion.apache.org/user-guide/sql/scalar_functions.html) | Additional SQL functions |
+
+### Simple SQL Filters {#simple-sql-filters}
+
+For example, the following filter string is acceptable:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+table.search([100, 102]).where(
+    "(item IN ('foo', 'baz')) AND (price > 20.0)"
+).to_arrow()
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+await table
+  .search([100, 102])
+  .where("(item IN ('foo', 'baz')) AND (price > 20.0)")
+  .toArray();
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Advanced SQL Filters {#advanced-sql-filters}
+
+If your column name contains special characters, upper-case characters, or is a [SQL Keyword](https://docs.rs/sqlparser/latest/sqlparser/keywords/index.html),
+you can use backtick (`` ` ``) to escape it. For nested fields, each segment of the
+path must be wrapped in backticks.
+
+```sql
+`CUBE` = 10 AND `UpperCaseName` = '3' AND `column name with space` IS NOT NULL
+AND `nested with space`.`inner with space` < 2
+```
+
+<Note>
+Periods separate nested fields. LanceDB does not allow a literal period in a
+top-level column name; backticks do not remove that restriction.
+</Note>
+
+### Dates, Timestamps, Decimals {#dates-timestamps-decimals}
+
+Literals for dates, timestamps, and decimals can be written by writing the string
+value after the type name. For example:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```sql SQL icon="SQL"
+date_col = date '2021-01-01'
+and timestamp_col = timestamp '2021-01-01 00:00:00'
+and decimal_col = decimal(8,3) '1.000'
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+For timestamp columns, the precision can be specified as a number in the type
+parameter. Microsecond precision (6) is the default.
+
+| SQL            | Time unit    |
+|:-------------- |:------------ |
+| `timestamp(0)` | Seconds      |
+| `timestamp(3)` | Milliseconds |
+| `timestamp(6)` | Microseconds |
+| `timestamp(9)` | Nanoseconds  |
+
+## Apache Arrow Mapping {#apache-arrow-mapping}
+
+LanceDB uses Arrow types for schemas and in-memory data. On disk, tables use
+the [Lance format](/basics/lance).
+The mapping from SQL types to Arrow types is:
+
+| SQL type                                                  | Arrow type         |
+|:--------------------------------------------------------- |:------------------ |
+| `boolean`                                                 | `Boolean`          |
+| `tinyint` / `tinyint unsigned`                            | `Int8` / `UInt8`   |
+| `smallint` / `smallint unsigned`                          | `Int16` / `UInt16` |
+| `int` or `integer` / `int unsigned` or `integer unsigned` | `Int32` / `UInt32` |
+| `bigint` / `bigint unsigned`                              | `Int64` / `UInt64` |
+| `float`                                                   | `Float32`          |
+| `double`                                                  | `Float64`          |
+| `decimal(precision, scale)`                               | `Decimal128`       |
+| `date`                                                    | `Date32`           |
+| `timestamp`                                               | `Timestamp`        |
+| `string`                                                  | `Utf8`             |
+| `binary`                                                  | `Binary`           |
+
+
+## Speed up frequently used filters {#best-practices}
+
+Consider a [scalar index](/indexing/scalar-index) on frequently filtered columns.
+Use the query plan to check whether a predicate uses that index. Functions or
+casts applied to a column can change which optimizations are available.
+For list columns, a label-list index supports membership filters such as
+`array_has_any` and `array_has_all`.
+
+## Understand missing matches {#limitations}
+
+A restrictive predicate can legitimately leave fewer rows than the requested
+limit. Approximate vector search can also miss qualifying neighbors, and
+postfiltering can discard candidates without retrieving replacements.
+
+For a recall comparison, run the same query and predicate while bypassing the
+vector index on a suitably sized test table. Then compare the indexed query's
+results and latency while changing probe or refinement settings. Increasing
+those settings does not guarantee a full result set. See
+[vector search](/search/vector-search) and [query plans](/search/explain).

+
+### Build the text index {#construct-fts-index}
+
+Create a full-text search index on your text column:
+
+For asynchronous Python index creation, use
+`await table.create_index("text", config=FTS())`. See [FTS index](/indexing/fts-index).
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+table.create_index("text", config=FTS())
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+await tbl.createIndex("text", {
+    config: lancedb.Index.fts(),
+});
+```
+
+```rust Rust icon="rust"
+tbl
+    .create_index(&["text"], Index::FTS(FtsIndexBuilder::default()))
+    .execute()
+    .await?;
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+OSS builds the index before the call returns. Enterprise builds it in the
+background. Wait for completion with Python’s `table.wait_for_index(["text_idx"])`
+or TypeScript’s `await tbl.waitForIndex(["text_idx"], 300)` before querying it.
+Use your actual index name if you chose a different one.
+
+### Run the query {#full-text-search}
+
+Perform full-text search and retrieve results:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+results = (
+    table.search("puppy", query_type="fts", fts_columns="text")
+    .limit(10)
+    .select(["text", "_score"])
+    .to_list()
+)
+# Returns the puppy record with its BM25 score.
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+const results = await tbl
+    .search("puppy", "fts")
+    .select(["text"])
+    .limit(10)
+    .toArray();
+```
+
+```rust Rust icon="Rust"
+let results = tbl
+    .query()
+    .full_text_search(FullTextSearchQuery::new("puppy".to_owned()))
+    .select(lancedb::query::Select::Columns(vec!["text".to_owned()]))
+    .limit(10)
+    .execute()
+    .await?;
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Specify the text column with `fts_columns="text"` in synchronous Python,
+especially when the table contains multiple text indexes.
+
+<Note>
+A string query can also invoke an embedding function when the table has
+embedding metadata. Use `query_type="fts"` in Python when you specifically
+want full-text search.
+</Note>
+
+If a table has more than one FTS index, specify the indexed text column in the query. In Python you can use `fts_columns` or the query builder's `nearest_to_text(..., columns=...)`; in TypeScript, use `query().nearestToText(..., columns)`. The newer Lance-native FTS does not accept legacy Tantivy-only index parameters.
+
+BM25 scores depend on the indexed corpus and its term statistics. Compare
+rankings on the dataset you will search; treat scores as relative relevance
+values rather than probabilities.
+
+### Keeping the index up to date {#keeping-the-index-up-to-date}
+
+In OSS, new rows can remain outside the FTS index until you optimize the table.
+Search includes those rows by scanning them, but that work can increase query
+latency. Call `optimize()` to update the index:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="python" icon="python">
+{PyFtsIncrementalIndex}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+await tbl.add([{ vector: [3.1, 4.1], text: "Frodo was a happy puppy" }]);
+await tbl.optimize();
+```
+
+```rust Rust icon="rust"
+tbl.add(new_data).execute().await?;
+tbl.optimize(OptimizeAction::All).await?;
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Choose an OSS maintenance schedule based on write volume and query latency.
+Inspect index coverage with `table.index_stats(...)` and optimize when the
+unindexed data adds too much work. `.fast_search()` skips unindexed rows, so
+use it only when omitting recent records is acceptable.
+
+Enterprise manages index updates automatically. You do not call `optimize()`
+on an Enterprise table.
+
+## Choose the matching behavior
+
+| You need | Use |
+|:---------|:----|
+| Words in any order | A terms query |
+| Words in a particular sequence | A [phrase query](#phrase-vs-terms-queries) and an index with token positions |
+| Tolerance for typing errors | [Fuzzy search](#fuzzy-search) |
+| Parts of words | An [n-gram index](#search-for-substring) |
+| Required, optional or excluded terms | [Boolean queries](#boolean-queries) |
+
+Use a metadata predicate to restrict qualifying records. See
+[filtering options](#filtering-options) for prefiltering and postfiltering.
+Enterprise SQL provides [`fts()`](/sql/functions#fts) for scored text retrieval.
+
+## Configure tokenization and matching {#advanced-usage}
+
+### Tokenize Table Data {#tokenize-table-data}
+
+The default tokenizer splits text at whitespace and punctuation, lowercases
+tokens and removes tokens longer than 40 characters. Stemming, stop-word
+removal and accent folding are also enabled by default.
+
+Stemming is useful for improving search results by reducing words to their root form, e.g. "running" to "run". LanceDB supports stemming for Arabic, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Tamil, and Turkish. You should set the `base_tokenizer` parameter rather than `tokenizer_name` because you cannot customize the tokenizer if `tokenizer_name` is specified.
+
+Tokenization and language filters are separate settings. `base_tokenizer` controls how text is split into searchable tokens. `language` controls stemming and stop-word removal when `stem=True` or `remove_stop_words=True`; choose the tokenizer for CJK or mixed-language segmentation.
+
+For example, to enable stemming for English:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+table.create_fts_index("text", language="English", replace=True)
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Configure tokenization when you create the index. Rebuild the index to change
+how existing text is tokenized.
+
+**Default index parameters:**
+- `base_tokenizer`: `"simple"`
+- `language`: English
+- `with_position`: false
+- `max_token_length`: 40
+- `lower_case`: true
+- `stem`: true
+- `remove_stop_words`: true
+- `ascii_folding`: true
+- `custom_stop_words`: `None`; pass a `list[str]` to drop additional words beyond the language defaults. Requires `remove_stop_words=True`.
+
+For multilingual use cases, use `base_tokenizer="icu"` for unicode-aware word segmentation on mixed-language text. ICU stands for [International Components for Unicode](https://icu.unicode.org/). The ICU tokenizer uses bundled ICU4X segmenter data, so it does not require external tokenizer model files. It is a good default when documents mix languages or include scripts where the simple tokenizer would keep an unspaced span as one large token.
+
+The Python API also supports tokenizer implementations that load language model files. Use `base_tokenizer="jieba/default"` for Jieba tokenization, which segments Chinese text into searchable word tokens when the text is written without spaces between words. Use Lindera-backed tokenizers for dictionary-based East Asian morphological segmentation, such as `base_tokenizer="lindera/ipadic"` for Japanese or `base_tokenizer="lindera/ko-dic"` for Korean when you have installed and compiled that Lindera model. These are language-specific tokenizers; ICU is the broader mixed-language option.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+table.create_fts_index(
+    "text",
+    base_tokenizer="jieba/default",
+    stem=False,
+    remove_stop_words=False,
+    ascii_folding=False,
+    replace=True,
+)
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Model-backed tokenizers require tokenizer model files in Lance's language model home. Lance looks under the default platform data directory for `lance/language_models`, or you can set `LANCE_LANGUAGE_MODEL_HOME` to point to a different model root:
+
+```bash
+export LANCE_LANGUAGE_MODEL_HOME=/path/to/lance/language_models
+```
+
+For example, `jieba/default` is resolved under `<model-home>/jieba/default/...`, `lindera/ipadic` under `<model-home>/lindera/ipadic/...`, and `lindera/ko-dic` under `<model-home>/lindera/ko-dic/...`.
+
+Model files must be installed where indexing and queries run: on your machine
+for OSS, or on the Enterprise cluster for a remote table.
+
+<Note>
+Built-in stop-word removal supports Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish. If you use another stemming language, such as Arabic, Greek, Romanian, Tamil, or Turkish, set `remove_stop_words=False` or pass `custom_stop_words`.
+</Note>
+
+Use `ascii_folding=True` to match accented and unaccented forms, such as
+“é” and “e”:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+table.create_fts_index(
+        "text",
+        language="French",
+        stem=True,
+        ascii_folding=True,
+        replace=True,
+    )
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Filtering Options {#filtering-options}
+
+Use `where(...)` to restrict text results to rows that match a predicate.
+Prefiltering applies the restriction before retrieval; postfiltering removes
+nonmatching candidates afterward and can leave fewer results.
+ 
+With pre-filtering:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="python" icon="python">
+{PyFtsPrefiltering}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+await tbl

+.select(["id", "doc"])
+.limit(10)
+.where("meta='foo'")
+.prefilter(true)
+.toArray();
+```
+
+```rust Rust icon="Rust"

+    .limit(10)
+    .only_if("meta='foo'")
+    .execute()
+    .await?;
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+With post-filtering:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="python" icon="python">
+{PyFtsPostfiltering}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"

+    .query()
+    .full_text_search(FullTextSearchQuery::new(words[0].to_owned()))
+    .select(lancedb::query::Select::Columns(vec!["doc".to_owned()]))
+    .postfilter()
+    .limit(10)
+    .only_if("meta='foo'")
+    .execute()
+    .await?;
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Phrase vs. Terms Queries {#phrase-vs-terms-queries}
+
+<Warning>
+Lance-based FTS doesn't support queries using boolean operators `OR`, `AND` in the search string.
+</Warning>
+
+For full-text search you can specify either a **phrase** query like `"the old man and the sea"`,
+or a **terms** search query like `old man sea`. 
+
+Enable token positions to search for phrases. Set `remove_stop_words=False` if you also need to match common words such as “the” and “and”:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+from lancedb.index import FTS
+
+table.create_index("text", config=FTS(with_position=True, remove_stop_words=False), replace=True)
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Storing token positions increases the index size and adds indexing work.
+
+### Fuzzy Search {#fuzzy-search}
+
+Fuzzy search allows you to find matches even when the search terms contain typos or slight variations. 
+LanceDB uses the classic [Levenshtein distance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance) 
+to find similar terms within a specified edit distance.
+
+| Parameter      | Type | Default | Description                                                                                                                                                 |
+| -------------- | ---- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| fuzziness      | int  | 0       | Maximum edit distance allowed for each term. The default, `0`, requires an exact match; set `1` or `2` to allow typos. |
+| max_expansions | int  | 50      | Maximum number of terms to consider for fuzzy matching. Higher values may improve recall but increase search time                                           |
+
+For a complete walkthrough that creates a sample table and demonstrates fuzzy search and relevance boosting, see [the worked example below](#fuzzy-search-and-boosting-example).
+
+### Search for Substring {#search-for-substring}
+
+LanceDB supports searching for substrings in the text column, you can set the `base_tokenizer` parameter to `"ngram"` to enable this feature, and use the parameters `ngram_min_length` and `ngram_max_length` to control the length of the substrings:
+
+| Parameter        | Type | Default | Description                                        |
+| ---------------- | ---- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
+| ngram_min_length | int  | 3       | Minimum length of the n-grams to search for        |
+| ngram_max_length | int  | 3       | Maximum length of the n-grams to search for        |
+| prefix_only      | bool | false   | Whether to only search for prefixes of the n-grams |
+
+
+## Fuzzy Search and Boosting Example {#fuzzy-search-and-boosting-example}
+
+<Accordion title="Worked examples: fuzzy, phrase, boosted and Boolean queries">
+
+
+### Generate Data {#generate-data}
+
+Run the following steps in order. They use a temporary local database with four records, so the same data is available for each query.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+from tempfile import TemporaryDirectory
+
+import lancedb
+import pandas as pd
+from lancedb.index import FTS

+
+directory = TemporaryDirectory()
+db = lancedb.connect(directory.name)
+table_name = "fts_examples"
+text = ["puppy runs merrily", "car drives crazily", "puppy jumps crazily", "car runs slowly"]
+text2 = ["rabbit jumps crazily", "girl runs merrily", "monkey jumps slowly", "rabbit runs merrily"]
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+import * as lancedb from "@lancedb/lancedb";
+import { Index, MatchQuery, PhraseQuery, BoostQuery, MultiMatchQuery, BooleanQuery, Occur } from "@lancedb/lancedb";
+import { mkdtemp, rm } from "node:fs/promises";
+import { tmpdir } from "node:os";
+import { join } from "node:path";
+
+const directory = await mkdtemp(join(tmpdir(), "lancedb-fts-"));
+const db = await lancedb.connect(directory);
+const tableName = "fts_examples";
+const text = ["puppy runs merrily", "car drives crazily", "puppy jumps crazily", "car runs slowly"];
+const text2 = ["rabbit jumps crazily", "girl runs merrily", "monkey jumps slowly", "rabbit runs merrily"];
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Create Table {#create-table}
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+# Create table with sample data
+table = db.create_table(
+    table_name,
+    data=pd.DataFrame({
+        "id": range(len(text)),
+        "text": text,
+        "text2": text2,
+    }),
+    mode="overwrite"
+)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+// Create table with sample data
+const data = text.map((value, i) => ({ id: i, text: value, text2: text2[i] }));
+
+const table = await db.createTable(tableName, data, { mode: "overwrite" });
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Construct the index for these examples {#example-construct-fts-index}
+
+Create a full-text search index on the first text column:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+# Create FTS index on first text column
+table.create_index("text", config=FTS(with_position=True, remove_stop_words=False))
+table.wait_for_index(["text_idx"])
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+// Create FTS index on first text column
+await table.createIndex("text", { config: Index.fts({ withPosition: true, removeStopWords: false }) });
+await table.waitForIndex(["text_idx"], 300);
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Then, create an index on the second text column:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+# Create FTS index on second text column
+table.create_index("text2", config=FTS(with_position=True, remove_stop_words=False))
+table.wait_for_index(["text2_idx"])
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+// Create FTS index on second text column
+await table.createIndex("text2", { config: Index.fts({ withPosition: true, removeStopWords: false }) });
+await table.waitForIndex(["text2_idx"], 300);
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Basic and Fuzzy Search {#basic-and-fuzzy-search}
+
+Now we can perform basic, fuzzy, and prefix match searches:
+
+#### Basic Exact Search {#basic-exact-search}
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+from lancedb.query import MatchQuery
+
+# Basic match (exact search)
+basic_match_results = (
+    table.search(MatchQuery("crazily", "text"))
+    .select(["id", "text", "_score"])
+    .limit(100)
+    .to_arrow().to_pandas()
+)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+// Basic match (exact search)
+const basicMatchResults = await table.query()
+    .fullTextSearch(new MatchQuery("crazily", "text"))
+    .select(["id", "text", "_score"])
+    .limit(100)
+    .toArray();
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+#### Fuzzy Search with Typos {#fuzzy-search-with-typos}
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+# Fuzzy match (allows typos)
+fuzzy_results = (
+    table.search(MatchQuery("craziou", "text", fuzziness=2))
+    .select(["id", "text", "_score"])
+    .limit(100)
+    .to_arrow().to_pandas()
+)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+// Fuzzy match (allows typos)
+const fuzzyResults = await table.query()
+    .fullTextSearch(new MatchQuery("craziou", "text", {
+        fuzziness: 2,
+    }))
+    .select(["id", "text", "_score"])
+    .limit(100)
+    .toArray();
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+#### Require an exact prefix in fuzzy matching {#prefix-based-match}
+
+`prefix_length` keeps the first characters unchanged when matching a misspelled term. It does not turn a short query into a prefix-completion search.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+# Fuzzy match (allows typos)
+prefix_results = (
+    table.search(MatchQuery("craziou", "text", fuzziness=2, prefix_length=3))
+    .select(["id", "text", "_score"])
+    .limit(100)
+    .to_arrow().to_pandas()
+)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+// Fuzzy match (allows typos)
+const prefixResults = await table.query()
+    .fullTextSearch(new MatchQuery("craziou", "text", {
+        fuzziness: 2,
+        prefixLength: 3,
+    }))
+    .select(["id", "text", "_score"])
+    .limit(100)
+    .toArray();
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Phrase Match {#phrase-match}
+
+Phrase matching enables you to search for exact sequences of words. Unlike regular text search 
+which matches individual terms independently, phrase matching requires words to appear in the 
+specified order with no intervening terms. 
+
+<Note>
+Phrase queries are supported but only for a single column; providing multiple columns with a quoted phrase raises an error.
+</Note>
+
+Phrase matching is particularly useful for:
+
+- Searching for specific multi-word expressions
+- Matching exact titles or quotes  
+- Finding precise word combinations in a specific order
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+# Exact phrase match
+from lancedb.query import PhraseQuery
+
+phrase_results = (
+    table.search(PhraseQuery("puppy runs", "text"))
+    .select(["id", "text", "_score"])
+    .limit(100)
+    .to_arrow().to_pandas()
+)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+// Exact phrase match
+const phraseResults = await table.query()
+  .fullTextSearch(new PhraseQuery("puppy runs", "text"))
+  .select(["id", "text", "_score"])
+  .limit(100)
+  .toArray();
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+#### Flexible Phrase Match {#flexible-phrase-match}
+To provide more flexible phrase matching, LanceDB supports the `slop` parameter. This allows you to match phrases where the terms appear close to each other, with gaps between them. The `slop` value limits the extra positions allowed in the phrase.
+
+For example, the phrase query "puppy merrily" would not return any results by default. However, if you set `slop=1`, it will match phrases like "puppy jumps merrily", "puppy runs merrily", and similar variations where one word appears between "puppy" and "merrily".
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+# Flexible phrase match with slop=1 for 'puppy merrily'
+from lancedb.query import PhraseQuery
+
+slop_results = (
+    table.search(PhraseQuery("puppy merrily", "text", slop=1))
+    .select(["id", "text", "_score"])
+    .limit(100)
+    .to_arrow().to_pandas()
+)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+// Flexible phrase match with slop=1 for 'puppy merrily'
+const slopResults = await table.query()
+  .fullTextSearch(new PhraseQuery("puppy merrily", "text", { slop: 1 }))
+  .select(["id", "text", "_score"])
+  .limit(100)
+  .toArray();
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Search with Boosting {#search-with-boosting}
+
+Boosting allows you to control the relative importance of different search terms or fields 
+in your queries. This feature is particularly useful when you need to:
+
+* Prioritize matches in certain columns
+* Promote specific terms while demoting others 
+* Fine-tune relevance scoring for better search results
+
+| Parameter      | Type  | Default  | Description                                                        |
+| -------------- | ----- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| positive       | Query | required | The primary query terms to match and promote in results            |
+| negative       | Query | required | Terms to demote in the search results                              |
+| negative_boost | float | 0.5      | Multiplier for negative matches (lower values = stronger demotion) |
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+from lancedb.query import MatchQuery, BoostQuery, MultiMatchQuery
+
+# Boost data with 'runs' in text more than 'puppy' in text
+boosting_results = (
+  table.search(
+      BoostQuery(
+          MatchQuery("runs", "text"),
+          MatchQuery("puppy", "text"),
+          negative_boost=0.2,
+      ),
+  )
+  .select(["id", "text", "_score"])
+  .limit(100)
+  .to_arrow().to_pandas()
+)
+
+# Search across both text and text2
+multi_match_results = (
+    table.search(MultiMatchQuery("crazily", ["text", "text2"]))
+    .select(["id", "text", "text2", "_score"])
+    .limit(100)
+    .to_arrow().to_pandas()
+)
+
+# Search with field boosting

+
+### Boolean Queries {#boolean-queries}
+LanceDB supports boolean logic in full-text search, allowing you to combine multiple queries using `and` and `or` operators. This is useful when you want to match documents that satisfy multiple conditions (intersection) or at least one of several conditions (union).
+
+#### Combining Two Match Queries {#combining-two-match-queries}
+
+In Python, combine two `MatchQuery` objects with `&` for intersection or `|` for union. Python's `and` and `or` operators return one operand and do not construct a boolean query.
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+{PyFtsBooleanQueries}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+In TypeScript, pass `[Occur, subquery]` pairs to `BooleanQuery`. Use `Must` for required matches, `Should` for alternatives, and `MustNot` to exclude matches.
+
+<Info>
+**Which queries are allowed?**
+
+A boolean query must include at least one `SHOULD` or `MUST` clause. Queries that contain only a `MUST_NOT` clause are not allowed.
+</Info>
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+from lancedb.query import MatchQuery
+
+# Example: Find documents containing both "puppy" and "merrily"
+and_query = MatchQuery("puppy", "text") & MatchQuery("merrily", "text")
+and_results = (
+    table.search(and_query)
+    .select(["id", "text", "_score"])
+    .limit(100)
+    .to_arrow().to_pandas()
+)
+
+# Example: Find documents containing either "puppy" or "merrily"
+or_query = MatchQuery("puppy", "text") | MatchQuery("merrily", "text")
+or_results = (
+    table.search(or_query)
+    .select(["id", "text", "_score"])
+    .limit(100)
+    .to_arrow().to_pandas()
+)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js" expandable=true
+// Flexible boolean queries with MatchQuery
+
+// Find documents containing both "puppy" and "merrily"
+const mustResults = await table
+    .search(
+      new BooleanQuery([
+        [Occur.Must, new MatchQuery("puppy", "text")],
+        [Occur.Must, new MatchQuery("merrily", "text")],
+      ]),
+    )
+    .select(["id", "text", "_score"])
+    .limit(100)
+    .toArray();
+
+// Find documents containing either "puppy" or "merrily"
+const shouldResults = await table
+    .search(
+      new BooleanQuery([
+        [Occur.Should, new MatchQuery("puppy", "text")],
+        [Occur.Should, new MatchQuery("merrily", "text")],
+      ]),
+    )
+    .select(["id", "text", "_score"])
+    .limit(100)
+    .toArray();
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Info>
+**How to use booleans?**
+
+- Use `&` (Python), `Occur.Must`(Typescript) for intersection (documents must match all queries).
+- Use `|` (Python), `Occur.Should`(Typescript) for union (documents must match at least one query).
+</Info>
+
+
+### Clean up the example
+
+Remove the temporary database when you have finished running the queries.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+directory.cleanup()
+```
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+table.close();

+
+## Substring Search Example {#substring-search-example}
+
+<Accordion title="Worked examples: substring search">
+
+
+LanceDB supports searching for substrings in text columns using n-gram tokenization. This is useful for finding partial matches within text content.
+
+### Setting Up the Table {#setting-up-the-table}
+
+First, create a table with sample text data and configure n-gram tokenization:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+import pyarrow as pa
+import lancedb
+
+from tempfile import TemporaryDirectory
+from lancedb.index import FTS
+
+directory = TemporaryDirectory()
+db = lancedb.connect(directory.name)
+
+data = pa.table({"text": ["hello world", "lance database", "lance is cool"]})
+table = db.create_table("test", data=data)
+table.create_index("text", config=FTS(base_tokenizer="ngram"))
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Basic Substring Search {#basic-substring-search}
+
+With the default n-gram settings (minimum length of 3), you can search for substrings of length 3 or more:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+results = table.search("lan", query_type="fts").limit(10).to_list()
+assert len(results) == 2
+assert set(r["text"] for r in results) == {"lance database", "lance is cool"}
+
+results = (
+    table.search("nce", query_type="fts").limit(10).to_list()
+)  # spellchecker:disable-line
+assert len(results) == 2
+assert set(r["text"] for r in results) == {"lance database", "lance is cool"}
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Handling Short Substrings {#handling-short-substrings}
+
+By default, the minimum n-gram length is 3, so shorter substrings like "la" won't match:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+results = table.search("la", query_type="fts").limit(10).to_list()
+assert len(results) == 0
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Customizing N-gram Parameters {#customizing-n-gram-parameters}
+
+You can customize the n-gram behavior by adjusting the minimum length and using prefix-only matching:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+table.create_index(
+    "text",
+    config=FTS(base_tokenizer="ngram", ngram_min_length=2, prefix_only=True),
+    replace=True,
+)
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Testing Custom N-gram Settings {#testing-custom-n-gram-settings}
+
+With the new settings, you can now search for shorter substrings and use prefix-only matching:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+results = table.search("lan", query_type="fts").limit(10).to_list()
+assert len(results) == 2
+assert set(r["text"] for r in results) == {"lance database", "lance is cool"}
+
+results = (
+    table.search("nce", query_type="fts").limit(10).to_list()
+)  # spellchecker:disable-line
+assert len(results) == 0
+
+results = table.search("la", query_type="fts").limit(10).to_list()
+assert len(results) == 2
+assert set(r["text"] for r in results) == {"lance database", "lance is cool"}
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+
+```python Python icon="python"
+directory.cleanup()
+```
+
+</Accordion>
+
+## Full-Text Search on Array Fields {#full-text-search-on-array-fields}
+
+<Accordion title="Worked examples: searching string arrays">
+
+
+LanceDB supports full-text search on string array columns, enabling efficient keyword-based search across multiple values within a single field (e.g., tags, keywords).
+
+### Setting Up the Connection {#setting-up-the-connection}
+
+This example uses a temporary local database. Run the steps in order.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"

+### Creating the Table and Adding Data {#creating-the-table-and-adding-data}
+
+Create the table and populate it with the sample data:

+// Create table
+const table = await db.createTable(tableName, data, { mode: "overwrite" });
+console.log(`Created table: ${tableName}`);
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Building the Full-Text Search Index {#building-the-full-text-search-index}
+
+Store token positions for phrase queries. This example disables stemming so fuzzy matching compares the original word forms:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+# Create FTS index
+table.create_index("tags", config=FTS(with_position=True, stem=False))
+table.wait_for_index(["tags_idx"])

+});
+
+// Wait for index
+const ftsIndexName = "tags_idx";
+await table.waitForIndex([ftsIndexName], 300);
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Performing Fuzzy Search {#performing-fuzzy-search}
+
+Search for terms with typos using fuzzy matching:

+  }))
+  .select(["id", "tags", "description", "_score"])
+  .toArray();
+console.log(fuzzyResults);
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+A string-array query can return a row more than once when several elements match.
+Deduplicate by your record ID if your application needs one result per row.

+### Performing Phrase Search {#performing-phrase-search}
+
+Search for exact phrases within the array fields:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+print("\nSearching for 'machine learning' in tags:")
+result = (

+Hybrid search combines vector similarity with keyword matching. It is useful
+when a query needs both: for example, finding products with a particular model
+number whose descriptions match what the customer is looking for.
+
+LanceDB runs a vector search and a full-text search, then merges their results
+with a reranker. Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) is the default. It combines the
+positions of records in the two ranked lists.
+
+Before you query, store vectors and create an FTS index on the text column.

+
+### 9\. Supply a vector and text separately {#9-hybrid-search-explicit-vector-and-text-query-pattern}
+You can supply the vector and text separately. The vector must use the same
+model and dimensions as the stored embeddings. This example reuses the model
+configured above; the complete example at the top also demonstrates this pattern
+in TypeScript and Rust.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+text_query = "rebel spaceships"
+vector_query = embeddings.compute_query_embeddings(text_query)[0]
+(
+    table.search(query_type="hybrid")
+    .vector(vector_query)
+    .text(text_query)
+    .limit(5)
+    .to_pandas()
+)
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+## Control the candidate results {#query-controls}
+
+Use a result limit, metadata filters and vector distance bounds to control
+which candidates are available to the reranker. The examples below show each
+option on the query builder.
+
+<Info>
+Set `limit()` to the number of results your application needs. The default is 10.
+A larger candidate set can help a reranker find relevant records, but adds work.
+</Info>
+
+### Returning row IDs {#returning-row-ids}
+
+Pass `with_row_id(True)` (Python) or `withRowId()` (TypeScript) to include the internal `_rowid` column in the results. This is useful for joining hybrid results back to a primary table, or for deduping across multiple queries:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+results = (
+    table.search("rebel spaceships", query_type="hybrid")
+    .with_row_id(True)
+    .limit(10)
+    .to_pandas()
+)
+# results now contains a `_rowid` column alongside `_relevance_score`
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+const results = await table
+    .query()
+    .fullTextSearch("rebel spaceships")
+    .nearestTo(queryVector)
+    .withRowId()
+    .limit(10)
+    .toArray();
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Bounding vector distance {#bounding-vector-distance}
+
+`distance_range(lower, upper)` (Python) and `distanceRange(lower, upper)` (TypeScript) constrain the vector half of the hybrid query to the half-open interval `[lower, upper)`. This is helpful when you want to cap how far semantic candidates can drift from the query vector before reranking:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+results = (
+    table.search("rebel spaceships", query_type="hybrid")
+    .distance_range(lower_bound=0.0, upper_bound=0.4)
+    .limit(10)
+    .to_pandas()
+)
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+const results = await table
+    .query()
+    .fullTextSearch("rebel spaceships")
+    .nearestTo(queryVector)
+    .distanceRange(0.0, 0.4)
+    .limit(10)
+    .toArray();
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Either bound can be omitted to leave that side unbounded.
+
+### Prefilter vs. postfilter {#prefilter-vs-postfilter}
+
+A hybrid query applies its metadata filter to both the vector and full-text
+searches. Prefiltering, the default, restricts eligible rows before retrieval.
+Postfiltering removes candidates after retrieval and can leave fewer results
+than requested. See [Filtering](/search/filtering).
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+# Prefilter (default): filter applied before scoring
+table.search("rebel spaceships", query_type="hybrid") \
+    .where("category = 'film'", prefilter=True) \
+    .limit(10) \
+    .to_pandas()
+
+# Postfilter: filter applied after the sub-queries return top-k
+table.search("rebel spaceships", query_type="hybrid") \
+    .where("category = 'film'", prefilter=False) \
+    .limit(10) \
+    .to_pandas()
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+// Prefilter (default): just call .where(...)
+await table.query()
+    .fullTextSearch("rebel spaceships")
+    .nearestTo(queryVector)
+    .where("category = 'film'")
+    .limit(10)
+    .toArray();
+
+// Postfilter: chain .postfilter() after .where(...)
+await table.query()
+    .fullTextSearch("rebel spaceships")
+    .nearestTo(queryVector)
+    .where("category = 'film'")
+    .postfilter()
+    .limit(10)
+    .toArray();
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+In Python, use [`explain_plan`](/search/explain#analyzing-non-vector-queries) on a hybrid query to see whether the filter pushed into the scan or ran as a separate `FilterExec` step.
+
+## Choose and evaluate a reranker {#more-on-reranking}
+
+Start with RRF, then compare alternatives on representative queries. Review
+which relevant rows reach the candidate set before evaluating how a reranker
+orders them. Record latency as well as relevance: increasing candidate counts
+or applying a model-based reranker adds work.
+
+Reranking runs in the application for both OSS and Enterprise connections.
+See [Reranking](/reranking) for model-free fusion, model-based rerankers,
+custom implementations and score interpretation.
+
+In synchronous Python, `.rerank(...)` accepts a reranker and a `normalize`
+option (`"score"` or `"rank"`). Normalization matters for methods that blend
+raw scores; RRF uses rank positions. These are Python query options, not a
+shared signature across every SDK.

+
+LanceDB supports vector, full-text and hybrid search. Use vector search to find
+similar content, full-text search to match words, or hybrid search to combine
+both. Filters narrow the results to records that match your criteria.
+
+## Choose a search method
+
+| You want to find | Use | Prepare |
+|:----------------|:----|:--------|
+| Items similar to a query, such as related passages or images | [Vector search](/search/vector-search) | Stored vectors and a compatible query vector |
+| Documents represented by several embeddings | [Multivector search](/search/vector-search#multivector) | A multivector column and compatible query vectors |
+| Records containing particular words or phrases | [Full-text search](/search/full-text-search) | An FTS index on the text column |
+| Relevant meaning alongside keyword matches | [Hybrid search](/search/hybrid-search) | Vectors and an FTS index |
+| Rows matching a condition, without similarity ranking | [Filtering](/search/filtering) | A predicate over table columns |
+
+Vector search can run without an index. An approximate nearest-neighbor index
+reduces the work needed for larger tables, with a tradeoff between recall and
+latency. Full-text search needs an FTS index before you query it.
+
+## Before you search {#before-you-search}
+
+For vector search, generate stored and query vectors with the same embedding
+model and compatible settings. Their dimensions must match. Keep the fields
+you want to return, such as document text or an item ID, in the same table.
+
+For full-text search, choose the text column and build its index. Enterprise
+builds indexes in the background, so wait for the index to be ready before
+querying it. Phrase queries also need token positions in the index. See
+[FTS indexes](/indexing/fts-index).

+This query returns the puppy and dog records, ordered by vector distance.
+It searches the three-row table directly, without an ANN index or an embedding
+service. For connection options, see [Connect](/basics/connect).
+
+</Accordion>
+
+## Read the results
+
+Use `select()` to choose the columns your application needs and `limit()` to
+set the maximum number of results. The search also returns a ranking value:
+
+| Search method | Ranking column | Order |
+|:--------------|:---------------|:------|
+| Vector | `_distance` | Smaller distance first |
+| Full-text | `_score` | Higher text relevance first |
+| Hybrid | `_relevance_score` | Higher combined relevance first |
+
+These values have different meanings. Do not compare a vector distance directly
+with a full-text score or treat a reranker score as a probability.
+
+## Add filters and reranking {#performance}
+
+[Filters](/search/filtering) restrict which rows qualify, such as documents
+from a particular collection. Prefiltering searches within those rows.
+Postfiltering removes nonmatching rows from the candidates already retrieved,
+so it can leave fewer results than requested.
+
+[Reranking](/reranking) reorders the candidates returned by retrieval. Start
+with representative queries and expected results, then compare changes to
+relevance and latency. A reranker cannot recover a relevant row that retrieval
+never returned.
+
+## Read large result sets in batches {#avoid-materializing-the-whole-table}
+
+Materializing all rows at once can exhaust application memory. For exports and
+training reads, use bounded queries or the batch-reading interfaces described
+in [Data loading](/training/data-loading). The SDK buffers Enterprise
+query responses before exposing batches. Set a query limit rather than relying
+on batch iteration alone to bound memory.
+
+Direct Lance dataset access through Python's `table.to_lance()` is an OSS
+interface. Use the SDK query builders for reads that need to work with both
+OSS and Enterprise.
+
+## Investigate a slow query {#diagnostics}
+
+Use [query plans](/search/explain) to see the scans, filters and indexes selected
+for a query. `explain_plan()` inspects the plan; `analyze_plan()` executes the
+query and reports measurements. Compare one change at a time, such as adding
+an index, returning fewer columns, or adjusting search parameters.

+Vector search finds similar items by comparing their embeddings: numerical
+representations of text, images, audio or other data. An embedding model maps
+related items to nearby points in vector space, so you can search by meaning
+or similarity instead of matching exact words.
+
+![An embedding model maps data into vectors for similarity search.](/static/assets/images/search/vector-db-basics.png)

+
+## Supported distance metrics {#supported-distance-metrics}
+
+A distance metric determines how LanceDB compares vectors. Choose the metric
+recommended by your embedding model. Use the same metric when building an index
+and querying it.
+
+LanceDB supports `l2`, `cosine`, `dot` and `hamming`. An unindexed search uses
+`l2` by default; Hamming distance is for binary vectors. The table below shows
+the value returned in the `_distance` column. Smaller values rank first.
+
+| Distance metric | Mathematical form | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `l2` | $\sum_i (x_i-y_i)^2$ | Squared Euclidean distance returned in `_distance`. |
+| `cosine` | $1-\frac{x\cdot y}{\|x\|_2\|y\|_2}$ | Measures directional difference between vectors. Insensitive to nonzero scaling of vectors. |
+| `dot` | $1-\sum_i x_i y_i$ | Dot-product distance. For unit-normalized vectors, this equals cosine distance. |
+| `hamming` | $\underset{i}{\sum} \,\: \mathbf{1}_{\, [x_i\neq y_i]}$ | Counts the number of bitwise-differing bits between binary vectors. |
+
+For indexed search, supported distance metrics vary by index type:
+
+| Index type | Supported distance metrics |
+|---|---|
+| `IVF_FLAT` | `["l2", "cosine", "dot", "hamming"]` |
+| `IVF_PQ` | `["l2", "cosine", "dot"]` |
+| `IVF_SQ` | `["l2", "cosine", "dot"]` |
+| `IVF_RQ` | `["l2", "cosine", "dot"]` |
+| `IVF_HNSW_FLAT` | `["l2", "cosine", "dot"]` |
+| `IVF_HNSW_PQ` | `["l2", "cosine", "dot"]` |
+| `IVF_HNSW_SQ` | `["l2", "cosine", "dot"]` |
+
+### Configure Distance Metric
+
+Without a vector index, searches use `l2` by default. You can specify `cosine` or
+`dot` instead (`hamming` is supported for `IVF_FLAT` indexes only).
+
+When a vector index exists, the search metric must match the metric used to build
+the index. If you explicitly request a different metric, LanceDB cannot use that
+index and falls back to an exhaustive (brute-force) search. On LanceDB Cloud, the
+brute-force KNN safety limit can reject that search on a large table instead of
+executing it. LanceDB Enterprise doesn't have the limit.
+
+If you omit the search metric, current SDKs use the index metric when an index is
+available. Some older SDK versions sent `l2` when the metric was omitted; with a
+non-`l2` index, explicitly set the matching metric or upgrade the SDK.

+</CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+These examples use cosine distance and return up to ten matches. If the table
+has a vector index, build it with the same metric.
+
+Set `.limit(...)` on vector searches you run in applications. You can page through results with `.offset(...)` and include LanceDB's internal row id with `.with_row_id()` / `.withRowId()` when an operation requires internal row IDs. Use your own ID column for application identifiers.
+
+## Selecting the vector column
+
+If your table has exactly one vector column, you can omit the column name and LanceDB will pick it for you. This works for both top-level columns (such as `vector`) and vector fields nested inside a struct (such as `image.embedding`).
+
+When LanceDB can't infer a single column, it raises a `ValueError` (Python) or rejects the query (Node/Rust). Two cases trigger this:
+
+- No vector column: the schema has no `fixed_size_list` or `list` of floats.
+- Multiple candidates: more than one column matches the query's dimension. The error lists every candidate path so you can pick one explicitly.
+
+To disambiguate, pass the field path with dot notation. Wrap any segment that contains characters outside `[A-Za-z0-9_]` in backticks (for example, `` `image-meta`.`embedding.v1` ``).
+
+<CodeGroup>
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="python" icon="python">
+{SelectVectorColumn}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+<CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="typescript" icon="square-js">
+{TsSelectVectorColumn}
+</CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+The same field-path syntax works when creating an index on a nested vector column:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="python" icon="python">
+{IndexNestedColumn}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+<CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="typescript" icon="square-js">
+{TsIndexNestedColumn}
+</CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+When several columns share a name across structs (for example, `image.embedding` and `text.embedding`), LanceDB still picks the one whose dimension matches your query vector. If two candidates have the same dimension, you must pass the column name explicitly.
+
+## Search with a vector index {#vector-search-with-ann-index}
+
+An approximate nearest-neighbor (ANN) index narrows the set of vectors examined
+for a query. It can reduce query latency, but may miss neighbors that an
+exhaustive search would find. Compare recall and latency on queries that
+represent your application before choosing an index and its search settings.
+
+<Warning>
+When a vector index is used, `_distance` is not always the true distance between full vectors. On quantized ANN indexes, LanceDB may compute `_distance` from the compressed representation for speed. Use `refine_factor` when you want reranking on full vectors.
+</Warning>
+
+### Exact vs Approximate Distances
+
+When doing vector search, the meaning of "distance" depends on whether you are using an index and whether `refine_factor` is specified as part of your query.
+`nprobes` controls how many partitions are searched to find candidates, `approx_mode` controls the query-time speed/recall trade-off for RQ-quantized indexes, and `refine_factor` controls how many candidates are rescored on full vectors for better distance fidelity and reranking quality.
+
+The table below summarizes the behavior of `_distance` in search results based on your query configuration:
+
+| Query mode | Neighbor quality | `_distance` in results |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| No index or `.bypass_vector_index()` | Exact kNN (100% recall) | True distance on full vectors |
+| Indexed ANN, no `refine_factor` | Approximate neighbors | Distance on the index representation: exact for flat indexes, approximate for quantized indexes |
+| Indexed ANN + `refine_factor(1)` | Approximate neighbors (same candidate set) | Distances recomputed on full vectors for reranked candidates |
+| Indexed ANN + `refine_factor(>1)` | Better recall than no refine (usually) | Distances recomputed on full vectors for reranked candidates |

+</CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+See [vector indexes](/indexing/vector-index) for index configuration. The
+following sections cover query-time settings.
+
+### Tuning `approx_mode`
+
+Use `approx_mode` when you want to adjust the speed/recall trade-off for approximate vector search at query time. This setting currently applies only to RQ-quantized indexes, such as `IVF_RQ`; other index types ignore it.
+
+The supported values are:
+
+| Value | Behavior |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| `fast` | Prefer lower query latency, which can reduce recall. |
+| `normal` | Use the default balance between query latency and recall. This only has an effect for RQ indexes built with `num_bits > 1`. |
+| `accurate` | Prefer higher recall, which can increase query latency. |
+
+Only the Rust SDK sets `approx_mode`; the Python and TypeScript SDKs do not expose it. You can change `approx_mode` per query without rebuilding the index. For RQ indexes built with `num_bits=1`, `normal` uses the same one-bit scoring path as `fast`. If you also set `refine_factor`, LanceDB first uses `approx_mode` while finding candidates, then reranks the selected candidates on full vectors.
+
+### Tuning `nprobes`
+
+- `nprobes` controls how many partitions are searched at query time.
+- `nprobes` improves candidate recall, but does not by itself make `_distance` exact.
+- The default probe selection is a starting point. Measure recall and latency for your data before overriding it.
+- In most cases, leave `nprobes` unset and use the auto-tuned value.
+- Only tune `nprobes` manually when recall is below your target, or when you need even higher performance for your workload.
+- If recall is too low, increase `nprobes` gradually, but after a certain threshold, increasing `nprobes` yields only marginal accuracy gains.
+- If you need higher performance and have recall headroom, decrease `nprobes` gradually.
+
+For filtered ANN searches, you can also set `minimum_nprobes` and `maximum_nprobes`. LanceDB starts
+with the minimum and can scan more partitions up to the maximum if the filter leaves too few
+candidates. Calling `nprobes(n)` fixes both values to `n`, which disables that adaptive behavior.
+Whether a deployment honors this range depends on its version; one that does not searches exactly
+`minimum_nprobes` partitions.
+
+### Vector Search with Prefiltering
+
+This is the default vector search setting. You can use prefiltering to boost query performance by reducing the search space before vector calculations begin. The system first applies your filter criteria to the dataset, then conducts vector search operations only on the remaining relevant subset.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="python" icon="python">

+</CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+The filter limits which rows can match. Use `select()` to choose the returned
+columns and `limit()` to set the maximum number of results.
+
+### Vector Search with Postfiltering
+
+Postfiltering selects vector-search candidates before applying the metadata
+predicate. It can return fewer matches than requested, even when other rows in
+the table satisfy the predicate. Use prefiltering when you want the nearest
+records within the matching subset.

+## Multivector Search
+
+Use multivector search when your documents contain multiple embeddings and you need sophisticated matching between query and document vector pairs. The late interaction approach finds the most relevant combinations across all available embeddings and provides nuanced similarity scoring.
+
+Only `cosine` similarity is supported as the distance metric for multivector search operations.
+Every query vector must match the inner dimension of the multivector column.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="python" icon="python">
+{MultivectorSearch}
+</CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Here you can see how to take 2 query vectors and find the best matching pairs between them and document vectors using late interaction. The `np.random.random(size=(2, 256))` creates a 2×256 array with two random query vectors, `.limit(5)` returns the top 5 best document-query combinations, and `.to_pandas()` provides results in a DataFrame format.

+
+## Advanced Search Scenarios
+
+### Search With Distance Range
+
+Use `distance_range` search when you need vectors within particular similarity bounds rather than just the closest neighbors. The system filters results to only include vectors that fall within your specified distance thresholds from the query.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="python" icon="python">
+{SearchDistanceRange}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+<CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="typescript" icon="square-js">
+{TsDistanceRange}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="rust" icon="rust">
+{RsSearchDistanceRange}
+</CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+This shows three ways to search within distance ranges: bounded, upper bound only, and lower bound only. 
+
+The `distance_range()` method filters results by similarity thresholds - the first example finds vectors with distance between `0.1` and `0.5`, the second finds vectors closer than `0.5`, and the third finds vectors farther than `0.1`. 
+
+  Each approach returns Arrow tables with vectors that fall within your specified distance thresholds.
+
+### Search With Binary Vectors
+
+Use binary vector search for scenarios involving binary embeddings, such as those produced by hashing algorithms. The system stores these efficiently as packed uint8 arrays and uses Hamming distance calculations to determine vector similarity.
+
+<Tip>
+The number of dimensions of the binary vector must be a multiple of 8. A vector of dimensionality 128 will be stored as a `uint8` array of size 16.
+</Tip>
+
+<CodeGroup>
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="python" icon="python">
+{SearchBinaryVectors}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+<CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="typescript" icon="square-js">
+{TsBinarySearch}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="rust" icon="rust">
+{RsBinarySearch}
+</CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Here you can see how to set up a table for binary vectors, pack them efficiently into bytes, and search using Hamming distance. 
+
+The schema defines a 32-byte vector field (256 bits ÷ 8), `np.random.randint(0, 2, size=256)` creates binary vectors, `np.packbits()` compresses them to bytes, and `.distance_type("hamming")` specifies `hamming` distance for similarity calculation. 
+
+The search produces an Arrow table with binary vectors ranked by how many bits differ from the query.
+
+## Scaling Vector Search
+
+### Query multiple vectors in a batch {#batch-search}
+
+Batch search accepts multiple query vectors in one request. The `query_index`
+column identifies which query produced each result. Measure throughput and
+latency with your workload when choosing a batch size.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="python" icon="python">
+{BatchSearch}

+</CodeBlock>
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="rust" icon="rust">
+{RsBatchSearch}
+</CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Each input vector has its own nearest-neighbor results. Use `query_index` to
+associate each row with the corresponding input vector.
+
+### Include or skip unindexed rows {#search-with-asynchronous-indexing}
+
+To optimize for speed over completeness, enable the `fast_search` flag in your query to skip searching unindexed data.
+
+By default, search includes both indexed vectors and unindexed rows visible to
+the query. LanceDB scans the unindexed rows directly. `fast_search` skips that
+scan, which can reduce query time but omit recent records.
+
+<CodeGroup>

+</CodeBlock>
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="rust" icon="rust">
+{RsFastSearch}
+</CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Use this option only when results from indexed data are sufficient.
+
+## Search without a vector index {#brute-force-search}
+
+### Search With No Index
+
+The simplest way to perform vector search is to perform a brute force search, without an index, where the distance between the query vector and all the vectors in the database are computed, with the top-k closest vectors returned. 
+
+This is equivalent to a k-nearest neighbours (kNN) search in vector space.
+
+Choose brute force search when you need guaranteed 100% recall, typically with smaller datasets where query speed isn't the primary concern. The system scans every vector in the table and calculates precise distances to find the exact nearest neighbors.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="python" icon="python">
+{BruteForceSearch}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+<CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="typescript" icon="square-js">
+{TsBruteForceSearch}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="rust" icon="rust">
+{RsBruteForceSearch}
+</CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+These queries return the three nearest matches. Without a vector index, LanceDB
+calculates distances directly from the stored vectors.
+
+![](/static/assets/images/search/knn_search.png)
+
+Exhaustive search does more work as the table grows. When query latency becomes
+too high, add an ANN index and compare its results with the exhaustive baseline.
+
+### Bypass the Vector Index
+
+Use `bypass_vector_index` to get exact, ground-truth results by performing exhaustive searches across all vectors. Instead of relying on approximate methods, the system directly compares your query against every vector in the table, ensuring 100% recall at the cost of increased query time.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+<CodeBlock filename="Python" language="python" icon="python">
+{BypassVectorIndex}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+<CodeBlock filename="TypeScript" language="typescript" icon="square-js">
+{TsBypassVectorIndex}
+</CodeBlock>
+
+<CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="rust" icon="rust">
+{RsBypassVectorIndex}
+</CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+This skips the approximate index and checks every single vector for exact, ground-truth results. 
+
+The `.bypass_vector_index()` method forces LanceDB to perform an exhaustive search through all vectors instead of using the approximate nearest neighbor index, ensuring exact results but at the cost of slower performance. 
+
+The query returns the nearest five rows within its filters and distance bounds.
+Use an exhaustive scan as a baseline when measuring ANN recall.
+
+This approach is particularly useful when:
+- Evaluating ANN index quality
+- Calculating recall metrics to tune index parameters
+- Ensuring exact results for critical applications
+
+## Multi-vector search {#multivector}
+
+LanceDB's multivector support enables you to store and search multiple vector embeddings for a single item.
+
+This capability is particularly valuable when working with late-interaction models like ColBERT and ColPaLi, which generate multiple embeddings per document.
+
+In this tutorial, you'll create a table with multiple vector embeddings per document and learn how to perform multivector search. For more end-to-end examples, see the [VectorDB recipes repository](https://github.com/lancedb/vectordb-recipes/tree/main/examples).
+
+### Multivector Support
+
+Each item in your dataset can have a column containing multiple vectors, which LanceDB can efficiently index and search. When performing a search, you can query with either a single vector embedding or multiple vector embeddings.
+
+<Warning>
+Currently, only the `cosine` metric is supported for multivector search. The vector value type can be `float16`, `float32`, or `float64`.
+</Warning>
+
+Each query vector must match the inner vector dimension in the multivector column. This applies to both single-vector queries and multi-vector query matrices.
+
+### Computing Similarity
+
+MaxSim (Maximum Similarity) is a key concept in late-interaction models that:
+
+- Computes the maximum similarity between each query embedding and all document embeddings
+- Sums these maximum similarities to get the final relevance score
+- Effectively captures fine-grained semantic matches between query and document tokens
+
+The MaxSim calculation can be expressed as:
+
+$$
+\text{MaxSim}(Q, D) = \sum_{i=1}^{|Q|} \max_{j=1}^{|D|} \text{sim}(q_i, d_j)
+$$
+
+Where $sim$ is the similarity function (e.g., cosine similarity).
+
+$$
+Q = \{q_1, q_2, ..., q_{|Q|}\}
+$$
+
+$Q$ represents the query embeddings, and $D = \{d_1, d_2, ..., d_{|D|}\}$ represents the document embeddings.
+
+### Using Multivector Search
+
+#### 1. Setup
+
+Connect to LanceDB and import the required libraries.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+import lancedb
+import numpy as np
+import pyarrow as pa
+
+db = lancedb.connect(
+    uri="db://your-project-slug",
+    api_key="your-api-key",
+    region="your-region"
+)
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+#### 2. Define Schema
+
+Define a schema that specifies a multivector field. A multivector field is a nested list structure in which each document contains multiple vectors. In this case, we'll create a schema with:
+
+1. An ID field as an integer (int64)
+2. A vector field that is a list of lists of float32 values
+   - The outer list represents multiple vectors per document
+   - Each inner list is a 256-dimensional vector
+   - Using float32 for memory efficiency while maintaining precision
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+db = lancedb.connect("data/multivector_demo")
+schema = pa.schema(
+    [
+        pa.field("id", pa.int64()),
+        # float16, float32, and float64 are supported
+        pa.field("vector", pa.list_(pa.list_(pa.float32(), 256))),
+    ]
+)
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+#### 3. Generate Multivectors
+
+Generate sample data where each document contains multiple vector embeddings, which can represent different aspects or views of the same document.
+
+In this example, we create **1024 documents** where each document has **2 random vectors** of **dimension 256**, simulating a real-world scenario where you might have multiple embeddings per item.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+data = [
+    {
+        "id": i,
+        "vector": np.random.random(size=(2, 256)).tolist(),  # Each document has 2 vectors
+    }
+    for i in range(1024)
+]
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+#### 4. Create a Table
+
+Create a table with the defined schema and sample data, which will store multiple vectors per document for similarity search.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+tbl = db.create_table("multivector_example", data=data, schema=schema)
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+#### 5. Build an Index
+
+Only cosine similarity is supported for multivector search operations.
+For faster search, build the standard `IVF_PQ` index over your vectors:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+tbl.create_index(metric="cosine", vector_column_name="vector")
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+<Info>
+**Indexing matters more for multivector tables than for single-vector ones.**
+
+A brute-force scan over a multivector column has to compare every query vector to every document vector in every row, so the cost grows with both the row count and the number of vectors per row. 
+In LanceDB OSS, the query will just run, so a large unindexed multivector table can stall a process for a long time before returning results.
+
+On LanceDB Cloud, the brute-force KNN safety check applies a stricter row threshold to multivector columns; roughly 10× lower than for single-vector columns. So an unindexed multivector table can be rejected with a "vector search would use brute-force KNN" error well before a comparable single-vector table would. LanceDB Enterprise doesn't have the limit. Build the index before you start hitting it from production traffic, even if the dataset is small enough that you'd skip indexing for a single-vector workload.
+</Info>
+
+#### 6. Query a Single Vector
+
+When searching with a single query vector, it will be compared against all vectors in each document, and the similarity scores will be aggregated to find the most relevant documents.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+query = np.random.random(256)
+results_single = tbl.search(query).limit(5).to_pandas()
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+#### 7. Query Multiple Vectors
+
+With multiple query vectors, LanceDB calculates similarity using late interaction, a late-interaction technique that computes relevance by finding the best-matching pairs between query and document vectors. This approach provides more nuanced matching while maintaining fast retrieval speeds.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+query_multi = np.random.random(size=(2, 256))
+results_multi = tbl.search(query_multi).limit(5).to_pandas()
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+
+Visit the [Hugging Face embedding integration](/integrations/embedding/huggingface/) page for information on embedding models.
+
+### Simple Example: ColBERT Embeddings
+
+[ColBERT](https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.12832) is the most well-known late-interaction retrieval model that
+represents each document and query as multiple token embeddings and scores matches by taking the best
+token-to-token similarities (MaxSim) across them.
+
+Install the dependencies before running this example:
+
+```bash
+pip install pylate lancedb pandas
+```
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+import numpy as np
+import pyarrow as pa
+import lancedb
+from pylate import models
+
+## 1) Load a late-interaction model via PyLate
+## PyLate docs show ColBERT() + encode(..., is_query=...)
+model = models.ColBERT(model_name_or_path="lightonai/GTE-ModernColBERT-v1")
+
+## You can discover dim from one embedding (avoid guessing)
+dim = model.encode(["hello"], is_query=True)[0].shape[1]
+
+## 2) Create a LanceDB table with a multivector column
+db = lancedb.connect("./pylate_lancedb")
+schema = pa.schema([
+    pa.field("doc_id", pa.string()),
+    pa.field("text", pa.string()),
+    # multivector: list<list<float32, dim>>
+    pa.field("mv", pa.list_(pa.list_(pa.float32(), dim))),
+])
+
+docs = [
+    {"doc_id": "1", "text": "The train to Tokyo leaves at 5pm."},
+    {"doc_id": "2", "text": "That Pho restaurant in Hanoi is highly rated."},
+    {"doc_id": "3", "text": "This is a noodle bar in Osaka, Japan."},
+]
+
+## 3) Encode documents with PyLate (token vectors per doc)
+doc_texts = [d["text"] for d in docs]
+doc_embs = model.encode(doc_texts, is_query=False)  # list/array of (T, dim) per doc
+
+rows = []
+for d, emb in zip(docs, doc_embs):
+    emb = np.asarray(emb, dtype=np.float32)
+    rows.append({**d, "mv": emb.tolist()})
+
+tbl = db.create_table("docs", data=rows, schema=schema, mode="overwrite")
+
+## 4) Build an index + query using a query matrix.
+## Multivector brute-force scales with rows × vectors-per-row, so build the index
+## at much smaller dataset sizes than you would for single-vector search; and
+## always before exposing the table to remote traffic.
+tbl.create_index(vector_column_name="mv", metric="cosine")
+
+query = "Tell me about ramen in Japan"
+q_emb = np.asarray(model.encode([query], is_query=True)[0], dtype=np.float32)  # (Tq, dim)
+
+out = tbl.search(q_emb).limit(5).to_pandas()  # multivector search accepts a matrix
+print(out[["doc_id", "text"]])
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Late-interaction model implementations evolve rapidly, so it's a good idea to check the latest popular models
+when trying multivector search.
+
+### Advanced Example: XTR Embeddings
+
+[ConteXtualized Token Retriever (XTR)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.01982) is a late-interaction retrieval model that represents text as token-level vectors instead of a single embedding.
+This lets search score token-to-token matches (MaxSim), which can improve fine-grained relevance.
+
+The notebook linked below shows how to integrate XTR, which prioritizes critical document
+tokens during the initial retrieval stage and removes the gathering stage to improve performance significantly.
+By focusing on the most semantically salient tokens early in the process, XTR reduces computational complexity
+while improving recall and ensuring rapid identification of candidate documents.

+---
+
+<Badge color="red">Enterprise</Badge> [SQL runs in LanceDB Enterprise.](/sql)
+
+There is no SQL type layer over Lance storage. The table provider hands
+DataFusion the dataset's Arrow schema directly, so a column is the same object
+to the query engine as it is to the format.
+
+The consequence is that SQL type names here are **spellings of Arrow types**,
+not a system that maps onto them. [Data types](/sql/data-types) documents the
+storage side; this page covers what changes when you reach a column from SQL.
+
+## The Arrow types a column can be {#supported}
+
+| Category | Types |
+| --- | --- |
+| Null | `null` |
+| Boolean | `bool` |
+| Integer | `int8`, `int16`, `int32`, `int64` and their `uint` counterparts |
+| Floating point | `float16`, `float32`, `float64` |
+| String | `utf8`, `large_utf8` |
+| Binary | `binary`, `large_binary`, `fixed_size_binary(n)` |
+| Date and time | `date32`, `date64`, `time32`, `time64`, `timestamp` (with or without timezone), `duration` |
+| Nested | `struct`, `list`, `large_list`, `fixed_size_list`, `map` |
+| Dictionary | `dictionary(key, value)` |
+
+Two limits are worth stating because they surface as schema errors rather than
+as documentation:
+
+- A `map` with `keys_sorted = true` is rejected. Sorted-key maps do not survive
+  the round trip through the Python bindings, so they are refused rather than
+  silently unsorted.
+- Not every type is legal as a `fixed_size_list` child. The vector case is,
+  which is what matters in practice.
+
+## SQL names for Arrow types {#names}
+
+| SQL | Arrow |
+| --- | --- |
+| `BOOLEAN` | `Boolean` |
+| `TINYINT` `SMALLINT` `INT` `BIGINT` | `Int8` `Int16` `Int32` `Int64` |
+| `UTINYINT` … `UBIGINT` | the unsigned counterparts |
+| `REAL` / `FLOAT` | `Float32` |
+| `DOUBLE` | `Float64` |
+| `VARCHAR` / `TEXT` / `STRING` | `Utf8` |
+| `BYTEA` / `BINARY` | `Binary` |
+| `DATE` | `Date32` |
+| `TIME` | `Time64` |
+| `TIMESTAMP` | `Timestamp`, with or without a timezone |
+| `INTERVAL` | `Interval` |
+| `STRUCT` / `LIST` / `MAP` | the nested equivalents |
+
+DataFusion's [type reference](https://datafusion.apache.org/user-guide/sql/data_types.html)
+describes the full mapping.
+
+## Types SQL has no name for {#no-name}
+
+Three column kinds you will meet that no SQL type name covers.
+
+### Vectors {#vectors}
+
+A dense vector column has a fixed dimension, commonly represented as
+`FixedSizeList<Float32, dim>`. Other supported vector element types are
+possible; inspect the column with [`arrow_typeof`](/sql/scalar-functions#type) rather than assuming Float32.
+It is selectable and testable for nullness:
+
+```sql
+SELECT id FROM documents WHERE vector IS NOT NULL
+```
+
+<Warning>
+A list representation does not imply that ordinary arithmetic operators
+perform vector arithmetic. Use supported distance functions for similarity
+calculations. SQL vector search depends on the Enterprise server version and query
+plan; see [SQL](/basics/sql#no-vector-sql).
+</Warning>
+
+### JSON {#json}
+
+Stored as JSONB in `large_binary` with the `lance.json` extension name. It reads
+through accessor functions rather than a `->` operator:
+
+```sql
+SELECT json_get_string(data, 'name') FROM events
+WHERE json_get_int(data, 'status') = 200
+```
+
+`json_get`, its typed variants, and `json_extract` are **index-accelerated** by a
+JSON scalar index. See [Functions](/sql/scalar-functions#json).
+
+### Blobs {#blobs}
+
+A blob column is read either as its binary contents or as a **description** — a
+pointer plus metadata, without fetching the bytes. That choice changes the
+column's Arrow type, and therefore the schema your query sees.
+
+<Warning>
+The default reads blob columns as descriptions and other binary columns as
+binary. A query selecting a blob column and expecting bytes gets a struct.
+</Warning>
+
+### bfloat16 {#bfloat16}
+
+Sixteen-bit floats in the bfloat16 layout, stored as `fixed_size_binary(2)`.
+Useful as a vector element type when halving the memory matters more than the
+precision does.
+
+## Geospatial {#geospatial}
+
+<Warning>
+Lance defines geospatial types and `st_*` functions on
+[GeoArrow](https://geoarrow.org), but they sit behind an optional build feature
+that **LanceDB does not ship**. Calling `st_intersects` and friends returns an
+error naming the missing feature rather than an unknown-function error, and the
+spatial index is gated the same way.
+</Warning>
+
+Geometry can still be stored -- it is binary, and binary columns work -- but
+nothing interprets it. Filter on a bounding box held in ordinary numeric
+columns if you need spatial predicates today.
+
+## Pseudo-columns {#pseudo-columns}
+
+Availability depends on the SQL table provider. The ordinary table provider
+exposes the stored dataset schema; naming a Lance scan metadata field does
+not make it available as a SQL column. The `fts()` provider adds `_score` to
+its schema, so `_score` is included in `SELECT * FROM fts(...)`.
+
+| Column | Type | |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `_rowid` | `UInt64` | Lance scan row identifier; stability requires stable row ids |
+| `_rowaddr` | `UInt64` | physical row address |
+| `_rowoffset` | `UInt64` | offset within the fragment |
+| `_score` | `Float32` | relevance, from [`fts()`](/sql/functions#fts) |
+
+`_rowid`, `_rowaddr`, and `_rowoffset` describe Lance scan metadata, not
+columns automatically registered on an ordinary SQL table. Select `_score`
+from an `fts()` relation explicitly when you want a projection containing it.
+
+## Casting {#casting}
+
+```sql
+SELECT CAST(identifier AS VARCHAR) FROM documents
+SELECT TRY_CAST(maybe_number AS BIGINT) FROM raw
+```
+
+`TRY_CAST` yields null rather than failing the query on a value that will not
+convert. See [Operators](/sql/operators#casting).

+
+```sql

+LANGUAGE python
+AS 'def f(x): return x * 2'
+WITH (pip = 'numpy==1.26.4', python_version = '3.11')
+```
+
+Parameter and result types are Arrow type names, not SQL ones: `int64`,
+`float64`, `utf8`, `bool`, `date32`, and lists such as `list<float32>` or
+`fixed_size_list<float32, 768>`. `BIGINT` is refused. A parameter accepts nulls
+unless it is declared `NOT NULL`.
+
+The body is Python source. Its dependencies are declared with it and are part
+of the **immutable function version** -- changing one produces a new version
+rather than altering the registered one, so a column filled by an earlier
+version is unaffected.
+
+| Option | |
+| --- | --- |
+| `pip` | pip requirements for the worker environment |
+| `conda` | conda packages instead of pip |
+| `conda_channels` | channels in priority order; requires `conda` |
+| `python_version` | worker Python version; `3.12` when omitted, whatever Python you send the statement from |
+| `gpu` | `'true'` when every execution needs a GPU |
+
+**Errors and limits**
+
+| | |
+| --- | --- |
+| `LANGUAGE` other than `python` | refused |
+| `pip` and `conda` together | refused -- pick one |
+| `conda_channels` without `conda` | refused |
+| `gpu` set to anything but `'true'` | refused |
+| An empty body | refused |
+| Any other option | refused, and the message lists what is supported |
+
+<Note>
+**Enterprise job type:** `create_function`. Registration returns a job because
+the function is baked into an image before the version becomes usable.
+</Note>
+
+## SHOW FUNCTIONS {#show}
+
+```sql
+SHOW FUNCTIONS
+```
+
+Lists registered functions and their versions. Since a version is immutable
+and a column pins the version that fills it, this is how you find which
+versions are still in use before dropping one.
+
+## DROP FUNCTION {#drop}
+
+```sql
+DROP FUNCTION embed WITH (version = '1')
+DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS embed WITH (version = '1')
+DROP FUNCTION embed WITH (version = '1', cascade = 'true')
+```
+
+`version` is required -- a function is a set of immutable versions, and
+dropping is always of one specific version, never "the function" as a whole.
+

+```sql
+CREATE INDEX ON documents USING btree (title)
+CREATE INDEX text_search ON documents USING fts (text)

+
+`USING` is required: it names the algorithm. The scalar algorithms are `btree`,
+`bitmap` and `label_list`; `fts` builds a full-text index; and the vector
+algorithms are `ivf_pq`, `ivf_rq`, `ivf_flat`, `ivf_hnsw_sq` and `ivf_hnsw_pq`,
+where the deployment supports them. Index options go in a `WITH (...)` clause.
+
+<Note>
+In LanceDB Enterprise, SQL `CREATE INDEX` covers **one column**. A name between
+`INDEX` and `ON` names the index, where the deployment's configuration allows
+it; without one, the server names it after the column, as in `title_idx`. For a
+multi-column index, use the SDK's [`create_index`](/indexing).
+</Note>
+
+<Note>
+**Enterprise job type:** `reindex_` followed by the algorithm, such as
+`reindex_btree` or `reindex_ivf_pq`; the name says which algorithm is building,
+not a different feature. An SDK build that must not replace an existing index
+runs as `create_` followed by the algorithm instead. See
+[Build & Repair](/indexing/reindexing).
+</Note>
+
+## DROP INDEX {#drop}
+
+```sql
+DROP INDEX documents.title_idx
+```
+
+Takes the qualified `table.index` name. Find it with the SDK's
+[`list_indices`](/indexing) if you created the index without
+naming it yourself. A deployment builds the index in the background after
+`CREATE INDEX` returns; until that build finishes, the index is not listed and

+

+
+```sql
+SHOW JOBS

+SHOW ERRORS ON documents
+SHOW ERRORS ON documents FOR JOB 'job-abc' LIMIT 100

+
+Why rows failed. Reach for this when a [refresh](/sql/dml/refresh) reports
+fewer filled rows than you expected.
+
+**Errors and limits**
+
+| | |
+| --- | --- |
+| `LIMIT` | must be between 1 and 100,000 |
+| Failed jobs scanned without `FOR JOB` | 32 most recent |
+| Tables the server does not open directly | not supported |
+
+Without `FOR JOB` this surveys recent failures and stops at 32 jobs. When the
+listing stops at your `LIMIT`, the message says so -- narrow with `FOR JOB`
+rather than raising the limit blindly.
+
+## PAUSE JOB {#pause}
+
+```sql
+PAUSE JOB 'j-ci-abc-def'
+```
+
+## RESUME JOB {#resume}
+
+```sql
+RESUME JOB 'j-ci-abc-def'
+```
+
+## CANCEL JOB {#cancel}
+
+```sql
+CANCEL JOB 'j-ci-abc-def'
+```
+
+The job id is always a quoted string literal. All three take exactly one and
+nothing after it -- a second token on the line is a syntax error rather than
+being ignored.
+
+<Note>
+Cancellation is a request, matching the SDK's
+[`cancel()`](/basics/jobs#managing): it does not guarantee the job stops before
+doing more work, and asking twice or cancelling a finished job does nothing.
+`CANCEL JOB` itself can be unavailable on an Enterprise cluster with no job registry
+configured, which is a deployment condition rather than something you can work
+around from SQL.

+Materialized views are off by default in LanceDB Enterprise and have to be enabled

+## ALTER TABLE {#alter}
+
+What `ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN` does depends on what follows the column
+name.
+
+### A plain column {#plain-column}
+
+SQL `ADD COLUMN` requires an `AS` binding, so a plain column such as
+`ALTER TABLE t ADD COLUMN c INT` is rejected. Add an empty, nullable column
+with the SDK instead -- see
+[Add nullable columns](/management/table#schema-add-nullable-columns).
+
+### A computed column {#computed-column}
+
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE t ADD COLUMN doubled AS value * 2
+```
+
+`AS <expression>` declares a [computed column](/feature-engineering/add-computed-column).
+The column is committed empty and the expression is stored, not evaluated --
+declaring one on a billion-row table costs what declaring one on an empty table
+costs. [`REFRESH COLUMN`](/sql/dml/refresh) fills it.
+
+{/*
+Draft for the Functions release.
+
+### A function column {#function-column}
+
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE t ADD COLUMN embedded AS embed(name) WITH (version = 'fv_1')
+```
+
+When the expression calls a [registered function](/sql/ddl/function), the
+column is filled by running that function on workers. `version` pins which
+immutable function version fills it, so a later registration does not silently
+change what the column means.
+
+Several modifiers narrow what gets computed:
+
+| | |
+| --- | --- |
+| `FILTER (WHERE pred)` | only rows matching `pred` are computed |
+| `IGNORE NULLS` | rows with null inputs are skipped |
+| `OVER (PARTITION BY col)` | the function sees rows grouped by `col` |
+
+A function returning several values fills several columns at once:
+
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE t ADD COLUMN (label, score) AS classify(text) WITH (version = 'fv_1')
+```
+
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE t ADD COLUMN c AS f(x) FILTER (WHERE keep) WITH (version = 'fv_1')
+ALTER TABLE t ADD COLUMN c AS f(x) WITH (num_workers = '2')
+```
+
+<Note>
+`WITH` on a plain computed column accepts only `version`. Resource options such
+as `num_workers` apply to function columns, where there are workers to size.
+</Note>
+*/}
+
+### Table properties {#properties}
+
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE t SET UNENFORCED PRIMARY KEY (id)
+```
+
+Records which column identifies a row. **Unenforced** is not a hedge in the
+naming: uniqueness is not checked on write, and declaring it does not make
+duplicates impossible. It tells the planner what to assume. The column must be
+declared `NOT NULL`.
+
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE t SET WAL
+ALTER TABLE t SET WAL WITH (sharding = 'bucket', column = 'id', buckets = 4)
+ALTER TABLE t SET WAL WITH (maintained_indexes = '')
+ALTER TABLE t UNSET WAL
+```
+
+A write-ahead log makes small frequent writes cheap by batching them out of the
+commit path. `sharding` and `buckets` spread the log so concurrent writers do
+not contend on one place; `bucket` sharding names its `column`, which must be
+the table's unenforced primary key, and inserts into the table then need a
+scalar index on that key. `maintained_indexes` chooses which indexes are kept
+current against WAL rows. A table with a computed column cannot take a
+write-ahead log. See
+[Background jobs](/maintenance/background-jobs#wal) for how the log gets
+folded back into the table.
+
+<Warning>
+[`TABLESAMPLE`](/sql/dql/sampling) is refused on a WAL-backed table, because
+rows a sample would draw from are not all in the fragments yet.
+</Warning>
+
+**Errors and limits**

+
+Dropping, renaming, or retyping a column is an SDK operation --

+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE docs_snapshot CLONE documents

+```
+
+A **shallow clone**: the new table shares the source's data files rather than
+copying them, so it costs one metadata commit regardless of the source's size.
+
+`AT` pins the point in the source's history to clone. A bare integer is a
+version and a bare quoted string is a timestamp; `VERSION`, `TAG` and
+`TIMESTAMP` say so explicitly, and a tag always needs its keyword -- a bare
+quoted string cannot be both a tag name and a timestamp.
+
+<Warning>
+The clone depends on the source's files continuing to exist. If the source is
+[compacted](/maintenance/cleanup) past the retention window, the version the
+clone points at can be pruned. The SDK's
+[`clone_table`](/management/table#rename-clone) also offers a deep clone for

+
+A view stores a **query**, not rows. Reading it runs the query against current
+data, so a view is never stale -- and never faster than the query it wraps. It
+is the counterpart to a [materialized view](/sql/ddl/materialized-view), which
+stores rows and is brought up to date by a refresh; both are
+[catalog objects](/basics/catalog) defined by a query, differing only in when
+that query runs.
+
+There is no SDK method for a view, because the thing it stores *is* a SQL
+statement.
+
+## CREATE VIEW {#create}
+
+```sql
+CREATE VIEW "recent_matches" AS
+SELECT t1.floats
+FROM "documents" AS t1
+INNER JOIN "categories" AS t2 ON t1.ints = t2.ints
+```
+
+The statement returns the view's schema -- column name, data type, nullability
+-- resolved from the query at creation time. Anything the
+[dialect](/sql/functions) supports can define one: joins, predicates,
+aggregates, window functions.
+
+## Reading one {#reading}
+
+A view is queried like a table:
+
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM "recent_matches" WHERE floats > 0.5
+```
+
+Predicates applied to the view compose with the query inside it rather than
+filtering its output afterwards, so a selective filter does not pay for rows
+the view would have produced and then discarded.
+
+## DROP VIEW {#drop}
+
+```sql
+DROP VIEW "recent_matches"
+```
+
+Removes the saved query. Unlike dropping a table, no data is removed -- there
+was none to begin with.
+
+## Listing {#listing}
+
+Views and tables share a namespace, and both are things you can query. The
+catalog distinguishes them:
+
+| | |
+| --- | --- |
+| view names | the views in the database |
+| table names | the tables |
+| relation names | everything queryable -- both |
+
+Use the relation listing when the question is "what can I select from," and the
+separate listings when the distinction matters -- before dropping, for
+instance, since dropping a view removes only the saved query while dropping a
+table removes data.
+
+## Choosing between a view and a materialized view {#choosing}
+
+| | View | Materialized view |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Stores | the query | the rows |
+| Freshness | always current | as of the last refresh |
+| Read cost | the full query, every read | a table scan |
+| Write cost | none | a refresh |
+
+Reach for a **view** when the query is cheap, or when reading stale rows would
+be wrong. Reach for a **materialized view** when the query is expensive and the
+data changes less often than it is read.
+
+The privileges are separate too: `CREATE_VIEW` and `CREATE_MATERIALIZED_VIEW`
+are distinct grants on a namespace, so the ability to create one does not imply
+the other. See [Authorization](/governance/authorization).

+
+LanceDB extensions with no DataFusion equivalent. They are what makes
+[feature engineering](/feature-engineering) reachable from SQL: a column
+declared by [DDL](/sql/ddl/table#computed-column) starts empty, and a refresh fills it.
+
+## REFRESH COLUMN {#refresh-column}
+
+```sql
+REFRESH COLUMN <column> ON [TABLE] <table>
+  [WHERE <predicate>]
+  [WITH (<option> = <value> [, ...])]
+```
+
+```sql
+REFRESH COLUMN doubled ON my_table
+REFRESH COLUMN embedding ON documents WHERE created_at > '2026-01-01'
+```
+
+A refresh gives values to rows that lack them, recomputes rows whose inputs
+changed, and **leaves other filled rows alone**. That makes it idempotent, cheap
+to repeat as data arrives, and safe to re-run after a failure -- though a re-run
+can recompute values the failed run had already written.
+
+`WHERE` scopes the refresh, which is how you fill a slice and check it before
+committing to the whole table.
+
+### Options {#refresh-column-options}
+
+| Option | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| `num_workers` | how many workers to use |
+| `cpu_millis` | CPU budget per worker |
+| `memory_bytes` | memory budget per worker |
+| `gpu_count` | GPUs per worker |
+| `batch_size` | rows a worker takes at a time |
+| `error_policy` | `'skip'` continues past failing rows instead of failing the job |
+
+```sql
+REFRESH COLUMN embedding ON documents
+  WITH (cpu_millis = 8000, memory_bytes = 17179869184, gpu_count = 2)
+```
+
+`num_workers` sets a count; the budget options size each worker. They are
+alternatives rather than a pair.
+
+{/*
+Draft for the Functions release.
+
+<Note>
+`error_policy` and `num_workers` are refused for a column filled by a registered
+[function](/management/function) with its own resource budget -- use the CPU,
+memory and GPU options there.
+</Note>
+*/}
+
+## REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW {#refresh-materialized-view}
+
+```sql
+REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW <name>
+```
+
+```sql
+REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW chunks
+```
+
+A refresh updates the view's stored result. Refresh views in dependency order,
+starting with their source views.
+
+<Note>
+Some older server versions accepted `WITH (full = true)` and `CASCADE`.
+Those options are not accepted by the SQL implementation described here.
+Use the basic statement above; do not assume that the options accepted by a
+local SDK's `refresh()` method are also SQL options.
+</Note>
+
+## Watching a refresh {#watching}

+Both statements submit work that outlives the call. Track it with
+[`SHOW JOBS`](/sql/ddl/job#show), and diagnose failures with

+<Badge color="red">Enterprise</Badge> [SQL runs in LanceDB Enterprise.](/sql)
+
+Use SQL aggregates to summarize records, either across a whole table or
+within groups. Common examples include counts by category, totals and averages.
+
+## Grouping {#grouping}
+
+```sql
+SELECT category, count(*) AS n, avg(score) AS mean_score
+FROM documents
+GROUP BY category
+HAVING count(*) > 10
+ORDER BY n DESC
+```
+
+`WHERE` filters rows before grouping; `HAVING` filters groups after. Use `WHERE` for row-level conditions and `HAVING` for conditions on aggregate
+results. The planner may push eligible predicates earlier in the query.
+
+Grouping by several expressions produces one row per distinct combination:
+
+```sql
+SELECT category, source, count(*) FROM documents GROUP BY category, source
+```
+
+## Aggregate without grouping {#whole-table}
+
+Omitting `GROUP BY` aggregates the whole table into one row -- the usual way to
+ask how big something is:
+
+```sql
+SELECT count(*), min(created_at), max(created_at) FROM documents
+```
+
+`count(*)` counts rows; `count(col)` counts non-null values, which is how you
+measure how populated a [computed column](/feature-engineering/add-computed-column)
+is before deciding to refresh it again.
+
+## The function set {#functions}
+
+Registered in DataFusion 54. Names below are what is actually available.
+
+**General**
+
+```text
+count  sum  min  max  avg  median
+bit_and  bit_or  bit_xor  bool_and  bool_or
+first_value  last_value  nth_value  grouping
+```
+
+**Statistical**
+
+```text
+stddev  stddev_pop  stddev_samp
+var  var_pop  var_samp
+corr  covar_pop  covar_samp
+regr_slope  regr_intercept  regr_count  regr_r2
+regr_avgx  regr_avgy  regr_sxx  regr_syy  regr_sxy
+```
+
+**Approximate**
+
+```text
+approx_distinct  approx_median
+approx_percentile_cont  approx_percentile_cont_with_weight
+percentile_cont
+```
+
+**Collecting**
+
+```text
+array_agg  string_agg
+```
+
+The approximate functions are the ones worth reaching for on a large table.
+`approx_distinct` answers "roughly how many distinct values" for a fraction of
+what `count(DISTINCT ...)` costs, which can help with high-cardinality columns. Measure the accuracy and runtime
+for your workload.
+
+`DISTINCT` works inside an aggregate: `count(DISTINCT category)`. `FILTER`
+narrows one aggregate without narrowing the others:
+
+```sql
+SELECT
+    count(*) AS total,
+    count(*) FILTER (WHERE score > 0.9) AS confident
+FROM documents
+```
+
+## Aggregating a sample {#sampling}
+
+For an estimate over a very large table, aggregate a
+[sample](/sql/dql/sampling) rather than the whole thing:
+
+```sql
+SELECT category, count(*) * 100 AS estimated
+FROM documents TABLESAMPLE (1)
+GROUP BY category
+```
+
+For a uniform percentage sample, counts and sums can be scaled by the inverse
+of the sample fraction to estimate whole-table values. Do not apply that scaling
+to averages, minima or maxima. Small samples can miss rare categories; consider
+the sampling method and uncertainty when interpreting the result.
+
+## What aggregation does not do {#not}
+
+Aggregates run over rows the query already produced. Whether a statement can
+include [vector search](/search/vector-search)
+is described under [SQL vector search](/basics/sql#no-vector-sql). If your server
+does not support that query form, run the
+search in an SDK and aggregate its result, or materialize the search output
+first.

+
+<Badge color="red">Enterprise</Badge> [SQL runs in LanceDB Enterprise.](/sql)
+
+Full-text search is a **table function**, `fts(table, query)`, rather than a
+predicate -- it produces a relevance score alongside the matching rows, and a
+`WHERE` clause has nowhere to put one. The two string-literal arguments are
+the table name and a JSON-encoded query, built with the same query-builder
+classes used from the SDK and serialized with `.to_json()`.
+
+## Setup {#setup}
+
+Run these statements in order, sending one statement per SQL request.
+Semicolons separate the statements for clients that execute a script.
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE my_docs (id INT, text STRING, category STRING, author STRING);
+
+INSERT INTO my_docs VALUES
+    (1, 'The happy puppy runs merrily in the park', 'animals', 'Alice'),
+    (2, 'A curious kitten jumps quickly over the fence', 'animals', 'Bob'),
+    (3, 'The puppy catches a ball with great enthusiasm', 'sports', 'Alice'),
+    (5, 'Puppy training requires patience and dedication', 'training', 'Alice');
+
+CREATE INDEX ON my_docs USING fts (text);
+```
+
+<Warning>
+Phrase queries need position information, which costs extra index size --
+add `WITH (with_position = true)` to `CREATE INDEX`. Without it,
+[phrase queries](#phrase) find nothing. See
+[FTS parameters](/indexing/fts-index#fts-parameters).
+</Warning>
+
+## Basic search {#basic}
+
+The query builder produces the JSON string used as the second SQL argument.
+The SQL examples below spell out the equivalent match object so they can be
+run directly after the setup above.
+
+```python
+from lancedb.query import MatchQuery
+
+query = MatchQuery("puppy", "text")
+json_query = query.to_json()
+```
+
+```sql
+SELECT id, text, category
+FROM fts('my_docs', '{"match":{"column":"text","terms":"puppy"}}')
+LIMIT 5
+```
+
+By default the top 5 matches come back in **arbitrary order** -- select
+`_score` and order by it for relevance ranking:
+
+```sql
+SELECT id, text, _score
+FROM fts('my_docs', '{"match":{"column":"text","terms":"puppy"}}')
+ORDER BY _score DESC
+LIMIT 5
+```
+
+`_score` is a pseudo-column carrying the query's BM25 relevance for the row;
+it behaves like any other column, but exists only in a relation that came
+from `fts()`. See [Data types](/sql/data-types#pseudo-columns).
+
+## Fuzzy {#fuzzy}
+
+Tolerates typos, up to a character-edit budget:
+
+```python
+MatchQuery("pupy", "text", fuzziness=2)
+```
+
+## Phrase {#phrase}
+
+Exact phrase, or with `slop` to allow words between terms:
+
+```python
+from lancedb.query import PhraseQuery
+
+PhraseQuery("happy puppy", "text")
+PhraseQuery("puppy park", "text", slop=2)   # up to 2 words between them
+```
+
+## Boolean {#boolean}
+
+Combine queries with `&` (AND) or `|` (OR):
+
+```python
+MatchQuery("puppy", "text") & MatchQuery("happy", "text")
+MatchQuery("puppy", "text") | MatchQuery("kitten", "text")
+```
+
+## Boost {#boost}
+
+Weight a query up or down relative to another:
+
+```python
+from lancedb.query import BoostQuery
+
+BoostQuery(
+    positive=MatchQuery("puppy", "text"),
+    negative=MatchQuery("kitten", "text"),
+    negative_boost=0.2,
+)
+```
+
+## Multi-match {#multi-match}
+
+Search several columns at once, optionally weighting them differently:
+
+```python
+from lancedb.query import MultiMatchQuery
+
+MultiMatchQuery("puppy", ["text", "category"])
+MultiMatchQuery("puppy", ["text", "category"], boosts=[2.0, 1.0])  # text weighted 2x
+```
+
+## Combining with SQL {#combining}
+
+`fts()` is a relation, so it composes with the rest of the SQL surface --
+filter, join, or aggregate over it same as any table:
+
+```sql
+SELECT id, text, category
+FROM fts('my_docs', '{"match":{"column":"text","terms":"puppy"}}')
+WHERE category = 'animals'
+LIMIT 5

+| `RIGHT [OUTER] JOIN` | every right row |
+| `FULL [OUTER] JOIN` | every row from both |
+| `CROSS JOIN` | every combination -- the product of the two |
+
+`USING (col)` is shorthand for an equality join on a shared column name, and
+avoids repeating it in the select list.
+
+## Across namespaces {#namespaces}
+
+Tables in different [namespaces](/management/namespace) join by their dotted paths -- the
+catalog is one catalog, so there is nothing to federate:
+
+```sql
+SELECT c.id, u.email

+JOIN prod.reference.users AS u ON u.id = c.user_id
+```
+
+## Joining a search result {#search}
+
+[`fts()`](/sql/functions#fts) is a table function, so its result is a relation
+and joins like any other. This example assumes `my_docs` has `text` and
+`category_id` columns, a full-text index on `text`, and a `categories` table
+with `id` and `name` columns:
+
+```sql
+SELECT c.name, count(*) AS hits
+FROM fts('my_docs', '{"match":{"column":"text","terms":"puppy"}}') AS m
+JOIN categories AS c ON c.id = m.category_id
+GROUP BY c.name
+ORDER BY hits DESC
+```
+
+That composition is the reason full-text search is a relation rather than a
+predicate -- a `WHERE` clause has nowhere to put the relevance score.
+
+## Performance {#performance}
+
+A [scalar index](/indexing/scalar-index) can accelerate supported filters on
+the input tables. An index on a join key does not by itself guarantee an
+index lookup join. Use SQL [`EXPLAIN`](/sql/dql/explain) to inspect the scans,
+filters, and join chosen for the complete statement.
+
+<Warning>
+Avoid selecting blob or vector columns you do not need on either side of a join.
+The join multiplies rows before projection is applied in some plans, so a wide
+column can be materialized many more times than the result has rows.

+---
+
+<Badge color="red">Enterprise</Badge> [SQL runs in LanceDB Enterprise.](/sql)
+
+Use `TABLESAMPLE` to explore a subset of a table or estimate aggregate
+statistics. The sampling method determines how much data is read and whether
+the table's physical layout influences the sample.
+
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM documents TABLESAMPLE (10)        -- 10 percent
+SELECT * FROM documents TABLESAMPLE (500 ROWS)  -- 500 rows
+```
+
+A bare number is a **percentage**. Add `ROWS` for a count instead.
+
+## Rows or fragments {#methods}
+
+The standard calls these two methods of one clause. They are different
+operations, and the difference matters on Lance:
+
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM documents TABLESAMPLE BERNOULLI (10)
+SELECT * FROM documents TABLESAMPLE SYSTEM (10)
+```
+
+| Method | Aliases | What it picks |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `BERNOULLI` | `ROW` | rows, each considered independently |
+| `SYSTEM` | `BLOCK` | **Lance fragments**, and takes whatever rows they hold |
+
+`BERNOULLI` gives a genuinely uniform sample and reads across the whole table to
+get it. `SYSTEM` reads far less -- it skips entire fragments -- but the sample is
+only as uniform as the data's layout. If rows were written in an order that
+correlates with what you are measuring, a fragment sample inherits that
+correlation.
+
+Use `SYSTEM` for a quick look at the data and `BERNOULLI` when you need
+independent row sampling. Omitting the method gives
+`BERNOULLI`.
+
+## Repeatability {#repeatable}
+
+Without a seed, every execution resamples -- running the same query twice gives
+different rows. `REPEATABLE` fixes the draw:
+
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM documents TABLESAMPLE (10) REPEATABLE (42)
+```
+
+Use the same seed and table snapshot to reproduce a sampling run. For a fixed
+evaluation set, save the selected row IDs or materialize the sample and retain
+its version. A seed alone does not preserve membership after source changes
+or changes to the physical layout.
+
+## Where the clause can go {#placement}
+
+It attaches to a table in `FROM`, including inside a subquery, a CTE, or either
+side of a join:
+
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM documents TABLESAMPLE (10)) d
+
+SELECT * FROM a TABLESAMPLE (5 ROWS) JOIN b ON a.id = b.id
+
+SELECT * FROM t a TABLESAMPLE (10) JOIN t b TABLESAMPLE (10) ON a.id = b.id
+```
+
+Each side of a join samples independently. Sampling both sides of a join
+shrinks the *result* far more than either fraction suggests, because a row only
+survives if both its sides were drawn.
+
+## Unsupported sampling forms {#refused}
+
+Sampling is semantics, not a hint. A clause that were read and then not applied
+would be a wrong answer rather than a missing feature, so anything that cannot
+be honoured exactly is an error:
+
+| | |
+| --- | --- |
+| `TABLESAMPLE (101)` | a percentage outside `0..=100` is refused, not clamped |
+| `TABLESAMPLE (1.5 ROWS)` | a row count must be whole |
+| `TABLESAMPLE (BUCKET 1 OUT OF 4)` | bucket sampling is not supported |
+| `(SELECT ...) d TABLESAMPLE (10)` | a subquery's result cannot be sampled; sample the table inside it |
+| the `SAMPLE` spelling | use `TABLESAMPLE` |
+| the `OFFSET` modifier | not supported |
+
+<Note>
+`TABLESAMPLE` is also refused on a WAL-backed table, where the rows a sample
+would draw from are not all in the fragments yet.
+</Note>
+
+## Sampling outside SQL {#sdk}
+
+For a training loop rather than a query, the SDKs read a table in a shuffled
+order without going through SQL at all -- see [Training](/training/data-loading), where a
+permutation drives the data loader.

+[ORDER BY expr [ASC | DESC] [NULLS FIRST | LAST] [, ...]]
+[LIMIT n] [OFFSET n]
+```
+
+## Projection {#projection}
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```sql SQL
+SELECT id, title, identifier FROM documents
+```
+
+```python Python icon="python"
+tbl.search().select(["id", "title", "identifier"]).to_arrow()
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+await tbl.query().select(["id", "title", "identifier"]).toArrow();
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Name the columns you need instead of using `SELECT *`, particularly for
+tables containing images, video or large vectors. Projection lets the engine
+avoid loading unnecessary columns, although columns used by filters, joins or
+other expressions may still need to be read.
+
+Row metadata is available as [pseudo-columns](/sql/data-types#pseudo-columns)
+(`_rowid`, `_rowaddr`, `_rowoffset`) but only when named, so they stay out of
+`SELECT *`.
+
+`DISTINCT` deduplicates the projected rows.
+
+## Filtering {#filtering}
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```sql SQL
+SELECT * FROM documents
+WHERE identifier > 0 AND identifier < 1000000
+```
+
+```python Python icon="python"
+tbl.search().where("identifier > 0 AND identifier < 1000000").to_arrow()
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+await tbl.query().where("identifier > 0 AND identifier < 1000000").toArrow();
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+The SDK `where` takes the same expression language, so a predicate moves between
+them unchanged. A supported predicate can use a scalar index; confirm the chosen plan with
+[`explain_plan`](/search/explain). See
+[Filtering](/search/filtering) for the operators and their pushdown behaviour.
+
+## Ordering and limiting {#order-limit}
+
+```sql
+SELECT id, title FROM documents
+ORDER BY created_at DESC NULLS LAST
+LIMIT 100 OFFSET 200
+```
+
+`ORDER BY` on a large table is a sort over the whole result, so pair it with a
+`LIMIT` unless you genuinely need every row ordered.
+
+## Set operations {#set-operations}
+
+`UNION`, `UNION ALL`, `INTERSECT` and `EXCEPT` combine whole queries:
+
+```sql
+SELECT id FROM documents WHERE category = 'film'
+UNION ALL
+SELECT id FROM archived_documents WHERE category = 'film'
+```
+
+`UNION` deduplicates and `UNION ALL` does not, which makes `UNION ALL` the
+cheaper one when you already know the inputs are disjoint.
+
+## Common table expressions {#ctes}
+
+```sql
+WITH recent AS (
+    SELECT * FROM documents WHERE created_at > now() - INTERVAL '7 days'
+)
+SELECT category, count(*) FROM recent GROUP BY category
+```
+
+A CTE is scoped to the statement. One you want to keep is a
+[view](/management/view); one whose rows you want stored is a
+[materialized view](/management/materialized-view).
+
+## Subqueries {#subqueries}
+
+Subqueries are allowed anywhere an expression or a relation is -- in `FROM`, in
+`WHERE` with `IN` or `EXISTS`, and as a scalar in the select list:
+
+```sql
+SELECT title
+FROM documents
+WHERE category_id IN (SELECT id FROM categories WHERE active)
+```
+
+## Namespaced tables {#namespaces}
+
+A table inside a [namespace](/management/namespace) is written as a dotted path:
+
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM prod.events.clicks
+```
+
+## Reading the plan {#plans}
+
+`EXPLAIN` and `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` work as DataFusion defines them, and produce the
+same operators the SDK methods do:
+
+```sql
+EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM documents WHERE identifier < 1000
+```
+
+See [Explain](/search/explain) and [Explain Analyze](/search/explain).

+## As a relation {#derived}
+
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM (
+    SELECT category, count(*) AS n FROM documents GROUP BY category
+) AS counts
+WHERE n > 100
+```
+
+A derived table needs an alias. Its result cannot be

+
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM documents TABLESAMPLE (10)) d
+```
+
+## As a scalar {#scalar}
+
+```sql
+SELECT title, (SELECT count(*) FROM revisions r WHERE r.doc_id = d.id) AS revisions
+FROM documents AS d
+```
+
+A scalar subquery returns one column and at most one row. No rows produces
+`NULL`; more than one row is an error.
+
+## IN and EXISTS {#in-exists}
+
+```sql
+SELECT title FROM documents
+WHERE category_id IN (SELECT id FROM categories WHERE active)
+
+SELECT title FROM documents AS d
+WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM revisions r WHERE r.doc_id = d.id)
+```
+
+Use `EXISTS` to test whether a matching row exists and `IN` to test membership
+in a set of values. The optimizer may rewrite either into a join; inspect
+`EXPLAIN` before choosing one for performance reasons.
+
+`NOT IN` and `NOT EXISTS` differ on nulls: `NOT IN` against a set containing a
+null yields no rows, because the comparison is unknown rather than false. Prefer
+`NOT EXISTS` unless you have ruled nulls out.
+
+## Correlated subqueries {#correlated}
+
+A subquery referencing a column from the enclosing query, such as `d.id` above,
+is correlated, and is conceptually evaluated per outer row. The planner usually
+rewrites it into a join.
+
+<Note>
+Check with [`EXPLAIN`](/sql/dql/explain) when a correlated subquery is slow. A plan
+showing a join has been optimized; one showing a repeated scan has not, and
+rewriting it as an explicit [join](/sql/dql/join) is the fix.
+</Note>
+
+## CTEs as an alternative {#ctes}
+
+A [CTE](/sql/dql/select#ctes) is a named subquery, and is usually more readable when
+the same subquery appears twice or when nesting gets deep.
+
+```sql
+WITH active AS (SELECT id FROM categories WHERE active)
+SELECT title FROM documents WHERE category_id IN (SELECT id FROM active)

+---
+
+<Badge color="red">Enterprise</Badge> [SQL runs in LanceDB Enterprise.](/sql)
+
+A window function computes across a set of rows related to the current one and
+returns a value **per row**. That is the difference from
+[aggregation](/sql/dql/aggregation), which collapses the rows it covers.
+
+```sql
+SELECT
+    title,
+    score,
+    row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY category ORDER BY score DESC) AS rank
+FROM documents
+```
+
+Every row survives; each one gains its rank within its category.
+
+## The window {#window}
+
+```sql
+OVER (
+    [PARTITION BY expr [, ...]]
+    [ORDER BY expr [, ...]]
+    [ROWS | RANGE BETWEEN frame_start AND frame_end]
+)
+```
+
+`PARTITION BY` splits the rows into independent groups. `ORDER BY` orders them
+inside each partition. Supply an ordering for useful ranks, and a stable
+tie-breaker when selecting one row from several equal values. The frame clause narrows the window further, which is
+how running totals and moving averages are expressed:
+
+```sql
+SELECT
+    created_at,
+    sum(amount) OVER (ORDER BY created_at ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING) AS running_total,
+    avg(amount) OVER (ORDER BY created_at ROWS BETWEEN 6 PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW) AS trailing_7
+FROM transactions
+```
+
+A `WINDOW` clause names a definition when several functions share one:
+
+```sql
+SELECT
+    row_number() OVER w,
+    lag(score) OVER w
+FROM documents
+WINDOW w AS (PARTITION BY category ORDER BY score DESC)
+```
+
+## The functions {#functions}
+
+Registered in DataFusion 54.
+
+**Ranking**
+
+```text
+row_number  rank  dense_rank  percent_rank  cume_dist  ntile
+```
+
+**Offset and positional**
+
+```text
+lag  lead  first_value  last_value  nth_value
+```
+
+**Aggregates**
+
+Any [aggregate function](/sql/dql/aggregation#functions) used with `OVER` becomes a
+window function. This is how running totals and moving averages are written.
+
+## Deduplicating with a window {#dedup}
+
+The common practical use: keep one row per key, chosen by some ordering. A
+window ranks, and an outer query filters:
+
+```sql
+WITH ranked AS (
+    SELECT *, row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY doc_id ORDER BY version DESC) AS rn
+    FROM revisions
+)
+SELECT * FROM ranked WHERE rn = 1
+```
+
+The outer query is needed because a window function cannot appear in `WHERE` --
+windows are computed after filtering, so the predicate would have nothing to
+read.
+
+<Note>
+Window functions sort within each partition, so on a large table they are among
+the more expensive things you can ask for. Filter first, and check the cost with
+[Explain Analyze](/search/explain).

+LanceDB executes SQL with [Apache DataFusion](https://datafusion.apache.org),

+plus what Lance adds.
+
+| | |

+| [Scalar functions](/sql/scalar-functions) | per row — math, string, regex, date/time, array, struct, JSON |
+| [Aggregate functions](/sql/dql/aggregation#functions) | per group — `count`, `sum`, statistical, approximate |
+| [Window functions](/sql/dql/window#functions) | per window — ranking, offset, running aggregates |
+| [Table functions](#table-functions) | produce a relation rather than a value |
+
+<Note>
+Function availability is version-specific. DataFusion adds functions in most
+releases, so one documented on `main` may not exist in 54. When a name is not
+recognised, check it against the reference for that version before assuming a
+bug.
+</Note>
+
+## Table functions {#table-functions}
+
+A table function appears in `FROM` and produces a relation, which is what lets
+it return columns a scalar function has nowhere to put.
+
+### `fts(table, query)` {#fts}
+
+Full-text search is a table function rather than a predicate, because it
+produces relevance alongside the matching rows. The following query assumes
+`my_docs` has `id` and `text` columns and a full-text index on `text`; see the
+[setup example](/sql/dql/fts#setup):
+
+```sql
+SELECT id, text, _score
+FROM fts('my_docs', '{"match":{"column":"text","terms":"puppy"}}')
+ORDER BY _score DESC
+LIMIT 5
+```
+
+The second argument is a string literal containing a JSON query object. A bare
+query string such as `'puppy'` is rejected. Match, fuzzy, phrase, boolean, boost
+and multi-match queries use this JSON encoding.
+
+Its schema contains the dataset's columns plus `_score`, so every stored
+column is available in the result. Projections push into the scan.
+Being a relation is also what makes it compose — join it, filter it, aggregate
+over it. This join additionally requires `my_docs.category_id` and a
+`categories` table with `id` and `name` columns:
+
+```sql
+SELECT c.name, count(*) AS hits
+FROM fts('my_docs', '{"match":{"column":"text","terms":"puppy"}}') AS m
+JOIN categories AS c ON c.id = m.category_id
+GROUP BY c.name
+ORDER BY hits DESC
+```
+
+For a keyword test that needs no score, the
+[`contains_tokens`](/sql/scalar-functions#contains-tokens) predicate is
+index-accelerated and usable directly in `WHERE`.
+
+See [Full-Text Search](/sql/dql/fts) for the fuzzy, phrase, boolean, boost and
+multi-match query forms.
+
+### `_score` {#score}
+
+A pseudo-column produced by `fts()`, carrying relevance for the row. It behaves
+like any other column — order by it, filter on it, project it — and exists only
+in a relation that came from `fts()`. See
+[Data types](/sql/data-types#pseudo-columns).
+
+### `generate_series` {#generate-series}
+
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM generate_series(1, 10)
+```
+
+Rows from a range, useful for building a dense axis to left-join sparse data
+onto.
+
+## What Lance accelerates {#accelerated}
+
+Two function families use an index rather than scanning, which is the difference
+between a fast predicate and a slow one:
+
+| | Index used |
+| --- | --- |
+| [`contains_tokens`](/sql/scalar-functions#contains-tokens) | full-text index |
+| [`json_get`, typed variants, `json_extract`](/sql/scalar-functions#json) | JSON scalar index |
+
+Confirm with [`EXPLAIN`](/sql/dql/explain): an accelerated predicate shows an
+index node rather than a `LanceScan` followed by a filter.

+keywords: ["sql", "datafusion", "flight sql", "reference", "dialect"]
+---
+
+LanceDB Enterprise supports SQL through an Arrow Flight SQL endpoint. This
+reference covers statement syntax, data types and expressions. To set up a
+client and run your first query, see [SQL](/basics/sql).
+
+## The dialect {#dialect}
+
+LanceDB uses [Apache DataFusion](https://datafusion.apache.org) for SQL planning
+and execution. These pages describe LanceDB's supported statements and
+extensions. DataFusion's reference is useful for expression syntax, but does
+not establish that every DataFusion statement or feature is exposed by
+LanceDB.
+
+## Connecting {#connecting}
+
+Use Python's `execute_query` or a Flight SQL client after configuring the
+[Enterprise connection](/basics/sql#sql-is-remote). TypeScript applications
+use a Flight SQL client for SQL queries.
+
+```python
+reader = db.execute_query("SELECT id, text FROM my_docs LIMIT 10")
+for batch in reader:
+    print(batch)
+```
+
+SQL results arrive as Arrow record batches. Iterating over the reader avoids
+collecting the entire result in application memory. See
+[Queries](/basics/query) for result handling.
+
+## Usage {#usage}
+
+The endpoint executes one statement per request and is meant for the queries
+and DDL/DML pages below. Reach for the SDKs instead for table-management
+operations that have no SQL form, such as a merge insert -- see
+[What SQL cannot do](#cannot).
+

+<Badge color="red">Enterprise</Badge> [SQL runs in LanceDB Enterprise.](/sql)
+
+LanceDB uses DataFusion's SQL operators. This page describes comparison,
+logical and arithmetic operators, literal values, type conversions and
+operator precedence.
+
+## Comparison {#comparison}
+
+| | |
+| --- | --- |
+| `=` `!=` `<>` `<` `<=` `>` `>=` | ordinary comparison |
+| `IS NULL` / `IS NOT NULL` | null test — `= NULL` is never true |
+| `IS DISTINCT FROM` | comparison that treats null as a value |
+| `BETWEEN a AND b` | inclusive range |
+| `IN (...)` | set membership |
+| `LIKE` / `ILIKE` | pattern match, `%` and `_` |
+| `~` `~*` `!~` | regular expression match |
+
+<Note>
+For keyword matching on a text column, [`contains_tokens`](/sql/scalar-functions#contains-tokens)
+is index-accelerated where `LIKE` is not. Reach for `LIKE` only when you need
+its wildcard semantics.
+</Note>
+
+## Logical {#logical}
+
+`AND`, `OR`, `NOT`. Three-valued: a comparison against null is **unknown**, and
+`NOT unknown` is still unknown. A `WHERE` clause keeps only rows where the
+predicate is true, so unknown behaves like false there — but not inside `NOT
+IN`, which is the usual place this bites. See
+[Subqueries](/sql/dql/subqueries#in-exists).
+
+## Arithmetic {#arithmetic}
+
+`+` `-` `*` `/` `%`, with the usual precedence. String concatenation is `||`.
+
+<Warning>
+Arithmetic over a vector column is **list** arithmetic, not scalar arithmetic —
+a vector is a `FixedSizeList<Float32>`. When the operation you want is a
+similarity comparison, use [vector search](/search/vector-search); whether SQL
+can express it [depends on the Enterprise server version](/basics/sql#no-vector-sql).
+</Warning>
+
+## Literals {#literals}
+
+| | |
+| --- | --- |
+| String | `'text'` — doubled quote to escape: `'it''s'` |
+| Number | `42`, `3.14` |
+| Boolean | `TRUE`, `FALSE` |
+| Null | `NULL` |
+| Date / timestamp | `DATE '2026-01-01'`, `TIMESTAMP '2026-01-01 12:00:00'` |
+| Interval | `INTERVAL '7 days'` |
+| Array | `[1, 2, 3]` |
+
+Identifiers are quoted with double quotes when they need to be — a reserved word
+or a name with mixed case: `SELECT "order" FROM "MyTable"`.
+
+## Casting {#casting}
+
+```sql
+SELECT CAST(identifier AS VARCHAR) AS with_cast, identifier::VARCHAR AS with_colons
+FROM documents
+```
+
+Both forms work. Give each its own alias when one projection uses both: they
+produce the same expression name, and a projection refuses two columns with
+one name. `TRY_CAST` returns null instead of erroring on a value that
+will not convert, which is the one to use over a column you do not control.
+
+## Precedence {#precedence}
+
+Highest to lowest: `::` → unary `-` → `* / %` → `+ -` → `||` → comparison →
+`IS` → `NOT` → `AND` → `OR`.
+
+Parenthesize anything mixing `AND` and `OR`. `a OR b AND c` is `a OR (b AND c)`,
+which is rarely what was meant.

+description: "What a deployment does when a Flight SQL client prepares a statement or binds parameter values."

+keywords: ["prepared statement", "flight sql", "parameters", "bind"]
+---
+
+<Badge color="red">Enterprise</Badge> [SQL runs in LanceDB Enterprise.](/sql)
+
+A Flight SQL client can prepare a statement before it runs it. A deployment
+accepts that, but it keeps no plan between runs and does not accept parameter
+values.
+
+## Prepare through a Flight SQL client {#protocol}
+
+<Warning>
+There is no SQL `PREPARE` / `EXECUTE` here. Preparation is part of the
+**Arrow Flight SQL protocol**, so you reach it through your client rather than
+by sending a statement.
+</Warning>
+
+That distinction matters when porting SQL from another engine: a script
+containing `PREPARE name AS SELECT ...` will not run.
+
+## Prepare and execute {#flow}
+
+A Flight SQL client takes these steps, whatever it calls them:
+
+1. **Prepare:** send the SQL and get back a handle and the result schema. The
+   statement is parsed and planned at this point, so a syntax or name error
+   surfaces here rather than at execution.
+2. **Execute:** run the handle and read the result. The deployment plans the
+   statement again each time it runs, so reusing a handle does not save
+   planning time.
+3. **Close:** release the handle.
+
+## Parameters {#parameters}
+
+A deployment does not accept parameter values for a prepared statement. A
+client that binds values to placeholders such as `$1` and `$2` gets a "not
+implemented" error when it executes the statement. A statement with fixed,
+trusted values written into it runs as usual:
+
+```sql
+SELECT id, title FROM documents WHERE category = 'news' AND score > 0.5
+```
+
+Do not put untrusted input, such as a value from a user or a request, directly
+into the statement text. Quoting it does not protect the statement the way
+binding a parameter would.
+
+## When to use prepared statements {#when}
+
+Prepare a statement when your client requires it, or to get a statement's
+result schema and catch syntax and name errors without running it. Preparing
+does not make a repeated statement faster.
+
+To give a reusable query a name, create a [view](/management/view). To store

+keywords: ["scalar functions", "string functions", "math functions", "regex", "array functions", "json"]
+---
+
+<Badge color="red">Enterprise</Badge> [SQL runs in LanceDB Enterprise.](/sql)
+
+Functions that take a value and return a value, one row at a time. The set is
+based on DataFusion's registration plus Lance and deployment-specific
+functions. The names below are selected examples, not an exhaustive catalog
+for every deployment. Availability depends on the deployed version and build.
+
+For per-group functions see [Aggregation](/sql/dql/aggregation); for per-window,
+[Window functions](/sql/dql/window).
+
+## Math {#math}
+
+```text
+abs  ceil  floor  round  trunc  signum  power  sqrt  cbrt  exp
+ln  log  log2  log10  factorial  gcd  lcm  pi  random  nanvl
+isnan  iszero  cot  degrees  radians  to_degrees  to_radians
+sin  cos  tan  asin  acos  atan  atan2
+sinh  cosh  tanh  asinh  acosh  atanh
+```
+
+## String {#string}
+
+```text
+ascii  bit_length  btrim  chr  concat  concat_ws  contains  ends_with
+starts_with  levenshtein  lower  upper  ltrim  rtrim  octet_length
+repeat  replace  split_part  to_hex  uuid
+```
+
+Unicode-aware variants:
+
+```text
+character_length  find_in_set  initcap  left  right  lpad  rpad
+reverse  strpos  substr  substr_index  substring  translate
+```
+
+<Note>
+For keyword matching on a text column, [`contains_tokens`](#contains-tokens) is
+index-accelerated where `contains` and `LIKE` are not.
+</Note>
+
+## Regular expressions {#regex}
+
+```text
+regexp_count  regexp_instr  regexp_like  regexp_match  regexp_replace
+```
+
+## Date and time {#datetime}
+
+```text
+current_date  current_time  date_bin  date_part  date_trunc
+from_unixtime  to_unixtime  make_date  make_time  to_char
+to_date  to_time  to_local_time
+```
+
+`date_bin` is the one worth knowing for analytics: it buckets timestamps into
+fixed-width intervals, which is how you build a time series without a
+self-join.
+
+```sql
+SELECT date_bin(INTERVAL '1 hour', created_at) AS hour, count(*)
+FROM events GROUP BY hour ORDER BY hour
+```
+
+## Arrays and maps {#arrays}
+
+```text
+make_array  array_has  array_filter  array_transform  array_any_match
+array_compact  array_normalize  array_slice  arrays_zip  cardinality
+flatten  range  generate_series
+```
+
+```text
+map  map_keys  map_values  map_entries  map_extract
+```
+
+Distance functions over arrays:
+
+```text
+cosine_distance  distance  exact_distance  inner_product
+```
+
+<Warning>
+Distance functions can evaluate arrays per row. Some deployment versions also
+recognize `ORDER BY distance(vector, query_vector) LIMIT k` over a table scan
+and plan it as vector search, with indexed or flat search as appropriate.
+Where available, `exact_distance` evaluates distance without that rewrite.
+Confirm the
+functions supported by your deployment and inspect SQL
+[`EXPLAIN`](/sql/dql/explain); the function name alone does not guarantee an
+index-backed plan. See [SQL vector search](/basics/sql#no-vector-sql).
+</Warning>
+
+## Structs and fields {#structs}
+
+```text
+named_struct  get_field  coalesce  nullif  nvl  nvl2  greatest  least
+union_extract  union_tag
+```
+
+## Crypto and encoding {#crypto}
+
+```text
+digest  md5  sha224  sha256  sha384  sha512  encode  decode
+```
+
+## Type functions {#type}
+
+```text
+arrow_cast  arrow_try_cast  arrow_typeof  arrow_field  arrow_metadata
+with_metadata  version
+```
+
+Use `arrow_typeof` to inspect the Arrow data type of a column or expression:
+
+```sql
+SELECT arrow_typeof(vector) FROM documents LIMIT 1
+-- FixedSizeList(Field { name: "item", data_type: Float32, .. }, 1536)
+```
+
+`arrow_cast` casts to an Arrow type by name, reaching types SQL has no spelling
+for. See [Data types](/sql/data-types).
+
+## What Lance adds {#lance}
+
+These are registered by Lance on top of DataFusion's set.
+
+### `contains_tokens(column, tokens)` {#contains-tokens}
+
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM my_docs WHERE contains_tokens(text, 'fox jumps dog')
+```
+
+True when the column contains **all** the tokens, split on whitespace and
+punctuation. Equivalent to an `fts()` match query with fuzziness off, `AND`
+semantics and the simple tokenizer.
+
+**Index-accelerated.** When the column has a full-text index that suits the
+query, the planner uses it instead of scanning — which is the reason to prefer
+it over `LIKE` for keyword tests.
+
+### JSON accessors {#json}
+
+| Function | Returns |
+| --- | --- |
+| `json_get(col, key)` | the value at `key`, still JSON |
+| `json_get_string(col, key)` | `Utf8` |
+| `json_get_int(col, key)` | `Int64` |
+| `json_get_float(col, key)` | `Float64` |
+| `json_get_bool(col, key)` | `Boolean` |
+| `json_extract(col, path)` | `Utf8`: the value as JSON text, by path |
+| `json_extract_with_type(col, path)` | a struct of the value as JSON and a type tag, by path |
+| `json_exists(col, path)` | `Boolean` |
+| `json_array_contains(col, value)` | `Boolean` |
+| `json_array_length(col)` | length |
+
+`json_get` returns JSON, so a typed accessor can read a field inside it:
+
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM events
+WHERE json_get_string(json_get(data, 'user'), 'name') = 'Alice'
+```
+
+That works one level down. A `json_get` nested inside another `json_get` is
+refused, so reach a deeper value with `json_extract` and a JSONPath instead. It
+returns JSON text, so a string compares with its quotes:
+
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM events
+WHERE json_extract(data, '$.user.profile.name') = '"Alice"'
+```
+
+**`json_get`, its typed variants, and `json_extract` are index-accelerated** by a
+JSON scalar index on the column. The rest evaluate per row.
+
+### Geospatial {#geo}
+
+<Warning>
+Lance defines `st_*` functions on GeoArrow, but they sit behind a build feature
+**LanceDB does not ship**. Calling one returns an error naming the missing
+feature rather than an unknown-function error, and the spatial index is gated
+the same way.
+</Warning>
+
+## Additional scalar functions {#escape-hatch}
+
+SQL queries can call functions registered with the server, including functions
+not listed on this page. Consult
+[DataFusion's scalar function reference](https://datafusion.apache.org/user-guide/sql/scalar_functions.html)
+for version 54. Functions documented for a newer DataFusion release may not be
+available in your LanceDB Enterprise version.

+
+A branch is an isolated, writable line of history forked from `main` (or from any
+other branch). Anything you do on a branch (e.g., adding rows, changing the schema,
+building an index) stays on that branch, so `main` keeps serving production
+reads exactly as before. Branches are a natural fit when you want to:
+
+- Experiment with a new index, schema change, or reprocessing step without
+  affecting live queries on `main`.
+- Run a backfill or migration you'd like to validate before applying it to
+  `main`.
+- Hand a collaborator a frozen point-in-time fork while you keep writing to `main`.
+
+## How branches relate to versions and tags {#how-branches-relate-to-versions-and-tags}
+
+Every LanceDB table already tracks a linear history of [versions](/management/table#versioning),
+and you can [tag](/management/table#versioning-tag-based-versioning) a version or `checkout`
+one to read it. Branches add the missing piece: a *separate, writable* line of
+history. Where a tag is a read-only label and `checkout` is a read-only view, a
+branch forks from a point in history and then evolves on its own. Creating or
+checking out a branch hands you a new table handle whose reads and writes are
+scoped to that branch. The [comparison table](#branches-vs-tags-vs-versions) at
+the end of this page lays out when to reach for each.
+
+<Note>
+Branches are supported on local and namespace-backed tables in LanceDB OSS, as
+well as on LanceDB Enterprise (remote) tables.
+</Note>
+
+## Connect to a table {#connect-to-a-table}
+
+The branch API is identical no matter how you connect — only the connection
+itself differs between OSS and Enterprise. Establish a connection (`db`) and open
+a `table` (see [Ingesting data](/ingestion)), then use the same branch calls
+in every example that follows.
+
+### LanceDB OSS {#lancedb-oss}
+
+Point LanceDB at a local directory (or an object-storage URI) to use it as an
+embedded library.

+
+### LanceDB Enterprise {#lancedb-enterprise}
+
+<Badge color="red">Enterprise</Badge>
+
+Branching on LanceDB Enterprise works the same way as on OSS, apart from the differences
+noted below, but you connect to your
+Enterprise deployment with a `db://` URI, an API key, and your
+region and endpoint. Replace the placeholders below, including `us-east-1` if your
+deployment uses another region. In application code, load credentials from environment
+variables or a secrets manager. Once connected, open a table and use the same branch
+calls in every example that follows.

+
+## Work with branches {#work-with-branches}
+
+The lifecycle of a branch is short and predictable: fork it, write to it, reopen
+it whenever you need it, and delete it once you're done. The examples below use a
+small `quotes` table with three rows on `main`.
+
+### Create a branch {#create-a-branch}
+
+Forking from `main` returns a table handle scoped to the new branch. `main` is
+the reserved default source, so `create` needs only a name; to fork from
+somewhere else, pass a branch name, a specific version, or both.
+

+    </CodeBlock>
+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsBranchCreate}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Write to a branch {#write-to-a-branch}
+
+Writes go through the branch handle and stay there — the `main` handle keeps
+reporting its original row count. Listing branches returns a mapping of each
+branch name to its metadata, including the version it was forked from.

+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsBranchWrite}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Reopen a branch {#reopen-a-branch}
+
+A branch outlives the handle that created it. Reopen it later by name — either
+from an existing table handle or straight from the connection when you open the
+table. Both routes give you a writable handle tracking the branch's latest state.

+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsBranchReopen}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Delete a branch {#delete-a-branch}
+
+Deleting a branch removes it and its branch-local history; `main` is untouched.
+A deployment refuses to delete a branch whose columns have been promoted onto
+`main`, because `main` still depends on it.
+Before deleting a branch, make sure you've retained any results you need — see
+[Apply branch-tested changes to `main`](#apply-branch-tested-changes-to-main)
+below.

+## Apply branch-tested changes to `main` {#apply-branch-tested-changes-to-main}
+
+<Warning>
+A branch has its own writable history. Outside of the [diff and cherry-pick
+APIs](#compare-and-merge-a-branch-into-main) — which are available on
+LanceDB Enterprise and promote added columns only — LanceDB does not reconcile
+one branch's history with another or detect conflicts between them. To carry
+other accepted work forward, rerun the validated operation against `main` or
+explicitly write selected results to it.
+</Warning>
+
+How you apply a validated change depends on the type of work:
+
+- **Added columns (Enterprise):** review the branch with `diff`, then promote
+  the new columns onto `main` with `cherry_pick` (`cherryPick` in TypeScript). See
+  [Compare and promote a branch into `main`](#compare-and-merge-a-branch-into-main).
+- **Backfill or transformation:** rerun the validated job against `main`.
+- **Schema change:** apply the same reviewed schema operation to `main`.
+- **Index change:** build the index on `main` using the configuration validated
+  on the branch.
+- **Selected row results:** upsert those rows into `main` using a stable unique
+  key.
+
+### Upsert selected branch rows into `main` {#upsert-selected-branch-rows-into-main}
+
+If the result you want to retain is a set of inserted or updated rows, use
+[`merge_insert`](/ingestion/merge-insert#merge-incoming-rows-by-key) to write them to
+`main`. Despite its name, `merge_insert` is a row-ingestion operation: it
+matches incoming rows by key and does not merge branch histories.
+
+Read the rows you want from the reviewed branch, then upsert them into `main` on
+your key column — `id` in this example. Here, `candidate` is the branch handle:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">

+</CodeGroup>
+
+With LanceDB Enterprise, the synchronous Python table raises for `to_arrow()`; read
+the branch's rows with a query instead -- see
+[Avoid materializing the whole table](/search#avoid-materializing-the-whole-table).
+
+This operation transfers only the inserted or updated rows in its input. It does
+not transfer branch history, schema changes, indexes, or branch-local deletions,
+and it does not determine which rows changed after the branch was created.
+
+Reapplying an identical payload is idempotent on the key, but the operation is
+not conflict-aware. If `main` has diverged, incoming branch rows can overwrite
+newer values with the same key. Read and upsert the whole branch only when that
+overwrite is intentional; otherwise, filter the branch read to the rows you
+intend to apply.
+
+## Compare and promote a branch into `main` {#compare-and-merge-a-branch-into-main}
+
+<Badge color="red">Enterprise</Badge>
+
+On LanceDB Enterprise, branches expose two review-and-land calls: `diff`
+inspects what a branch has changed relative to `main`, and `cherry_pick`
+(`cherryPick` in TypeScript) promotes the branch's new columns onto `main` in
+place, without reissuing the branch's writes.
+
+<Info>
+`diff` and `cherry_pick` work on Enterprise (remote) tables only. On a local
+table they fail as not supported: Python raises `NotImplementedError`, and
+TypeScript and Rust return an error. A cherry-pick promotes added columns; use
+the [upsert](#upsert-selected-branch-rows-into-main) or rerun patterns above for
+row and index changes.
+</Info>
+
+### Diff a branch {#diff-a-branch}
+
+`diff` reads the branch and `main` without modifying either, and returns what
+has changed: columns added, removed or changed, indexes added or removed, row
+counts, and a list of `errors` -- the reasons a cherry-pick of the branch could
+not land now. An empty list means it could.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+diff = table.branches.diff("exp")
+
+print([c["name"] for c in diff["addedColumns"]])  # columns the branch introduced
+print(diff["baseMoved"])        # True if main has moved on since the branch's fork
+for error in diff["errors"]:    # empty when a cherry-pick could land
+    print(error["code"], error["message"])
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+const branches = await table.branches();
+const diff = await branches.diff("exp");
+
+console.log(diff.addedColumns.map((c) => c.name)); // columns the branch introduced
+console.log(diff.baseMoved);   // true if main has moved on since the branch's fork
+for (const error of diff.errors) {  // empty when a cherry-pick could land
+  console.log(error.code, error.message);
+}
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+The result also carries the versions it compared (`parentVersion`,
+`mainVersion`, `branchVersion`), `rowCountMain` and `rowCountBranch`, a
+`rowSummary`, and `removedColumns`, `changedColumns`, `addedIndexes` and
+`removedIndexes`. In Python the result is a dictionary with the same camelCase
+keys.
+
+The error codes are `baseMoved` (`main` has moved on since the version the
+branch was forked from), `rowCountMismatch`, `rowsChanged`, `columnRemoved`,
+`columnChanged`, `nothingToApply`, `noColumnChanges`, `inputColumnDependency`
+and `parentNotMain`. A code the client does not know surfaces as `unknown`, so
+older clients keep working.
+
+### Promote a branch's columns {#merge-a-branch}
+
+`cherry_pick` promotes the columns a branch added onto `main`. The server
+re-evaluates the diff when the request arrives and either lands the change or
+refuses it for the reasons `diff` would report. A refusal is not an exception:
+the call returns a result whose `status` is `"failed"`, with the reasons in
+`diff.errors`, so you can decide what to do next. Cherry-picks are not retried.
+
+Pass `dry_run=True` in Python, or `true` as the second argument in TypeScript,
+to check without landing anything. `preview.promotedColumns` lists the columns
+the cherry-pick would promote, or did.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Python icon="python"
+# Check first; this does not modify main.
+preview = table.branches.cherry_pick("exp", dry_run=True)
+print(preview["status"])                      # "ready" when it would land
+print(preview["preview"]["promotedColumns"])
+
+# Land it.
+result = table.branches.cherry_pick("exp")
+if result["status"] == "cherryPicked":
+    print("landed at main version", result["mainVersionAfter"])
+elif result["status"] == "failed":
+    for error in result["diff"]["errors"]:
+        print(error["code"], error["message"])
+```
+
+```typescript TypeScript icon="square-js"
+const branches = await table.branches();
+
+// Check first; this does not modify main.
+const preview = await branches.cherryPick("exp", true);
+console.log(preview.status);                  // "ready" when it would land
+console.log(preview.preview.promotedColumns);
+
+// Land it.
+const result = await branches.cherryPick("exp");
+if (result.status === "cherryPicked") {
+  console.log("landed at main version", result.mainVersionAfter);
+} else if (result.status === "failed") {
+  for (const error of result.diff.errors) {
+    console.log(error.code, error.message);
+  }
+}
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+`status` is `ready` (a dry run that would land), `cherryPicked` (it landed, and
+`mainVersionAfter` is the new version of `main`), `failed` (refused, or for a
+dry run, would be refused; see `diff.errors`), `notImplemented`, or `unknown`
+for a status the client does not know. A branch that does not exist raises a
+not-found error instead of returning a status.
+
+In async Python, await the same calls on an `AsyncTable`:
+`await table.branches.diff("exp")` and
+`await table.branches.cherry_pick("exp", dry_run=True)`. In Rust they are
+`Table::diff_branch` and `Table::cherry_pick`.
+
+## Build indexes on a branch {#build-indexes-on-a-branch}
+
+One of the most useful things a branch buys you is a safe place to build and
+validate an index without affecting what's in production on the `main` branch.
+Fork a branch, create your vector (ANN) and full-text search (FTS)
+indexes on it, and check recall and latency. Once you have selected a
+configuration, build the corresponding index on `main` through your normal
+deployment workflow. Because the indexes live on the branch, queries against
+`main` never see a half-built index and are never slowed down by the branch's
+build.
+
+This pattern is especially valuable on Enterprise deployments, where `main` is
+typically serving production traffic while you tune an index configuration on
+the side. A deployment builds the branch's indexes in the background, so wait
+for them before measuring.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+    <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
+    {BranchIndex}

+
+    <CodeBlock filename="Rust" language="Rust" icon="rust">
+    {RsBranchIndex}
+    </CodeBlock>
+</CodeGroup>
+
+Schema changes such as adding, altering, or dropping columns are branch-scoped in
+the same way, so you can stage and review a larger reshaping of a table before
+applying the same schema operations to `main`.
+
+## Branches vs. tags vs. versions {#branches-vs-tags-vs-versions}
+
+Now that you're familiar with branches, you can see how they complement the other ways LanceDB
+give you to work with table history. Choose these approaches based on whether you need to
+*label*, *read*, or *write* data at a point in history:
+
+| Feature | Writable? | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| **[Branch](#work-with-branches)** | ✅ Yes | Write on top of a point in history without touching `main`. |
+| **[Tag](/management/table#versioning-tag-based-versioning)** | ❌ No | Attach a human-readable label to an existing version; protects it from cleanup. |
+| **[`checkout(version)`](/management/table#versioning-rollback-to-previous-versions)** | ❌ No | Read a historical version of `main` without forking. Read-only until you `restore`. |
+
+<Note>
+For linear version history — creating versions, listing them, rolling back, and
+tagging — see the [Versioning and Reproducibility](/management/table#versioning) guide.

+import { PyReadConsistency } from '/snippets/read_consistency.mdx';
+
+## Table snapshots and freshness {#consistency}
+
+Each table read uses one committed version of the data. **Freshness** describes
+whether that version includes recent writes. For example, after another
+application appends records, an already-open table handle can still read the
+version from before the append.
+
+For example, a dashboard may need the latest updates, while an experiment may
+need to keep reading a specific table version. Use read freshness settings for the dashboard and an explicit table version
+for the experiment.
+
+## Visibility of writes {#visibility}
+
+In **OSS**, a table handle sees its own committed writes. By default, it does
+not automatically check for changes made through other handles or processes.
+Use a read consistency interval or `checkout_latest()` to pick up those changes.
+
+In **Enterprise**, readers use the service's configured freshness policy.
+A connection can request fresher data. When a read must include a completed
+write, use a zero interval or call `checkout_latest()` after the write, with a
+client and server that support these freshness controls.
+
+## Configure read freshness {#configure-consistency-parameters}
+
+Set `read_consistency_interval` when connecting. This controls when reads
+pick up newer table versions; it does not change how writes commit.
+
+| Setting | OSS | Enterprise |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| **Unset** | Keep the open table version until explicitly refreshed or changed by that handle. | Use the service's configured freshness policy. |
+| **Zero** | Check for the latest committed version on every read. | Request the latest committed version on every read. |
+| **Non-zero interval** | Check for updates on a read once the interval since the last check has elapsed. | Request data no older than the interval allows; the service may return fresher data. |
+
+`checkout_latest()` explicitly refreshes an OSS table handle. On Enterprise it
+asks subsequent reads on that handle to reflect data at least as recent as the
+refresh request. To read a fixed historical version instead, use
+[table versioning](/management/table#versioning).

+icon: boxes-stacked
+availability:

+  summary: >-
+    Streaming, shuffling and resuming training data work with local,
+    object-storage and deployment tables in the Python SDK.
+---
+
+LanceDB provides an excellent data backend for training machine learning models. For basic use cases, a `Table` can be fed directly into a data loader. For a more complete solution, a `StreamingDataset` adds prefetching, elastic determinism, resumability, multithreaded transformations, and more.
+
+## Basic Data Loading
+
+Most model training frameworks feed data into a model by sequencing through successive batches, a process 
+often referred to as **data loading**. The simplest way to perform data loading is to read a LanceDB table in batches,
+in the order its rows are stored, through an identity `Permutation`. A table itself is not iterable.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```py Python icon=Python
+import lancedb
+from lancedb.permutation import Permutation
+
+db = lancedb.connect("file://some/db/path")
+table = db.open_table("some_table")
+
+for batch in Permutation.identity(table).with_format("arrow").iter(batch_size=1024):
+    print(batch.to_pydict())
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+## Advanced Data Loading
+Advanced data loading scenarios can be handled by the `StreamingDataset`. This object allows you to apply preprocessing before training, pipelined reads, and more. Use this when the training data does not fit in memory, or when you need deterministic global batches across cluster sizes.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```py Python icon=Python
+import lancedb
+import torch
+from lancedb.streaming import StreamingDataset
+
+db = lancedb.connect("file://some/db/path")
+table = db.open_table("some_table")
+
+dataset = StreamingDataset(table, shuffle_seed=42)
+dataloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
+    dataset,
+    batch_size=128,
+    num_workers=0,
+)
+
+for batch in dataloader:
+    train_step(batch)
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+The `StreamingDataset` wraps a LanceDB `Table` and yields plain Python dictionaries by default. Whether iterating directly or through a PyTorch `DataLoader`, only one iterator can be simultaneously active on a `StreamingDataset` instance. 
+
+<Note>
+`StreamingDataset` is built on the `permutation` API and works with both LanceDB OSS and LanceDB Enterprise. The underlying table data can live on local disk or object storage.
+</Note>
+
+To understand the wide range of scenarios handled by `StreamingDataset`, consider a model trained with stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and distributed data parallelism (DDP). In this example, we need to load batches onto multiple GPUs
+across multiple servers. After each batch is processed, the GPUs exchange weights and the next batch is loaded. We
+fix the following terminology:
+
+- **World size** - The number of GPUs being loaded simultaneously. For example, if we have $2$ servers with $4$
+  GPUs each, the world size is $8$.
+- **Rank** - The identifier of an individual GPU. It is an integer in the range `[0, world_size)`.
+  Each rank is allocated a disjoint portion of the source data.
+- **Batch size** - The number of rows processed by one GPU in a single training step. For example, $128$.
+- **Global batch size** - The total number of rows processed across all GPUs in a training step (sometimes called a "minibatch" in machine learning literature). For
+  example, if we have $8$ GPUs with batch size $128$, the global batch size is $1024$.
+
+
+Other concepts, such as read batch size and `num_workers`, are introduced in the relevant sections below.
+
+### Filtering
+
+The `StreamingDataset` object allows you to train models on only the subset of rows that satisfy a user-defined filter, specified using the `filter` parameter. This can be useful for removing large rows, badly-sourced data, and a wide range of other applications. 
+You can also use the `columns` parameter to load only a subset of columns.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```py Python icon=Python
+ds = StreamingDataset(
+    table,
+    shuffle_seed=42,
+    columns=["image", "label"],       # skip all other columns
+    filter="category = 'train'",      # only training rows
+)
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Shuffling Rows
+
+In model training, model quality can be hurt by unintentionally learning patterns in the ordering of the source data. Shuffling the dataset before training alleviates this problem. However, fetching rows with scattered sparse reads across object storage can be dramatically slower than fetching contiguous batches. `StreamingDataset` shuffles at one of two granularities, selected by the `shuffle_clump_size` parameter.
+
+<Note>
+`StreamingDataset` shuffle seeds combine `shuffle_seed` with `epoch`; each epoch produces a different permutation while runs
+with the same inputs remain reproducible. Set `shuffle_seed = None` to generate a random seed upon pipeline initialization.
+</Note>
+
+#### Row-Level Shuffle {#one-phase-shuffle}
+
+By default, `shuffle_clump_size` is `None` and rows are shuffled individually: the rows of the source dataset are shuffled according to a pseudorandom permutation, then fed in batches to the accelerator. This gives the best possible randomness, but can exhibit low throughput.
+
+
+<CodeGroup> 
+```py Python icon=Python 
+# 1-phase shuffled read: rows shuffled individually.
+for epoch in range(num_epochs): 
+    ds = StreamingDataset( 
+        table, 
+        shuffle_seed=42, 
+        epoch=epoch, # changes the permutation each epoch 
+    ) 
+    for sample in ds: 
+        train_step(sample)
+
+#Evaluation: deterministic sequential order, no shuffle.
+eval_ds = StreamingDataset(table, shuffle=False)
+for sample in eval_ds:
+    eval_step(sample)
+```
+
+</CodeGroup>
+
+
+#### Clumped Shuffle {#two-phase-shuffle}
+
+Setting `shuffle_clump_size` to an integer shuffles contiguous groups ("clumps") of that many rows instead of single rows. Each clump keeps its rows in storage order and moves as a unit, so storage I/O consists mostly of contiguous reads rather than single-row fetches. Larger clumps improve I/O locality, which matters most on object storage, at the cost of randomness.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```py Python icon=Python
+# Clumped shuffled read: rows are shuffled in groups of contiguous rows
+# instead of individually, trading a bit of randomness for much cheaper I/O.
+for epoch in range(num_epochs):
+    ds = StreamingDataset(
+        table,
+        shuffle_seed=42,
+        epoch=epoch,
+        shuffle_clump_size=1024,   # contiguous rows that move together
+    )
+    for sample in ds:
+        train_step(sample)
+
+# Evaluation: deterministic sequential order, no shuffle.
+eval_ds = StreamingDataset(table, shuffle=False)
+for sample in eval_ds:
+    eval_step(sample)
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Parallelism & Elasticity
+
+When loading data, `StreamingDataset` partitions the the source dataset among disjoint parallel threads called **splits**. Each rank is allocated a contiguous group of splits, and each DataLoader worker associated to a rank gets a contiguous subgroup of its rank's splits.
+
+If using `shuffle=False`, data is allocated to splits naively in ordered contiguous blocks of equal size. With `shuffle=True`
+(the default), the rows of the source dataset are shuffled and distributed among splits such that each split receives the same
+number of rows; with `shuffle_clump_size` set, they are shuffled in clumps of that many contiguous rows.
+
+The number of splits defaults to `world_size` if `num_splits` is omitted during initialization. This is not recommended, as a later run using a different world size will then construct a different layout and structure of global batches.
+
+To get **elastic determinism**, choose a fixed `num_splits` that is compatible with every topology you plan to use.
+For example, a run with `num_splits=8` and $4$ GPUs assigns $2$ splits to each rank. The ranks pull from their splits in
+round-robin order, producing the same global batches as a run with $8$ GPUs and the same `num_splits`, `shuffle_seed`,
+and `epoch`.
+
+The following constraints apply:
+
+- `num_splits` must be divisible by `world_size`.
+- With DataLoader worker processes, `num_splits` must be divisible by `world_size * num_workers`.
+- For the same samples to form each global training step across topologies, `global_batch_size` must be a multiple of
+  `num_splits`.
+- The filtered row count must be at least `num_splits`. If it is not evenly divisible by `num_splits`, up to
+  `num_splits - 1` surplus rows are dropped so that every split has the same length.
+
+For example, to switch between $8$ and $6$ GPUs, use a common multiple such as $24$ for `num_splits`. Highly composite values can support many layouts; for example, `num_splits = 48` is compatible with $10$ distinct possible GPU counts. Remember to include `num_workers` when checking divisibility.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```py Python icon=Python
+import torch.distributed as dist
+
+dist.init_process_group("nccl")
+rank = dist.get_rank()
+world_size = dist.get_world_size()
+
+# num_splits=48 is divisible by many integers,
+# so this dataset works unchanged as you add or remove GPUs.
+ds = StreamingDataset(
+    table,
+    num_splits=48,
+    shuffle_seed=42,
+    epoch=current_epoch,
+    rank=rank,
+    world_size=world_size,
+)
+
+for sample in ds:
+    train_step(sample)
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Fetching
+
+Traditional datasets have often been designed to yield a single sample at a time upon iteration. However, in modern use cases,  accessing data on object storage one row at a time introduces too much per-call overhead. Thus, `StreamingDataset` fetches data in read batches, whose size is controlled by the `read_batch_size` parameter (defaults = `64`).
+
+In addition to batching requests, the prefetching mechanism reads ahead in the background. While one batch is being processed, `StreamingDataset` reads several subsequent batches. The `io_queue_depth` parameter specifies the number of batches simultaneously kept in flight per split (default = `4`); it replaces `prefetch_batches`, which still works but is deprecated. A larger value provides more buffering against jittery workloads, but also increases memory use and I/O concurrency.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```py Python icon=Python
+ds = StreamingDataset(
+    table,
+    shuffle_seed=42,
+    read_batch_size=256,   # rows fetched per LanceDB call per split
+    io_queue_depth=8,      # batches to keep in flight per split
+)
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+### Transforming
+
+Many model training workloads require performing a transformation to the data after it is loaded from object storage and before it is passed to the GPU. For example, we may need to decode images, tokenize text, or normalize vectors. A transformation function can be provided using the `transform` parameter. 
+
+A transformation function must receive a PyArrow `RecordBatch` and return an iterable. For example, the default transform function returns a list of Python dictionaries. Furthermore, the input expected by PyTorch must match the collation function used in the PyTorch data loader. PyTorch's default collation function accepts a Python dictionary and several other types, and is thus compatible with the default `StreamingDataset` transform function. If your custom transform function returns something different (for example, Arrow record batches), you may need to provide a compatible PyTorch collation function.
+
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```py Python icon=Python
+import pyarrow as pa
+
+def normalize(batch: pa.RecordBatch) -> list[dict]:
+    # This pure-Python loop holds the GIL and is shown for illustration only.
+    # In practice, prefer a library like torchvision or numpy that releases the
+    # GIL so the ThreadPoolExecutor can run transforms in parallel.
+    rows = batch.to_pylist()
+    for row in rows:
+        row["image"] = [v / 255.0 for v in row["image"]]
+    return rows
+
+ds = StreamingDataset(table, shuffle_seed=42, transform=normalize)
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+`StreamingDataset` manages expensive transforms through a
+`ThreadPoolExecutor` whose worker count equals the number of available CPUs. Furthermore, transformations are applied to batches (instead of individual samples) to amortize per-batch overhead. 
+
+##### DataLoader Workers
+
+The thread-based transformation model that `StreamingDataset` uses by default is only effective when the transform
+function releases the GIL. This is true for many Python scientific libraries, including NumPy, PyArrow, and
+TorchVision, but not for pure-Python transforms. PyTorch can launch multiple DataLoader worker processes per rank,
+and `StreamingDataset` uses `get_worker_info()` to give each worker a non-overlapping group of splits.
+
+Multiprocessing adds pickling and transfer overhead and increases memory use. Start with `num_workers=0`, which keeps
+loading in the rank's main process, and add workers only after confirming an unavoidable GIL bottleneck. If you use
+workers, `num_splits` must be divisible by `world_size * num_workers`. Use the `forkserver` or `spawn` multiprocessing
+context because LanceDB uses internal threads.
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+dataloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
+    dataset,
+    batch_size=batch_size,
+    num_workers=2,
+    multiprocessing_context="forkserver",
+    persistent_workers=True,
+)
+```
+
+By default, `StreamingDataset` serializes enough table state to reopen the table in each worker. For custom connection
+setup, pass a picklable `connection_factory` callable that accepts a table name and returns an open table. This avoids
+serializing connection credentials into worker state.
+
+### Observability
+
+Optimizing data loader performance can be tricky, as runtime bottlenecks are often difficult to locate across various stages of the I/O and CPU pipelines. To help distinguish bottlenecks, `StreamingDataset` exposes several pipeline counters: `raw_queue_depth` shows the number of loaded rows waiting to be transformed,
+and `prefetch_queue_depth` is the number of transformed rows ready to be consumed. `unscanned_rows` and
+`consumed_rows` show how far the current iterator has progressed.
+
+If the `prefetch_queue_depth` is consistently zero but the `raw_queue_depth` is not, then you likely have a CPU
+transformation bottleneck. You should investigate GIL bottlenecks or look for ways to optimize your transformation.
+This can often be done by batching the compute work. If both `prefetch_queue_depth` and `raw_queue_depth` are
+consistently zero while the consumer is waiting, I/O is the likely bottleneck. A larger read batch size or clumped
+shuffling could help.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```py Python icon=Python
+import threading, time
+
+ds = StreamingDataset(table, shuffle_seed=42)
+
+def log_pipeline_health():
+    while True:
+        print(
+            f"unscanned={ds.unscanned_rows} "
+            f"raw={ds.raw_queue_depth} "
+            f"cooked={ds.prefetch_queue_depth} "
+            f"consumed={ds.consumed_rows}"
+        )
+        time.sleep(1.0)
+
+monitor = threading.Thread(target=log_pipeline_health, daemon=True)
+monitor.start()
+
+for sample in ds:
+    train_step(sample)
+
+print(
+    f"bytes loaded: {ds.bytes_loaded} "
+    f"fetch time: {ds.fetch_time:.2f}s "
+    f"transform time: {ds.transform_time:.2f}s"
+)
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+`bytes_loaded` measures raw Arrow buffer bytes before transformation. `bytes_loaded`, `fetch_time`, and `transform_time`
+are cumulative across iterations of the same dataset instance; because work runs concurrently, the summed stage times
+can exceed wall-clock time. The queue depths report rows currently waiting in the pipeline, and the progress counters
+reflect the latest iterator snapshot.
+
+### Checkpointing 
+`StreamingDataset` provides checkpointing in case your model training fails partway through a run. Use `StreamingDataset.state_dict()` to capture the current number of samples consumed from each split in a Python dictionary, and `load_state_dict()` to restore the last saved position. 
+
+A stored `StreamingDataset` state reflects only round-robin cycles that have been completed across all splits; samples completed partway through a cycle at the time of saving can be replayed. To ensure efficient saving, make sure `global_batch_size` is a multiple of `num_splits`, as in the example below. 
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```py Python icon=Python
+import torch
+
+global_batch_size = 48  # one sample per split in each global step
+batch_size = global_batch_size // world_size
+
+dataset = StreamingDataset(
+    table,
+    num_splits=48,
+    shuffle_seed=42,
+    epoch=current_epoch,
+    rank=rank,
+    world_size=world_size,
+)
+dataloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
+    dataset,
+    batch_size=batch_size,
+    num_workers=0,
+)
+
+for step, batch in enumerate(dataloader):
+    train_step(batch)
+
+    if (step + 1) % checkpoint_interval == 0:
+        torch.save(
+            {"model": model.state_dict(), "dataset": dataset.state_dict()},
+            f"checkpoint_{step + 1}.pt",
+        )
+
+# --- resuming after a crash ---
+checkpoint = torch.load("checkpoint_100.pt")
+model.load_state_dict(checkpoint["model"])
+
+dataset_state = checkpoint["dataset"]
+dataset = StreamingDataset(
+    table,
+    num_splits=dataset_state["num_splits"],
+    shuffle_seed=dataset_state["shuffle_seed"],
+    epoch=dataset_state["epoch"],
+    rank=rank,
+    world_size=world_size,  # may differ from the run that saved the checkpoint
+)
+dataset.load_state_dict(dataset_state)
+dataloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
+    dataset,
+    batch_size=global_batch_size // world_size,
+    num_workers=0,
+)
+
+for batch in dataloader:
+    train_step(batch)
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+`load_state_dict()` rejects a checkpoint whose `num_splits` or `shuffle_seed` differs from the new dataset. For an
+exact resume, also use the same table snapshot, `epoch`, `shuffle`, `filter`, and other data-selection settings. The
+`world_size` and number of DataLoader workers may change as long as the split and batch-size divisibility constraints
+still hold.
+
+##### Checkpointing with Multiple DataLoader Workers
+
+Python's built-in `torch.utils.data.DataLoader` produces a safe checkpoint when `num_workers = 0`. With `num_workers > 0`, calling `state_dict()` often raises `RuntimeError`. In this case, use `StreamingDataLoader` for multi-worker prefetch and exact resumability. It carries a state snapshot
+alongside every internal batch and commits it to the parent `StreamingDataset` only when that batch is returned to the
+trainer. The trainer receives the same collated batch it would receive from a standard `DataLoader`.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```py Python icon=Python
+from lancedb.streaming import StreamingDataset, StreamingDataLoader
+
+dataset = StreamingDataset(
+    table,
+    num_splits=48,
+    shuffle_seed=42,
+    epoch=current_epoch,
+    rank=rank,
+    world_size=world_size,
+)
+dataloader = StreamingDataLoader(
+    dataset,
+    batch_size=batch_size,
+    num_workers=4,
+)
+
+for step, batch in enumerate(dataloader):
+    train_step(batch)
+
+    if (step + 1) % checkpoint_interval == 0:
+        torch.save(
+            {"model": model.state_dict(), "dataset": dataset.state_dict()},
+            f"checkpoint_{step + 1}.pt",
+        )
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+`StreamingDataLoader` accepts the same arguments as `torch.utils.data.DataLoader`, with a few restrictions:
+
+- `dataset` must be a `StreamingDataset` (subclasses that override `__iter__` are not supported).
+- `in_order = True` is required so that consumer-committed checkpoints stay deterministic.
+- `persistent_workers = True` is not supported, because prefetched worker copies cannot be restored from parent-committed state.
+- `drop_last = True` is not supported, because incomplete tails discarded by worker replicas cannot be checkpointed topology-independently.
+
+With more than one worker, call `state_dict()` at a complete logical step boundary where every split assigned to the
+rank has the same consumed-sample count. Calling it mid-step raises `RuntimeError` asking you to consume more batches
+first.
+
+##### Resuming Across Different Topologies
+
+When training across ranks, each rank owns its own subset of splits and only its own splits have exact progress. To
+resume on a different `world_size`, collect the `state_dict()` from every rank of the previous run and merge them with
+`StreamingDataset.merge_state_dicts` before calling `load_state_dict()` on the new run. The merge is topology-agnostic:
+pass the full list of per-rank states in, and hand the identical merged dict to every rank of the resumed job,
+regardless of whether the topology grew, shrank, or stayed the same.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```py Python icon=Python
+# On each rank of the previous run:
+state = dataset.state_dict()
+# ...gather `state` from every rank into a single list `states` (for example
+# via torch.distributed all-gather or by saving one file per rank).
+
+merged = StreamingDataset.merge_state_dicts(states)
+
+# On each rank of the resumed run (world_size may differ):
+dataset = StreamingDataset(
+    table,
+    num_splits=merged["num_splits"],
+    shuffle_seed=merged["shuffle_seed"],
+    epoch=merged["epoch"],
+    rank=rank,
+    world_size=new_world_size,
+)
+dataset.load_state_dict(merged)
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+## Permutations
+
+In specific use cases, you may need the flexibility to shuffle, split, and select data without using the full `StreamingDataset` object. In these cases, use `Permutation`, the lower-level functionality on which `StreamingDataset`
+is built. A `Permutation` defines a customizable row ordering, and supports map-style access through `__getitem__()`
+and batched access through `__getitems__()`.
+
+##### Version Pinning
+
+A `Permutation` is pinned to the version of its base table at the time it was constructed, and every read (including future reads
+from a `StreamingDataset` that wraps it, and every DataLoader worker after it starts) resolves against that pinned
+version. This makes iteration deterministic across compactions and worker restarts: the permutation only addresses rows
+that existed when it was built, and rows appended to the base table afterwards are not visible through the existing
+permutation.
+
+To include newly appended rows, build a new `Permutation` (and any `StreamingDataset` that depends on it)
+against the updated table. Permutations written before this behavior shipped continue to
+read as they did before.

+title: "Object Detection for AV Perception"
+sidebarTitle: "Object Detection"
+description: End-to-end fine-tuning of a Faster R-CNN object detector on curated dashcam slices, using LanceDB as the data backbone from raw frames to checkpoints.
+icon: car
+---
+
+This example walks through fine-tuning an autonomous vehicle (AV) perception model on targeted failure-mode slices of [BDD100K](https://www.bdd100k.com/) — riders, nighttime pedestrians, and distant pedestrians — using LanceDB as a single multimodal table from raw JPEG bytes through to the PyTorch training loop.
+
+The full pipeline lives in the [lancedb/training](https://github.com/lancedb/training/tree/main/object-detection) repository. This page focuses on the parts most relevant to training: defining curated splits as materialized views, loading them through the [`Permutation`](/training/data-loading) API, and pinning checkpoints to an exact data version.
+
+## What you get {#what-you-get}
+
+Fine-tuning Faster R-CNN ResNet50 FPN v2 for 10 epochs on each curated slice (batch size 64, AMP, A100), starting from the same COCO-pretrained checkpoint and evaluating on the matching validation view:
+
+| Failure mode | Metric | Baseline (COCO) | Fine-tuned | Δ% |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **Nighttime pedestrian** | mAP@0.5 | 0.4025 | **0.5192** | **+29.0%** |
+|                          | Recall  | 0.5923 | **0.7570** | **+27.8%** |
+| **Rider**                | mAP@0.5 | 0.5563 | **0.6676** | **+20.0%** |
+|                          | Recall  | 0.6788 | **0.7847** | **+15.6%** |
+| **Distant pedestrian**   | mAP@0.5 | 0.4746 | **0.5788** | **+22.0%** |
+|                          | Recall  | 0.6794 | **0.8024** | **+18.1%** |
+
+No external data added — only training-distribution correction via SQL filters over a single Lance table. Each panel below shows the same frame with three overlaid predictions: **green** = ground truth · **red** = pretrained COCO baseline · **blue** = fine-tuned model.

+
+![Distant pedestrian detection — ground truth vs baseline vs fine-tuned](/static/assets/images/training/distant_person_00.jpg)
+
+The rest of the page walks through the pipeline that produced these checkpoints.
+
+## The failure modes {#the-failure-modes}
+
+A perception model fine-tuned on a generic dataset typically misses the long-tail scenarios that matter most in deployment. Three common failure modes drive this example:
+
+| Failure mode | Curation signal |
+|---|---|
+| **Riders** (person on bike/motorcycle) | `has_rider = true` |
+| **Nighttime pedestrians** | `timeofday = 'night' AND has_person = true` |
+| **Distant pedestrians** | `has_person = true AND person_bbox_area_pct < 30.0` |
+
+Each curated slice becomes a [Geneva materialized view](/geneva/jobs/materialized-views) — a named, refreshable SQL filter over the source table — and the training script loads it by name. New footage flows in through `add()` → `backfill()` → `refresh()`; no manifests, no exports, no reshuffling on disk.
+
+## 1\. Schema {#1-schema}
+
+The source table holds raw image bytes alongside structured annotations. Bounding boxes are stored as a parallel list (one element per box) rather than a nested struct so they remain directly queryable with SQL.
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+import pyarrow as pa
+
+BDD_SCHEMA = pa.schema([
+    pa.field("image_id",   pa.string()),
+    pa.field("split",      pa.string()),         # "train" | "val"
+    pa.field("image_bytes", pa.large_binary()),  # raw JPEG
+    pa.field("width",      pa.int32()),
+    pa.field("height",     pa.int32()),
+
+    # scene metadata
+    pa.field("weather",    pa.string()),
+    pa.field("scene",      pa.string()),
+    pa.field("timeofday",  pa.string()),
+
+    # annotations — parallel lists, one element per box
+    pa.field("ann_categories", pa.list_(pa.string())),
+    pa.field("ann_bboxes",     pa.list_(pa.list_(pa.float32()))),
+    pa.field("ann_occluded",   pa.list_(pa.bool_())),
+])
+```
+
+Ingestion streams `pa.RecordBatch`es of raw frames + annotations directly into a Lance table — no intermediate preprocessing job. The table can live on local disk, S3, GCS, or Azure; everything downstream (backfills, views, the training loader) opens it in place via `lancedb.connect("s3://...")` with no local copy step.
+
+## 2\. Backfill curation features with Geneva {#2-backfill-curation-features-with-geneva}
+
+Curation signals are added as columns on the same table using [Geneva backfilling](/geneva/jobs/backfilling). Backfills are incremental and checkpointed: re-running the command after new footage arrives only computes the new rows.
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+import pyarrow as pa
+from geneva.transformer import udf
+
+# Tier 1 — CPU, derived from annotations alone
+@udf(data_type=pa.bool_(), input_columns=["ann_categories"])
+def has_rider(ann_categories: list[str]) -> bool:
+    return "rider" in (ann_categories or [])
+
+# Tier 2 — GPU, runs a Faster R-CNN to find the largest detected person
+# as a percentage of frame area. <30% = a distant or small pedestrian,
+# the hard case we want to upweight in training.
+@udf(data_type=pa.float32(),
+     input_columns=["image_bytes", "width", "height"],
+     cuda=True, num_gpus=1)
+class PersonBboxAreaPct:
+    def __init__(self):
+        self._model = None
+
+    def __call__(self, image_bytes, width, height):
+        # lazy model load — runs once per Ray worker, then reused
+        ...
+```
+
+Run the backfill against the live table:
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+import geneva
+
+gconn = geneva.connect("data/bdd100k/lancedb")
+tbl   = gconn.open_table("bdd100k")
+
+tbl.add_columns({"has_rider": has_rider})
+tbl.add_columns({"person_bbox_area_pct": PersonBboxAreaPct()})
+
+with gconn.local_ray_context():
+    tbl.backfill("has_rider")
+    tbl.backfill("person_bbox_area_pct")
+```
+
+<Note>
+Because the curation features are flat scalar columns on the same table, all four retrieval modes — SQL, full-text search, vector search, and SQL-filtered vector search — work directly without joins or exports. See [Geneva backfilling](/geneva/jobs/backfilling) for how a backfill fills only the rows that lack values.
+</Note>
+
+## 3\. Define training splits as materialized views {#3-define-training-splits-as-materialized-views}
+
+A training split is a named SQL filter, not a CSV manifest. Each view stays in sync with the source table and bumps its `version` on every refresh — the link between a checkpoint and the exact data that produced it.
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+import geneva
+
+gconn = geneva.connect("data/bdd100k/lancedb")
+gtbl  = gconn.open_table("bdd100k")
+
+VIEWS = {
+    "bdd100k_rider_train":
+        "has_rider = true AND split = 'train'",
+    "bdd100k_rider_val":
+        "has_rider = true AND split = 'val'",
+    "bdd100k_nighttime_person_train":
+        "timeofday = 'night' AND has_person = true AND split = 'train'",
+    "bdd100k_nighttime_person_val":
+        "timeofday = 'night' AND has_person = true AND split = 'val'",
+    "bdd100k_distant_person_train":
+        "has_person = true AND person_bbox_area_pct < 30.0 AND split = 'train'",
+    "bdd100k_distant_person_val":
+        "has_person = true AND person_bbox_area_pct < 30.0 AND split = 'val'",
+}
+
+with gconn.local_ray_context():
+    for name, sql_filter in VIEWS.items():
+        query = gtbl.search().where(sql_filter)
+        mv = gconn.create_materialized_view(name, query)
+        mv.refresh()
+        print(f"[{name}]  {mv.count_rows()} rows  (version {mv.version})")
+```
+
+## 4\. PyTorch DataLoader via the Permutation API {#4-pytorch-dataloader-via-the-permutation-api}
+
+The training script doesn't know about the filter — it opens a view by name and reads through the [`Permutation`](/training/data-loading) API. Each DataLoader worker reopens its own connection lazily, reads Arrow batches directly from Lance (zero-copy, no intermediate file format), and the collate function decodes the whole batch in one pass. `Permutation` provides random-access indexing over the table, so shuffling is a cheap pointer rewrite rather than a full-dataset shuffle on disk.
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+import lancedb
+import torch
+import torchvision.io as tio
+from lancedb.permutation import Permutation
+
+DETECTION_COLS = ["image_bytes", "ann_categories", "ann_bboxes"]
+
+class LanceDetectionDataset(torch.utils.data.Dataset):
+    def __init__(self, uri: str, table_name: str):
+        self.uri, self.table_name = uri, table_name
+        self._perm = None
+        self.length = len(lancedb.connect(uri).open_table(table_name))
+
+    def __len__(self):
+        return self.length
+
+    def __getstate__(self):
+        # Permutation holds Rust async state — zero it so each worker reopens
+        state = self.__dict__.copy()
+        state["_perm"] = None
+        return state
+
+    def _ensure_open(self):
+        if self._perm is None:
+            tbl = lancedb.connect(self.uri).open_table(self.table_name)
+            self._perm = (
+                Permutation.identity(tbl)
+                .select_columns(DETECTION_COLS)
+                .with_format("arrow")  # zero-copy
+            )
+
+    def __getitems__(self, indices: list[int]):
+        self._ensure_open()
+        return self._perm.__getitems__(indices)
+```
+
+The collate function decodes JPEG bytes and converts BDD category strings into COCO class IDs (so the comparison against the pretrained checkpoint is valid):
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+BDD_LABEL_MAP = {
+    "person": 1, "rider": 1, "bicycle": 2, "car": 3, "motorcycle": 4,
+    "bus": 6, "train": 7, "truck": 8, "traffic light": 10,
+}
+
+
+def detection_collate(batch):
+    images, targets = [], []
+    for raw, cats, bboxes in zip(
+        batch.column("image_bytes").to_pylist(),
+        batch.column("ann_categories").to_pylist(),
+        batch.column("ann_bboxes").to_pylist(),
+    ):
+        buf = torch.frombuffer(bytearray(raw), dtype=torch.uint8)
+        images.append(tio.decode_image(buf, tio.ImageReadMode.RGB).float() / 255.0)
+
+        valid_boxes, valid_labels = [], []
+        for cat, box in zip(cats or [], bboxes or []):
+            lid = BDD_LABEL_MAP.get(cat)
+            if lid is None or box[2] <= box[0] or box[3] <= box[1]:
+                continue
+            valid_boxes.append(box)
+            valid_labels.append(lid)
+        targets.append({
+            "boxes":  torch.tensor(valid_boxes  or [], dtype=torch.float32).reshape(-1, 4),
+            "labels": torch.tensor(valid_labels or [], dtype=torch.int64),
+        })
+    return images, targets
+```
+
+Wire it into a standard `torch.utils.data.DataLoader`:
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+def make_loader(uri, table_name, batch_size=64, num_workers=8, shuffle=False):
+    dataset = LanceDetectionDataset(uri, table_name)
+    sampler = torch.utils.data.RandomSampler(dataset) if shuffle else None
+    return torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
+        dataset,
+        batch_size=batch_size,
+        sampler=sampler,
+        num_workers=num_workers,
+        collate_fn=detection_collate,
+        pin_memory=torch.cuda.is_available(),
+        persistent_workers=(num_workers > 0),
+        multiprocessing_context="spawn" if num_workers > 0 else None,
+    )
+```
+
+<Note>
+`with_format("arrow")` keeps batches as zero-copy `pa.RecordBatch`es — no per-row Python boxing, no pickling between worker and main. Each DataLoader worker reopens its own `Permutation` after fork (the Rust async handle is cleared in `__getstate__`), so reads scale with `num_workers` and stream straight from the underlying object store. JPEG decode overlaps with GPU compute via `pin_memory` + `prefetch_factor`, which is what keeps the loader from becoming the bottleneck on a fast GPU.
+</Note>
+
+## 5\. Fine-tune Faster R-CNN {#5-fine-tune-faster-r-cnn}
+
+The training loop is plain PyTorch — the Lance integration ends at the loader. Mixed precision is enabled on CUDA for ~2× speedup on Ampere GPUs.
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+import time

+
+## 6\. Pin the checkpoint to a data version {#6-pin-the-checkpoint-to-a-data-version}
+
+Every Lance table — including a materialized view — exposes a monotonically increasing `version`. Logging it next to the weights gives a permanent, deterministic link between a checkpoint and the exact data snapshot that produced it.
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+import json
+from pathlib import Path
+
+train_tbl = lancedb.connect("data/bdd100k/lancedb").open_table("bdd100k_rider_train")
+
+out = Path("checkpoints/rider")
+out.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
+torch.save(model.state_dict(), out / "fasterrcnn_bdd_finetuned.pt")
+with open(out / "metadata.json", "w") as f:
+    json.dump({
+        "train_table":   train_tbl.name,
+        "table_version": train_tbl.version,
+        "row_count":     len(train_tbl),
+    }, f, indent=2)
+```
+
+To reproduce a run, [time-travel](/management/table#versioning) the view to the recorded version before opening the loader:
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+tbl = lancedb.connect("data/bdd100k/lancedb").open_table("bdd100k_rider_train")
+tbl.checkout(version=7)   # exact snapshot the checkpoint was trained on
+```
+
+## 7\. Continuous updates {#7-continuous-updates}
+
+When new footage arrives, the same three calls update every downstream view — no view definitions change, no training-script edits required:
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+# 1. ingest the new footage into the source table
+table.add(new_record_batches)
+
+# 2. backfill computes only the new rows (incremental, checkpointed)
+with gconn.local_ray_context():
+    tbl.backfill("has_rider")
+    tbl.backfill("person_bbox_area_pct")
+
+# 3. refresh appends qualifying new rows to every materialized view
+for view_name in gconn.table_names():
+    if view_name == "bdd100k":
+        continue
+    mv = gconn.open_table(view_name)
+    before = mv.count_rows()
+    mv.refresh()
+    print(f"[{view_name}]  {before} → {mv.count_rows()} rows  (version {mv.version})")
+```
+
+The next training run picks up the new data automatically — and pins itself to the new `version`.

+description: Learn how to use LanceDB with PyTorch for training and inference.
+icon: fire
+availability:
+  oss: available
+  enterprise: available
+  summary: >-
+    The PyTorch integration works with local, object-storage and deployment
+    tables in the Python SDK.
+---
+
+Use LanceDB tables as input to a PyTorch `DataLoader`. Select the columns you
+need, choose a batch format, and read data in parallel for training or inference.
+
+## Quickstart {#quickstart}
+
+The `Table` class in LanceDB implements a contract for a PyTorch
+[Dataset](https://docs.pytorch.org/docs/stable/data.html#torch.utils.data.Dataset).
+ This means you can simply use a LanceDB table in a PyTorch dataloader directly.
+
+```py Python icon=Python 
+import lancedb
+import torch
+import pyarrow as pa
+from lancedb.util import tbl_to_tensor
+
+mem_db = lancedb.connect("memory://")
+table = mem_db.create_table("test_table", pa.table({"a": range(1000)}))
+
+# Any LanceDB table can be used as a PyTorch Dataset
+dataloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
+    table, batch_size=1024, shuffle=True, collate_fn=tbl_to_tensor
+)
+
+for batch in dataloader:
+    print(batch)
+```
+
+Although the `Table` class in LanceDB implements the `torch.utils.data.Dataset` interface, you may find that using
+a table [Permutation](/training/data-loading) is more flexible.
+
+```py Python icon=Python 
+from lancedb.permutation import Permutation
+
+permutation = Permutation.identity(table)
+dataloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(permutation)
+```
+
+## Output Formats {#output-formats}
+
+By default, a `Table` data loader will emit Arrow data. `collate_fn` is PyTorch's batching hook: PyTorch calls it to
+turn the fetched items into one batch. PyTorch's default collate function only knows how to combine tensors, NumPy
+arrays, numbers, dicts, and lists, so it does not accept Arrow data directly. When using a `Table` directly, pass
+LanceDB's `lancedb.util.tbl_to_tensor` helper as PyTorch's `collate_fn`; it converts numeric Arrow columns into a
+column-major `torch.Tensor` with shape `(columns, rows)`.
+
+`Permutation` works differently: its default output is a list of Python dicts, which PyTorch's default collate function
+can batch into a dict of tensors. This is usually more convenient when you are getting started. However, there is a
+significant performance penalty converting from Arrow, Lance's internal representation, to this default format. If you
+want the default PyTorch dict-of-tensors behavior, use a `Permutation` as-is; if you want direct Arrow-to-tensor
+conversion, either pass `lancedb.util.tbl_to_tensor` as `collate_fn` with a direct `Table` or configure a `Permutation`
+with one of the transform formats described below.
+
+To address this, the `Permutation` class provides a set of builtin transform functions that can be applied to map
+the Arrow data in different ways.  The `arrow` and `polars` formats will always avoid data copies.  However, `numpy`,
+`pandas`, and `torch_col` formats will also avoid data copies in most cases.  The `python`, `python_col`, and
+`torch` formats will all require at least one full copy of the data and are the slowest options.
+
+### Using the torch column format with a torch data loader {#using-the-torch-column-format-with-a-torch-data-loader}
+
+The `torch_col` format is the most efficient way to convert from Arrow to a `torch.Tensor`.  It will convert the
+entire Arrow batch to a _column-major_ `torch.Tensor`.  In other words, given C columns and R rows, the resulting
+Tensor will have shape `(C, R)`.  However, this format generates an error if you are using a
+`torch.utils.data.DataLoader` with the default collation function:
+
+```text
+TypeError: stack(): argument 'tensors' (position 1) must be tuple of Tensors, not Tensor
+```
+
+This error occurs because the default collation function does not currently expect a single two-dimensional tensor.
+It expects a list of tensors which it will then stack.  This is what is output by the `torch` format but that format
+requires a data copy.  To avoid this error, and avoid data copies, you will need to provide a custom collation function
+in addition to specifying the `torch_col` format.
+
+```py Python icon=Python 
+from lancedb.permutation import Permutation
+
+permutation = Permutation.identity(table).with_format("torch_col")
+dataloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(permutation, collate_fn=lambda x: x)
+```
+
+This will now output a single two-dimensional tensor for each batch.
+
+## Selecting columns {#selecting-columns}
+
+By default, the `Table` class will return all columns in the table when used as input to PyTorch. If you only need
+a subset of columns, you can significantly reduce your I/O requirements by selecting only the columns you need.  The
+`Permutation` class provides a `select_columns` method that provides this functionality.
+
+```py Python icon=Python 
+import lancedb
+import pyarrow as pa
+import torch
+from lancedb.permutation import Permutation
+
+db = lancedb.connect("memory://")
+prompts = db.create_table(
+    "prompts",
+    pa.table(
+        {
+            "id": range(4),
+            "prompt": ["north", "south", "east", "west"],
+            "embedding": [[0.1, 0.2], [0.3, 0.4], [0.5, 0.6], [0.7, 0.8]],
+        }
+    ),
+)
+
+permutation = Permutation.identity(prompts).select_columns(["id", "prompt"])
+dataloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
+    permutation, batch_size=1024, shuffle=True
+)
+
+for batch in dataloader:
+    print(sorted(batch))  # ['id', 'prompt']: the embedding is never read
+```
+
+Each batch is a dict of the selected columns, the default `Permutation` format
+described above.
+
+## Using multiple DataLoader workers {#using-multiple-dataloader-workers}
+
+Set `num_workers > 0` to read from LanceDB in multiple PyTorch worker processes. `Permutation` objects and tables in LanceDB Enterprise are picklable, so each worker reopens the table after it starts. A local table is not, so wrap it in a `Permutation`, as below, to read it from several workers.
+
+Prefer the `forkserver` start method when using multiple workers. LanceDB uses internal threads, so the default `fork` method is unsafe; `forkserver` avoids that while being cheaper to start than `spawn`, and became the default on Linux and other supported POSIX platforms in Python
+3.14. macOS and Windows default to `spawn`. See
+[Python's start-method documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html#contexts-and-start-methods). See [the performance guide](/search#performance) for more multiprocessing guidance.
+
+<Note>
+`forkserver` is only available on POSIX systems (Linux and macOS). On Windows, use `spawn`, the only available start method.
+</Note>
+
+```py Python icon=Python 
+import torch
+from lancedb.permutation import Permutation
+
+permutation = Permutation.identity(table)
+dataloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
+    permutation,
+    batch_size=1024,
+    shuffle=True,
+    num_workers=4,
+    multiprocessing_context="forkserver",
+    persistent_workers=True,
+)
+```
+
+### Remote tables in DataLoader workers {#remote-tables-in-dataloader-workers}
+
+Remote LanceDB Enterprise tables (`db://...`) work the same way: workers reopen the table from the pickled connection state. Replace the URI, API key, region and endpoint below with your deployment details. In application code, load credentials from environment variables or a secrets manager.
+
+```py Python icon=Python 
+import lancedb
+import torch
+from lancedb.util import tbl_to_tensor
+
+db = lancedb.connect(
+    "db://my-database",
+    api_key="your-api-key",
+    region="us-east-1",
+    host_override="https://your-endpoint",
+)
+table = db.open_table("my_table")
+
+dataloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
+    table,
+    batch_size=512,
+    num_workers=4,
+    multiprocessing_context="forkserver",
+    collate_fn=tbl_to_tensor,
+)
+```
+
+<Note>
+This sends the connection state, including the API key, to each worker. Use a connection factory if credentials should be loaded inside the worker or your `client_config` contains a non-serializable `header_provider`.
+</Note>
+
+### Providing a custom connection factory {#providing-a-custom-connection-factory}
+
+`Permutation.with_connection_factory` lets each worker reopen the base table with custom logic. The factory takes the table name, returns a LanceDB table, and must be picklable.
+
+This example loads the API key inside each worker. Set it in the shell before
+starting the Python program, then replace the database URI, region and endpoint
+in the factory with your deployment details:
+
+```shell
+export LANCEDB_API_KEY="your-api-key"
+```
+
+```py Python icon=Python 
+import os
+import lancedb
+import torch
+from lancedb.permutation import Permutation
+
+def open_table(name: str):
+    db = lancedb.connect(
+        "db://my-database",
+        api_key=os.environ["LANCEDB_API_KEY"],
+        region="us-east-1",
+        host_override="https://your-endpoint",
+    )
+    return db.open_table(name)
+
+table = open_table("my_table")
+permutation = (
+    Permutation.identity(table)
+    .with_connection_factory(open_table)
+)
+dataloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
+    permutation,
+    batch_size=512,
+    num_workers=4,
+    multiprocessing_context="forkserver",
+)
+```

+title: "Fine-tuning a VLM on TextVQA"
+sidebarTitle: "VLM Fine-tuning"
+description: End-to-end fine-tuning of Qwen2.5-VL on a curated TextVQA slice, using LanceDB and Geneva to materialize expensive vision-language features once and train from cached columns.
+icon: image
+---
+
+This example walks through a vision-language model (VLM) fine-tuning pipeline for [TextVQA](https://textvqa.org/), where the task is to answer questions that require reasoning over text _inside an image_. The base model is `Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct`, fine-tuned with the [QLoRA](https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.14314) method. The data backbone is one Lance table that evolves from raw multimodal rows into training-ready features.
+
+The key idea is simple: in this QLoRA fine-tuning setup, we freeze the VLM's image encoder and train only a small adapter on the language-model side. We call that encoder the **vision tower** in this example: it is the part of the model that turns image pixels into visual hidden states before the language model reads them alongside the text prompt.
+
+Because the vision tower's weights do not change during fine-tuning, its output for a given image also does not change. That means the pipeline can compute those visual hidden states once, store them as a fixed-size Lance column, and reuse them in every epoch instead of recomputing them in every training step. This also helps the run fit comfortably on a small GPU, because the training job does not need to keep the vision encoder active or pay for its forward pass on every batch.

+</CardGroup>
+
+The Colab notebook uses a pre-baked subset of the TextVQA dataset: it downloads a curated Lance subset whose expensive feature columns have already been computed. This page explains the complete end-to-end pipeline that produced that subset, then shows how the notebook applies it to produce a fine-tuned model that improves performance on the TextVQA task.
+
+## What you get {#what-you-get}
+
+On the curated `text_dense` TextVQA slice, the demo fine-tunes `Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct` with QLoRA and evaluates on held-out images:
+
+| Setup | TextVQA accuracy |
+|---|---|
+| Base model | 0.799 |
+| LoRA-tuned model | **0.820** |
+| Lift | **+2.1 percentage points** |
+
+The larger point is not the absolute score, because you could just as well fine-tune a better base model on more data. The main takeaways are the workflow and quality-of-life improvements that you get when you combine LanceDB and Geneva:
+
+1. **Add expensive features** as new columns without rewriting the raw dataset.
+2. **Read fixed-size model features efficiently** for shuffled PyTorch batches.
+3. **Iterate quickly** from feature idea to scalable CPU/GPU backfill, using Geneva UDFs.
+
+## Why LanceDB fits this workflow {#why-lancedb-fits-this-workflow}
+
+VLM fine-tuning pipelines spend a lot of time between "I have an experiment idea" and "I trained the model." LanceDB shortens that loop in three places.
+
+<CardGroup cols={3}>
+  <Card title="Cheap feature evolution" icon="plus">
+    Lance can append derived columns such as `ocr_token_count`, `dhash`, `vision_tower_hiddens`, and tokenized SFT prompts without rewriting the existing image/question/answer columns or managing sidecar files.
+  </Card>
+  <Card title="Efficient training reads" icon="gauge">
+    Lance is optimized for scans and random access over fixed-size lists, which are common in model training: embeddings, hidden states, token IDs, masks, and labels.
+  </Card>
+  <Card title="Fast experiment turnaround" icon="flask">
+    Geneva lets AI engineers express feature work as UDFs, run those UDFs across CPU or GPU workers, and materialize the results directly into the same Lance table.
+  </Card>
+</CardGroup>
+
+In this pipeline, those three properties combine into the core optimization: compute the VLM vision features once, store them cheaply, then train by reading only the cached columns the model needs.
+
+## Pipeline overview {#pipeline-overview}
+
+The runnable demo uses the exact Colab subset hosted at [`lance-format/textvqa-lance-colab`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lance-format/textvqa-lance-colab). It is derived from the Lance-formatted TextVQA corpus and stores inline JPEG bytes, questions, answers, OCR tokens, object classes, CLIP image/question embeddings, and the cached training features used by this example. The full demo pipeline adds three tiers of derived features on top.
+
+<Card title="Tier 1: text features" icon="font">
+  Cheap CPU columns such as `question_length`, `answer_length`, `question_type`, and `ocr_token_count`.
+</Card>
+
+<Card title="Tier 2: light image features" icon="image">
+  Image-derived columns such as `dhash`, computed by decoding the JPEG once and storing a perceptual hash.
+</Card>
+
+<Card title="Tier 3: VLM training features" icon="microchip">
+  GPU-heavy columns: `vision_tower_hiddens` plus SFT token fields (`input_ids`, `attention_mask`, `labels`).
+</Card>
+
+The Colab notebook's workflow starts after all three tiers have been computed. It downloads a small curated subset and runs the training/evaluation path without needing to run Geneva or the vision-tower backfill on the notebook GPU.
+
+## 1\. Start with a multimodal LanceDB table {#1-start-with-a-multimodal-lancedb-table}
+
+The base schema comes from the TextVQA Lance dataset. One row contains the image bytes, natural-language question, reference answers, OCR tokens, scene tags, and retrieval embeddings.
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+import pyarrow as pa
+
+BASE_SCHEMA = pa.schema([
+    pa.field("id",            pa.int64()),
+    pa.field("image",         pa.large_binary()),
+    pa.field("image_id",      pa.string()),
+    pa.field("question_id",   pa.string()),
+    pa.field("question",      pa.string()),
+    pa.field("answers",       pa.list_(pa.string())),
+    pa.field("answer",        pa.string()),
+    pa.field("image_emb",     pa.list_(pa.float32(), 512)),
+    pa.field("question_emb",  pa.list_(pa.float32(), 512)),
+    pa.field("ocr_tokens",    pa.list_(pa.string())),
+    pa.field("image_classes", pa.list_(pa.string())),
+    pa.field("set_name",      pa.string()),
+])
+```
+
+Because the raw image, text, OCR, and embedding features live together, the same table supports curation, retrieval, feature engineering, and training. For example, the notebook can run a text-to-image retrieval demo by searching `image_emb` with a question embedding that already exists in the row.
+
+## 2\. Add feature columns with Geneva {#2-add-feature-columns-with-geneva}
+
+Geneva turns feature engineering into UDF definitions plus backfills. The UDFs can be simple text functions, image-processing functions, or stateful GPU model calls.
+
+The Tier 1 features are ordinary CPU UDFs:
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+import re
+import pyarrow as pa
+from geneva.transformer import udf
+
+_QUESTION_TYPE_PATTERNS = [
+    ("how_many", re.compile(r"^\s*how\s+many\b", re.IGNORECASE)),
+    ("what_brand", re.compile(r"^\s*what\s+(is\s+the\s+)?(brand|company|make)\b", re.IGNORECASE)),
+    ("what", re.compile(r"^\s*what\b", re.IGNORECASE)),
+]
+
+@udf(data_type=pa.string(), input_columns=["question"])
+def question_type(question: str) -> str:
+    for label, pattern in _QUESTION_TYPE_PATTERNS:
+        if pattern.search(question or ""):
+            return label
+    return "other"
+
+@udf(data_type=pa.int32(), input_columns=["ocr_tokens"])
+def ocr_token_count(ocr_tokens: list[str] | None) -> int:
+    return len(ocr_tokens) if ocr_tokens else 0
+```
+
+The Tier 3 feature is heavier: run Qwen2.5-VL's frozen vision tower once, then store the merged visual hidden states as a fixed-size fp16 list.
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+IMAGE_PX = 560
+LLM_TOKENS_PER_IMAGE = 400
+VISION_HIDDEN = 2048
+
+@udf(
+    data_type=pa.list_(pa.float16(), LLM_TOKENS_PER_IMAGE * VISION_HIDDEN),
+    input_columns=["image"],
+)

+            torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
+            device_map="cuda:0",
+        ).model.visual.eval()
+        self._processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct")
+
+    def __call__(self, image: bytes) -> list[float]:
+        self._lazy_load()
+        # Decode image, resize to IMAGE_PX, run the frozen vision tower,
+        # and return fp16[400, 2048] flattened as one fixed-size list.
+        ...
+```
+
+The fixed shape matters. With `IMAGE_PX = 560`, Qwen2.5-VL produces 400 merged visual tokens, each with hidden size 2048. That becomes one `fp16[400 * 2048]` column per row. Training can scan and randomly access that column without decoding images or running the vision tower in the hot loop, saving GPU compute at training time.
+
+Run the tiered backfill with Geneva:
+
+```bash bash icon="terminal"
+python -m vlm.backfill_geneva --tier 1     # CPU text columns
+python -m vlm.backfill_geneva --tier 2     # image decode + dhash
+python -m vlm.backfill_geneva --tier 3     # vision tower + SFT tokens
+```
+
+<Tip>
+The same Tier 3 work can be done manually by creating PyArrow batches and calling Lance's column-evolution APIs directly. The demo repo includes [`backfill_direct.py`](https://github.com/lancedb/tmls-2026-demo/blob/main/vlm/backfill_direct.py) for that path. Geneva is the preferred abstraction when you want to scale the same feature code across CPU or GPU workers and keep backfills incremental.
+</Tip>
+
+See the full UDF registry in [`vlm/geneva_udfs.py`](https://github.com/lancedb/tmls-2026-demo/blob/main/vlm/geneva_udfs.py) and the backfill driver in [`vlm/backfill_geneva.py`](https://github.com/lancedb/tmls-2026-demo/blob/main/vlm/backfill_geneva.py).
+
+## 3\. Curate a training slice {#3-curate-a-training-slice}
+
+The demo uses a `text_dense` slice: TextVQA examples whose images contain many OCR tokens. The slice was chosen empirically because it gave the clearest LoRA lift over the already-strong base model.
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+TEXT_DENSE_OCR_THRESHOLD = 16
+
+def matches_text_dense(row: dict) -> bool:
+    return len(row.get("ocr_tokens") or []) >= TEXT_DENSE_OCR_THRESHOLD
+```
+
+The Colab-ready bake ingests a small train split, backfills Tier 3 on that train table, ingests a held-out validation split, and optionally pushes the result to Hugging Face:
+
+```bash bash icon="terminal"
+python -m vlm.colab_prepare \
+  --out data/colab \
+  --slice text_dense \
+  --train-rows 600 \
+  --val-rows 400 \
+  --hf-repo lance-format/textvqa-lance-colab \
+  --push
+```
+
+The train table contains cached Tier 3 columns because training reads them directly. The validation table keeps raw images because evaluation should run the full VLM on unseen images.
+
+## 4\. Explore the prepared table {#4-explore-the-prepared-table}
+
+Before training, it helps to look at the actual task. Each row pairs an image with a question whose answer is often visible as text in the image: a product label, phone screen, sign, book spine, or package.

+The notebook downloads the public pre-baked subset:
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
+import lancedb
+import os
+
+local = snapshot_download(
+    repo_id="lance-format/textvqa-lance-colab",
+    repo_type="dataset",
+    local_dir="data/colab",
+)
+
+def open_tbl(path: str):
+    name = os.path.basename(path).removesuffix(".lance")
+    return lancedb.connect(os.path.dirname(path)).open_table(name)
+
+train_tbl = open_tbl(f"{local}/textvqa_colab_train.lance")
+val_tbl = open_tbl(f"{local}/textvqa_colab_val.lance")
+```
+
+Because the table also ships CLIP embeddings, you can run cross-modal retrieval without loading a model:
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+import numpy as np
+
+seed = (
+    train_tbl.search()
+    .select(["question", "question_emb"])
+    .limit(40)
+    .to_arrow()
+    .to_pylist()[11]
+)
+
+hits = (
+    train_tbl.search(
+        np.asarray(seed["question_emb"], dtype=np.float32),
+        vector_column_name="image_emb",
+    )
+    .select(["image", "question", "answer", "_distance"])
+    .limit(5)
+    .to_arrow()
+    .to_pylist()
+)
+```
+
+This is the same table that later feeds training. There is no separate feature store, image directory, Parquet export, or manifest to keep synchronized.
+
+## 5\. Benchmark Lance vs Parquet-style reads {#5-benchmark-lance-vs-parquet-style-reads}
+
+Many training pipelines start with Parquet. Parquet is excellent for columnar analytics, but training commonly needs shuffled batches and fixed-size tensor columns. The notebook compares Lance and Parquet on two access patterns:
+
+| Column group | Why it matters |
+|---|---|
+| `image`, `question`, `answer` | Raw multimodal rows: the baseline "decode and tokenize during training" path. |
+| `vision_tower_hiddens` | Cached fixed-size fp16 VLM features: the optimized training path. |
+
+The notebook mirrors those column groups to uncompressed Parquet, then measures sequential scans and shuffled random batches:
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+RAW = ["image", "question", "answer"]
+VEC = ["vision_tower_hiddens"]
+BATCH = 8
+
+lance_ds = train_tbl.to_lance()
+n = train_tbl.count_rows()
+
+def seq(ds, cols):
+    t0 = time.time()
+    for _ in ds.to_batches(columns=cols, batch_size=BATCH):
+        pass
+    return n / (time.time() - t0)
+
+def shuf(ds, cols, num_batches=20):
+    batches = [
+        sorted(rng.choice(n, BATCH, replace=False).tolist())
+        for _ in range(num_batches)
+    ]
+    t0 = time.time()
+    for idx in batches:
+        ds.take(idx, columns=cols)
+    return (num_batches * BATCH) / (time.time() - t0)
+```
+
+One Colab run produced the following throughput:
+
+| Throughput, rows/s | LanceDB | Parquet |
+|---|---:|---:|
+| `image` + `question` + `answer`, sequential | 2,603 | 8,311 |
+| `image` + `question` + `answer`, shuffled | 2,613 | 352 |
+| `vision_tower_hiddens` fp16, sequential | 1,452 | 90 |
+| `vision_tower_hiddens` fp16, shuffled | 2,149 | -- |
+
+The takeaways are workload-specific:
+
+- For a traditional sequential scan over raw image/question/answer columns, Parquet is faster in this run: 8,311 rows/s vs 2,603 rows/s.
+- For shuffled raw multimodal batches, Lance is faster because training reads scattered rows repeatedly instead of streaming the file once.
+- For cached fp16 fixed-size arrays, Lance is about 16x faster than Parquet on the sequential scan. This is the training-relevant path in this example: the model reads `vision_tower_hiddens`, token IDs, masks, and labels as fixed-size columns.
+- The benchmark intentionally skips the Parquet fp16 shuffled case. Parquet would re-decode whole row groups for each random batch, which is slow enough to distract from the real use case. The sequential fp16 row already shows the layout gap, while Lance shuffled reads remain fast.
+
+The numbers shown above are central to the example. The Tier 3 feature is only useful if the storage format can read it efficiently in the way a trainer actually needs: projected columns, repeated scans, and shuffled batches. **Lance specializes in exactly that access pattern**, including fixed-size list columns stored on disk.
+
+## 6\. Load cached columns with the Permutation API {#6-load-cached-columns-with-the-permutation-api}
+
+The training DataLoader projects only the columns needed by the cached training loop:
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+from lancedb.permutation import Permutation
+
+CACHED_COLS = [
+    "vision_tower_hiddens",
+    "input_ids",
+    "attention_mask",
+    "labels",
+]
+
+class LancePermutationDataset(torch.utils.data.Dataset):
+    def __init__(self, uri: str, table_name: str):
+        self.uri = uri
+        self.table_name = table_name
+        self._perm = None
+        self.length = len(lancedb.connect(uri).open_table(table_name))
+
+    def __len__(self):
+        return self.length
+
+    def __getstate__(self):
+        state = self.__dict__.copy()
+        state["_perm"] = None
+        return state
+
+    def _ensure_open(self):
+        if self._perm is None:
+            tbl = lancedb.connect(self.uri).open_table(self.table_name)
+            self._perm = (
+                Permutation.identity(tbl)
+                .select_columns(CACHED_COLS)
+                .with_format("arrow")
+            )
+
+    def __getitems__(self, indices: list[int]):
+        self._ensure_open()
+        return self._perm.__getitems__(indices)
+```
+
+Each worker opens its own `Permutation`, reads Arrow batches directly from Lance, and avoids per-row Python object conversion until the collate function converts arrays into tensors.
+
+The training batch contains:
+
+| Field | Shape |
+|---|---|
+| `vision_hiddens` | `fp16[B, 400, 2048]` |
+| `input_ids` | `int64[B, 512]` |
+| `attention_mask` | `int64[B, 512]` |
+| `labels` | `int64[B, 512]` |
+
+## 7\. Fine-tune without loading the vision tower {#7-fine-tune-without-loading-the-vision-tower}
+
+The training process loads the language-model side of Qwen2.5-VL in 4-bit, deletes the vision tower, and wraps the LLM projections with LoRA adapters.
+
+During the forward pass, the model embeds the token IDs, finds the `<|image_pad|>` positions, and inserts the cached visual hidden states into those positions:
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+def forward_cached(model, batch, image_pad_id: int):
+    base = model.get_base_model() if hasattr(model, "get_base_model") else model
+    inner = base.model
+
+    inputs_embeds = inner.get_input_embeddings()(batch.input_ids)
+    _, _, hidden_dim = inputs_embeds.shape
+
+    mask = (
+        (batch.input_ids == image_pad_id)
+        .unsqueeze(-1)
+        .expand_as(inputs_embeds)
+    )
+
+    vision_flat = batch.vision_hiddens.to(inputs_embeds.dtype).reshape(-1, hidden_dim)
+    inputs_embeds = inputs_embeds.masked_scatter(mask, vision_flat)
+
+    return model(
+        inputs_embeds=inputs_embeds,
+        attention_mask=batch.attention_mask,
+        labels=batch.labels,
+    ).loss
+```
+
+At this point, the LanceDB integration is done. The rest is plain PyTorch: optimizer, gradient accumulation, checkpointing, and saving the LoRA adapter.
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+loader = make_cached_loader(
+    "data/colab/textvqa_colab_train.lance",
+    batch_size=2,
+    shuffle=True,
+)
+
+for batch in loader:
+    batch = batch.to(device)
+    loss = forward_cached(model, batch, image_pad_id)
+    (loss / grad_accum).backward()
+    ...
+```
+
+This produces a training log like the following. The loss falls as the adapter learns from the cached features, and peak VRAM stays at 5.3 GB because QLoRA trains without keeping the vision tower active:
+
+```text
+step  10/300  loss=2.6694  5.9 samples/s
+step  20/300  loss=2.3133  6.1 samples/s
+                 .
+                 .
+                 .
+step 290/300  loss=0.0359  6.3 samples/s
+step 300/300  loss=0.4750  6.3 samples/s
+saved adapter to runs/colab_lora/lora | peak VRAM 5.3 GB
+```
+
+The training loop pays zero per-step cost for image decode, vision-tower forward, or prompt tokenization. Those costs were moved into feature engineering, where LanceDB and Geneva make them durable, incremental, and reusable.
+
+## 8\. Evaluate on held-out images {#8-evaluate-on-held-out-images}
+
+Evaluation uses the held-out validation table and loads the full VLM, including the vision tower. That is intentional: inference should see raw unseen images, not the cached train features.
+
+```py Python icon=Python
+rows = (
+    val_tbl.search()
+    .select(["image", "question", "answer", "answers"])
+    .limit(256)
+    .to_arrow()
+    .to_pylist()
+)
+
+base_model, processor = load_model(adapter_dir=None, load_4bit=True)
+tuned_model, processor = load_model(adapter_dir="runs/colab_lora/lora", load_4bit=True)
+
+base_score = score_textvqa(base_model, processor, rows)
+tuned_score = score_textvqa(tuned_model, processor, rows)
+```
+
+In this end-to-end example, the held-out curated validation split produced:
+
+| Model | TextVQA accuracy |
+|---|---:|
+| Base `Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct` | 0.799 |
+| QLoRA-tuned adapter | **0.820** |
+| Lift | **+2.1 percentage points** |
+
+The tuned adapter is not meant to be a state-of-the-art TextVQA checkpoint. It is the proof point for the pipeline: the same Lance table supports curation, feature engineering, efficient training reads, and evaluation on held-out raw images.
+
+The notebook renders side-by-side examples: image, question, base answer, tuned answer, and ground truth. This closes the loop from feature idea to trained model while keeping the source data, derived features, training batches, and evaluation split in Lance.

+title: "Why LanceDB for Training"
+sidebarTitle: "Why LanceDB"
+description: "Use LanceDB as the multimodal data layer for model training, fine-tuning, curation, and feature engineering workflows."
+icon: fire
+---
+
+LanceDB is built for AI teams that need a practical data layer between raw multimodal datasets and model training.
+Instead of moving data through separate systems for curation, feature engineering, search, manifests, and training,
+you can keep the whole workflow attached to one versioned LanceDB table.
+
+That table can hold images, video, audio, text, annotations, metadata, embeddings, tokenized fields, model outputs,
+quality signals, and training-ready tensors. As the dataset evolves, LanceDB lets you add new columns, filter rows,
+pin versions, and read batches without rewriting the original data.
+
+![Training data lifecycle: Curation, Feature Engineering, Search and Retrieval, Training](/static/assets/images/overview/training-data-lifecycle.svg)
+
+The LanceDB multimodal lakehouse connects curation, feature engineering, retrieval, and training data access
+through Lance tables. Data loaders read these tables into training frameworks, which run the model training.
+
+## A connected data lifecycle {#a-connected-data-lifecycle}
+
+Training pipelines usually need more than a pile of files. They need curation, derived features, reproducible splits,
+fast random access, and a clean path into frameworks such as PyTorch. LanceDB keeps these pieces connected through
+the same table model, whether you organize a workflow as one table or several related tables.
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Curate and slice the dataset">
+    Use filters, vector search, full-text search, and retrieval workflows to find the examples that matter: hard negatives,
+    long-tail failure modes, duplicate clusters, low-quality samples, or targeted fine-tuning slices.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Engineer features in place">
+    Add embeddings, detections, OCR output, labels, token IDs, hidden states, deduplication flags, or quality scores as
+    new columns. Lance's columnar layout and schema evolution avoid rewriting large raw media columns when you add features.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Create reproducible splits">
+    Build filtered splits and materialized views from the table instead of exporting CSV manifests. Data versions and tags
+    make it possible to tie a checkpoint back to the exact rows and features used for training.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Load batches for training">
+    Use fast random access and column projection to read only the columns a training step needs. LanceDB tables can be read
+    from local storage or object storage, and integrate with data loading patterns such as PyTorch datasets.
+  </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+## Lance as the foundation {#lance-as-the-foundation}
+
+LanceDB is built on [Lance](https://lance.org/), an open-source lakehouse format designed for multimodal AI data.
+The table below highlights the Lance features that enable the multimodal lakehouse on top.
+
+| Capability | Why it matters for training |
+|---|---|
+| **Multimodal columns** | Store raw bytes, annotations, metadata, embeddings, and features together. |
+| **Fast random access** | Support shuffled and sampled reads without reshuffling the dataset on disk. |
+| **Column projection** | Read only images, tokens, labels, embeddings, or hidden states needed by a given run. |
+| **Schema evolution** | Add new feature columns without rewriting existing media columns. |
+| **Versioning** | Reproduce experiments against the same table snapshot, even as the dataset evolves. |
+| **Search and filtering** | Find and materialize useful training slices directly from the table. |
+
+## Search inside training workflows {#search-inside-training-workflows}
+
+Search is not limited to QA systems, agents, or production retrieval apps. It is also a practical way to inspect,
+curate, and improve training data:
+
+- Find visually similar examples when debugging model failures.
+- Retrieve hard negatives or near-duplicates for contrastive training.
+- Combine vector search, full-text search, and metadata filters to build targeted fine-tuning slices.
+- Reuse the same table for both offline curation and production retrieval.
+
+In LanceDB, retrieval and training workflows can operate over the same multimodal tables instead of forcing teams to
+manage separate data systems for each stage.

+title: "NVIDIA RAG Blueprint with LanceDB"
+sidebarTitle: "NVIDIA RAG Blueprint"
+description: "Use LanceDB as the retrieval layer for NVIDIA RAG Blueprint with a Docker-first, retrieval-only reference integration."
+---
+
+## What this tutorial shows {#what-this-tutorial-shows}
+
+If you are using [NVIDIA RAG Blueprints](https://build.nvidia.com/blueprints) and want to evaluate LanceDB in that stack, this tutorial gives you a concrete starting point. It shows how to use LanceDB as the retrieval layer for a Docker-based NVIDIA RAG deployment with a small, script-driven reference integration where LanceDB OSS is embedded directly in the NVIDIA containers, the collection is prepared ahead of time, and the RAG server retrieves from it for search and generation. The example is intentionally retrieval-only, but it also includes hybrid search and reranker selection so you can see how LanceDB fits into a realistic NVIDIA retrieval workflow.
+
+<Tip>
+The runnable example for this tutorial lives in the
+[VectorDB recipes repository](https://github.com/lancedb/vectordb-recipes/tree/main/examples/nvidia-rag-blueprint-lancedb).
+</Tip>
+
+
+## How NVIDIA organizes vector databases {#how-nvidia-organizes-vector-databases}
+
+NVIDIA's [RAG Blueprint documentation](https://docs.nvidia.com/rag/latest/readme.html) effectively describes three different patterns for vector database support.
+1. There are built-in backends such as Milvus, where NVIDIA already owns both ingestion and
+retrieval.
+2. There are built-in alternatives such as Elasticsearch, where NVIDIA still owns
+the end-to-end flow but switches the backend through configuration.
+3. Then, there is the custom vector database path, where you implement a `VDBRag` backend yourself and register it in NVIDIA's
+factory.
+
+The LanceDB example shown below fits into the third category. More specifically, it follows NVIDIA's
+**retrieval-only** custom backend path: the data is prepared in LanceDB ahead of time, and NVIDIA
+RAG Blueprint is then pointed at that existing collection for search and generation. It does not
+yet teach NVIDIA's ingestor how to write new documents into LanceDB automatically.
+
+## Deployment model {#deployment-model}
+
+This reference integration uses **LanceDB OSS as an embedded retrieval library**, not as a separate
+database service. In practice, `APP_VECTORSTORE_NAME` is set to `lancedb`, `APP_VECTORSTORE_URL`
+points to a local filesystem path inside the NVIDIA containers, the LanceDB collection is prepared
+ahead of time, and the NVIDIA RAG server loads the LanceDB adapter to retrieve directly from that
+local dataset.
+
+## What the recipe contains {#what-the-recipe-contains}
+
+The recipe at
+[`examples/nvidia-rag-blueprint-lancedb`](https://github.com/lancedb/vectordb-recipes/tree/main/examples/nvidia-rag-blueprint-lancedb)
+is organized around a small number of practical pieces. The data-prep script builds a demo
+LanceDB collection from scratch, generates embeddings through the LanceDB embedding registry, and
+creates a full-text index so hybrid retrieval works immediately. The adapter file shows the
+retrieval-only integration point for NVIDIA RAG Blueprint, while the Docker override and NVIDIA
+change guide show the minimal configuration and source changes needed to run the example against
+NVIDIA's containers.
+
+## End-to-end flow {#end-to-end-flow}
+
+### 1\. Prepare the LanceDB collection {#1-prepare-the-lancedb-collection}
+
+From the [recipe directory](https://github.com/lancedb/vectordb-recipes/tree/main/examples/nvidia-rag-blueprint-lancedb):
+
+```bash
+uv sync
+uv run prepare_lancedb.py --embedder demo-keyword --reranker mrr
+```
+
+That script creates:
+
+- a local LanceDB dataset under `data/`
+- a collection named `nvidia_blueprint_demo`
+- automatic embeddings generated at ingest time
+- an FTS index for hybrid search
+
+The default embedder is an offline demo embedder so the example stays easy to run. If you want a
+more realistic setup, the same script can switch to a sentence-transformers embedder.
+
+### 2\. Patch the NVIDIA blueprint {#2-patch-the-nvidia-blueprint}
+
+Follow the instructions in the recipe's
+[`nvidia_blueprint_changes.md`](https://github.com/lancedb/vectordb-recipes/tree/main/examples/nvidia-rag-blueprint-lancedb/nvidia_blueprint_changes.md).
+The essential changes are:
+
+- add LanceDB dependencies to the NVIDIA environment
+- copy `lancedb_vdb.py` into the NVIDIA source tree
+- register the `lancedb` branch in NVIDIA's VDB factory
+
+NVIDIA's [RAG blueprint documentation](https://docs.nvidia.com/rag/latest/readme.html) and custom-VDB guide provide useful background if you want more context before applying the LanceDB-specific changes.
+
+### 3\. Start the Docker deployment {#3-start-the-docker-deployment}
+
+Set the absolute path to the recipe directory:
+
+```bash
+export LANCEDB_RECIPE_DIR=/absolute/path/to/vectordb-recipes/examples/nvidia-rag-blueprint-lancedb
+```
+
+Then from the NVIDIA repo root:
+
+```bash
+docker compose \
+  -f deploy/compose/docker-compose-rag-server.yaml \
+  -f "$LANCEDB_RECIPE_DIR"/docker-compose.override.yml \
+  up -d --build
+
+docker compose \
+  -f deploy/compose/docker-compose-ingestor-server.yaml \
+  -f "$LANCEDB_RECIPE_DIR"/docker-compose.override.yml \
+  up -d --build
+```
+
+The key environment values are:
+
+- `APP_VECTORSTORE_NAME=lancedb`
+- `APP_VECTORSTORE_URL=/opt/lancedb-recipe/data`
+- `COLLECTION_NAME=nvidia_blueprint_demo`
+- `APP_VECTORSTORE_SEARCHTYPE=hybrid`
+- `LANCEDB_RERANKER=mrr`
+
+## Verifying the integration {#verifying-the-integration}
+
+### Search {#search}
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8081/v1/search \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{
+    "query": "How do I replace Milvus in the NVIDIA RAG blueprint with LanceDB?",
+    "use_knowledge_base": true,
+    "collection_names": ["nvidia_blueprint_demo"],
+    "vdb_top_k": 3,
+    "reranker_top_k": 0
+  }'
+```
+
+### Generate {#generate}
+
+```bash
+curl -N -X POST http://localhost:8081/v1/generate \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{
+    "messages": [{"role":"user","content":"Summarize the LanceDB integration approach."}],
+    "use_knowledge_base": true,
+    "collection_names": ["nvidia_blueprint_demo"],
+    "vdb_top_k": 3,
+    "reranker_top_k": 0
+  }'
+```
+
+## Hybrid retrieval and rerankers {#hybrid-retrieval-and-rerankers}
+
+This example is meant to prove more than a trivial vector lookup.
+
+- LanceDB hybrid retrieval combines vector search with full-text search
+- the recipe creates the FTS index as part of dataset prep
+- the adapter supports `RRFReranker`, `MRRReranker`, and `CrossEncoderReranker`
+- the default example uses `MRRReranker`, not a plain weighted linear combination
+
+That matters for NVIDIA partner workloads because product names, storage platforms, and technical
+jargon often need exact lexical matching as well as semantic retrieval.
+
+## How this can be extended {#how-this-can-be-extended}
+
+The current example follows NVIDIA's **custom retrieval-only backend** path. In practice, that
+means the LanceDB collection is created ahead of time and NVIDIA RAG Blueprint is then pointed at
+that existing collection for search and generation. The sample data in `prepare_lancedb.py` exists
+only to make that flow runnable end to end: it creates a small local collection, inserts a few
+documents, generates embeddings, and builds an FTS index so the NVIDIA side has something real to
+query.
+
+A fuller integration is possible. NVIDIA's custom `VDBRag` interface also supports the pattern used
+by built-in backends such as Milvus and Elasticsearch, where NVIDIA owns both ingestion and
+retrieval. To make LanceDB work that way, a complete LanceDB backend would need to implement the
+ingestion methods NVIDIA documents, especially `create_collection` and `write_to_index`, along with
+the retrieval and collection-management methods expected by the rest of the stack.
+
+The open work is in defining how NVIDIA's ingestor should write
+records into LanceDB, how that storage is shared between the ingestor and the RAG server, and how
+document and collection metadata should be exposed so the broader NVIDIA APIs behave correctly.
+Until those pieces exist, this example should be read as: prepare LanceDB first, then let NVIDIA
+retrieve from it.

+## Use case: Financial services regulatory knowledge base {#use-case-financial-services-regulatory-knowledge-base}
+
+Imagine you're a major investment bank. Your team is tasked with building a critical Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system. This system must provide instant, accurate answers to compliance officers about ever-changing financial regulations. A wrong or out-of-date answer isn't just an inconvenience—it could lead to multi-million dollar fines, reputational damage, and regulatory audits.
+
+Your knowledge base is a living entity, constantly evolving with:
+
+* Daily regulatory updates from government bodies.
+* New internal policy documents and interpretations.
+* A/B testing of different embedding models and text chunking strategies to improve accuracy.
+
+This dynamic environment creates a series of high-stakes challenges that traditional
+vector databases are ill-equipped to handle.
+
+## Pain points solved by LanceDB {#pain-points-solved-by-lancedb}
+
+1. "Our RAG gave different answers yesterday versus today. Which version was used in the official compliance report?" Without versioning, you can't prove what the AI knew at a specific point in time, making audits impossible.
+
+2. "The new embedding model we deployed corrupted half the vectors. Can we instantly roll back our 10TB dataset?" With traditional systems, a rollback means a painful, hours-long (or days-long) process of re-indexing from a backup, leading to significant downtime.
+
+3. "Regulators want to audit an AI-assisted decision from three months ago. How can we prove what data the model had access to at that exact moment?" Reproducibility is key for compliance. You must be able to reconstruct the exact state of the knowledge base for any historical query.
+
+4. "We need to A/B test a new chunking strategy, but we can't disrupt the production system or duplicate the entire dataset." Experimentation is vital for improvement, but it can't come at the cost of production stability or a massive infrastructure bill.
+
+LanceDB's [column-based data evolution](/management/table#schema) and [time-travel capabilities](https://docs.lancedb.com/management/table#versioning) help preserve the dataset used for a particular answer. This tutorial demonstrates
+versioned retrieval; production auditing also needs application logs, retention
+policies and access controls.
+
+## Dataset: The U.S. Federal Register {#dataset-the-us-federal-register}
+
+To make this use case realistic, we'll use a perfect real-world dataset: The U.S. Federal Register, the official daily journal of the United States Government.
+
+It contains all new rules, proposed rules, and notices from federal agencies. It is the canonical source for regulatory changes, and it's updated every business day. It even has a public API, allowing us to simulate the real-time ingestion of new documents.

+description: "Tutorial on token-level retrieval with LanceDB multivector search."
+---
+
+![](/static/assets/images/search/multivector/multivector-1.png)
+
+In the development of advanced search and retrieval systems, moving from keyword matching to semantic understanding is a critical step. However, a key distinction exists between finding a relevant document and locating a specific piece of information within that document with precision. While there are techniques that perform well for retrieving documents, most of them work by extracting summarized semantic meaning of the document.
+
+This can be seen as these models trying to understand the "gist" of the documents. Both single-vector search and late-interaction approaches work well for these conditions with various tradeoffs involved. But there's another type of problem where the goal is not just to understand the overall topic of a document in general, but to also specifically account for the requested detail within the document. This "needle in a haystack" problem is a significant challenge, and addressing it is essential for building high-precision retrieval systems.
+
+This guide provides a technical analysis of multivector search for high-precision information retrieval. We will examine various optimization strategies and analyze their performance. This guide should be seen as complementary to resources like [this blog post by Answer.AI](https://www.answer.ai/posts/colbert-pooling.html) on ColBERT pooling, which explains how pooling strategies can be effective for document-level retrieval. Here, we will demonstrate why those same techniques can be counterproductive when precision at an intra-document, token level is the primary objective.
+
+To reproduce the work below, see the code [here](https://github.com/lancedb/research/tree/main/multivector-needle-haystack-bench).
+
+## The Dataset {#the-dataset}
+
+This task is different from benchmarks like BEIR, which focus on text-based doc retrieval, finding the most relevant documents from a large collection. Here, we want *intra-document localization*, where the goal is to find a precise piece of information within a single, dense document, in a multimodal setting.
+
+### The Task: The Document Haystack Dataset {#the-task-the-document-haystack-dataset}
+
+Our benchmark is built on the **[AmazonScience/document-haystack](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AmazonScience/document-haystack)** dataset, which contains 25 visually complex source documents (e.g., financial reports, academic papers). To create a rigorous test, our evaluation follows a per-document methodology:
+
+*   We process each of the 25 source documents independently.
+*   **Table Creation:** For a single source document (e.g., "AIG"), we ingest all pages from all of its page-length variants (from 5 to 200 pages long). This creates a temporary LanceDB table containing approximately 1,230 pages.
+*   **The Task:** We then query this table using a set of "needle" questions, where the goal is to retrieve the **exact page number** containing the answer. A successful retrieval means the correct page number is within the top K results.
+*   **Target metric:** We measure both retrieval accuracy (Hit@K) and the average search latency for each query against this table.
+
+**Dataset example**
+The documents contain "text needles" like these
+
+![](/static/assets/images/search/multivector/multivector-2.png)
+![](/static/assets/images/search/multivector/multivector-3.png)
+
+During evaluation, the queries processed are somewhat like this:
+```
+What is the secret currency in the document?
+What is the secret object #3 in the document?
+```
+The intention of this task is to find the page which has the text needle that answers this questions
+
+
+## Models and Architectures {#models-and-architectures}
+
+Our testbed includes a baseline single-vector model and a family of advanced multivector models. 
+
+### Single-Vector (Bi-Encoder) Baseline: CLIP ViT-Base-Patch32 {#single-vector-bi-encoder-baseline-clip-vit-base-patch32}
+A bi-encoder maps an entire piece of content (a query, a document page) to a *single* vector. The search process is simple: pre-compute one vector for every page, and at query time, find the page vector closest to the query vector.
+
+*   **Strength:** Speed and simplicity.
+*   **Weakness:** This creates an **information bottleneck**. All the nuanced details, keywords, and semantic relationships on a page must be compressed into a single, fixed-size vector. For finding a needle, this is like trying to describe a specific person's face using only one word.
+
+### Multi-vector (Late-Interaction) Models {#multi-vector-late-interaction-models}
+
+Multi-vector models, pioneered by ColBERT, take a different approach. Instead of one vector per page, they generate a *set of vectors* for each page—one for every token (or image patch).
+
+*   **Mechanism (MaxSim):** The search process is more sophisticated. For each token in the query, the system finds the most similar token on the page. These maximum similarity scores are then summed up to get the final relevance score. This "late-interaction" preserves fine-grained, token-level details.
+*   **The Models:** We used several vision-language models adapted for this architecture, including `ColPali`, `ColQwen2`, and `ColSmol`. While their underlying transformer backbones differ, they all share the ColBERT philosophy of representing documents as a bag of contextualized token embeddings.
+
+![](/static/assets/images/search/multivector/multivector-4.png)
+
+## Different Retrieval Strategies Used {#different-retrieval-strategies-used}
+
+A full multivector search is powerful but computationally intensive. Here are five strategies for managing it, complete with LanceDB implementation details.
+
+
+### 1\. `base`: The Gold Standard (Full Multi-vector Search) {#1-base-the-gold-standard-full-multi-vector-search}
+
+This is the pure, baseline late-interaction search. It offers the highest potential for accuracy by considering every token.
+
+**LanceDB also integrates with ConteXtualized Token Retriever (XTR)** , an advanced retrieval model that prioritizes the most semantically important document tokens during search. This integration enhances the quality of search results by focusing on the most relevant token matches.
+**LanceDB Implementation:**
+
+```python Python icon="python"
+import lancedb
+import pyarrow as pa
+
+# Schema for multivector data
+# Assumes embeddings are 128-dimensional
+schema = pa.schema([
+    pa.field("page_num", pa.int32()),
+    pa.field("vector", pa.list_(pa.list_(pa.float32(), 128)))
+])
+
+db = lancedb.connect("./lancedb")
+tbl = db.create_table("document_pages_base", schema=schema)
+
+# Ingesting multi-token embeddings for a page
+# multi_token_embeddings is a NumPy array of shape (num_tokens, 128)
+tbl.add([{"page_num": 1, "vector": multi_token_embeddings.tolist()}])
+
+# Searching with a multi-token query
+# query_multi_vector is also shape (num_query_tokens, 128)
+results = tbl.search(query_multi_vector).limit(5).to_list()
+```
+
+### 2\. `flatten`: Mean Pooling {#2-flatten-mean-pooling}
+
+This strategy "flattens" the set of token vectors into a single vector by averaging them. This transforms the search into a standard, fast approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search.
+
+**LanceDB Implementation:**
+
+```python Python icon="python"
+# Schema for single-vector data
+schema_flat = pa.schema([
+    pa.field("page_num", pa.int32()),
+    pa.field("vector", pa.list_(pa.float32(), 128))
+])
+tbl_flat = db.create_table("document_pages_flat", schema=schema_flat)
+
+# Ingesting the mean-pooled vector
+mean_vector = multi_token_embeddings.mean(axis=0)
+tbl_flat.add([{"page_num": 1, "vector": mean_vector.tolist()}])
+
+# Searching with a single averaged query vector
+query_mean_vector = query_multi_vector.mean(axis=0)
+results = tbl_flat.search(query_mean_vector).limit(5).to_list()
+```
+
+### 3\. Max pooling {#3-max-pooling}
+
+This is a variation of `flatten`. `max_pooling` takes the element-wise max across all token vectors instead of the mean. The implementation is identical to `flatten`, just with a different aggregation method (`.max(axis=0)`).
+
+### 4\. `flatten and multivector rerank`: The Hybrid Optimization {#4-flatten-and-multivector-rerank-the-hybrid-optimization}
+This two-stage strategy aims for the best of both worlds. First, use a fast, pooled-vector search to find a set of promising candidates. Then, run the full, accurate multivector search on *only* those candidates.
+
+**LanceDB Implementation:**
+This requires a table with two vector columns.
+
+```python Python icon="python"
+# Schema with both flat and multivector columns
+schema_rerank = pa.schema([
+    pa.field("page_num", pa.int32()),
+    pa.field("vector_flat", pa.list_(pa.float32(), 128)),
+    pa.field("vector_multi", pa.list_(pa.list_(pa.float32(), 128)))
+])
+tbl_rerank = db.create_table("document_pages_rerank", schema=schema_rerank)
+
+# Ingest both vectors
+tbl_rerank.add([
+    {
+        "page_num": 1,
+        "vector_flat": multi_token_embeddings.mean(axis=0).tolist(),
+        "vector_multi": multi_token_embeddings.tolist()
+    }
+])
+
+# --- Two-Stage Search ---
+# Stage 1: Fast search on the flat vector
+query_flat = query_multi_vector.mean(axis=0)
+candidates = tbl_rerank.search(query_flat, vector_column_name="vector_flat") \
+                       .limit(100) \
+                       .with_row_id(True) \
+                       .to_pandas()
+
+# Stage 2: Precise multivector search on candidates
+candidate_ids = tuple(candidates["_rowid"].to_list())
+final_results = tbl_rerank.search(query_multi_vector, vector_column_name="vector_multi") \
+                          .where(f"_rowid IN {candidate_ids}") \
+                          .limit(5) \
+                          .to_list()
+```
+
+### 5\. `hierarchical token pooling`: Compressing the Haystack {#5-hierarchical-token-pooling-compressing-the-haystack}
+
+This is an indexing-time strategy that aims to reduce the storage footprint and computational cost of multivector search by reducing the number of vectors per document. Instead of using every token vector, it clusters semantically similar tokens together and replaces them with a single, averaged vector.
+
+*   **Mechanism:** For each document, it computes the similarity between all token vectors, performs hierarchical clustering to group them, and then mean-pools the vectors within each cluster. This results in a smaller, more compact set of token vectors representing the document.
+*   **Goal:** To reduce memory and disk usage while attempting to preserve the most important semantic information, potentially offering a middle ground between the high accuracy of `base` search and the speed of pooled methods.
+
+**LanceDB Implementation:**
+The schema is identical to the `base` multivector search, but the data is pre-processed before ingestion.
+
+```python Python icon="python"
+from utils import pool_embeddings_hierarchical
+import numpy as np
+
+# Schema is the same as the base multivector schema
+schema = pa.schema([
+    pa.field("page_num", pa.int32()),
+    pa.field("vector", pa.list_(pa.list_(pa.float32(), 128)))
+])
+tbl_hierarchical = db.create_table("document_pages_hierarchical", schema=schema)
+
+# Pool the embeddings before ingestion
+# multi_token_embeddings is a NumPy array of shape (num_tokens, 128)
+pooled_embeddings = pool_embeddings_hierarchical(
+    multi_token_embeddings,
+    pool_factor=4  # Reduce vector count by a factor of 4
+)
+
+# Ingest the smaller set of multi-token embeddings
+# pooled_embeddings is now shape (approx. num_tokens / 4, 128)
+tbl_hierarchical.add([{"page_num": 1, "vector": pooled_embeddings.tolist()}])
+
+# Search is identical to the base multivector search
+results = tbl_hierarchical.search(query_multi_vector).limit(5).to_list()
+```
+
+## The Results {#the-results}
+
+For a "needle in a haystack" task, retrieval accuracy is the primary metric of success. The benchmark results reveal a significant performance gap between the full multivector search strategy and common optimization techniques.
+
+### Baseline Performance: Single-Vector Bi-Encoder {#baseline-performance-single-vector-bi-encoder}
+
+First, we establish a baseline using a standard single-vector bi-encoder model, `openai/clip-vit-base-patch32`. This represents a common approach to semantic search but, as the data shows, is ill-suited for this task's precision requirements.
+
+| Model | Strategy | Hit@1 | Hit@5 | Hit@20 | Avg. Latency (s) |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `openai/clip-vit-base-patch32` | `base` | 1.6% | 4.7% | 11.8% | **0.008 s** |
+
+With a Hit@20 rate of just under 12%, the baseline model struggles to reliably locate the correct page. This performance level is insufficient for applications requiring high precision.
+
+### Multi-vector Model Performance {#multi-vector-model-performance}
+
+We now examine the performance of multivector models using different strategies. The following table compares the `base` (full multivector), `flatten` (mean pooling), and `rerank` (hybrid) strategies across several late-interaction models.
+
+| Model | Strategy | Hit@1 | Hit@5 | Hit@20 | Avg. Latency (s) |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `vidore/colqwen2-v1.0` | `flatten` | 1.9% | 5.5% | 11.9% | 0.010 s |
+| `vidore/colqwen2-v1.0` | `flatten and multivector rerank` | 0.3% | 1.5% | 7.3% | 0.692 s |
+| **`vidore/colqwen2-v1.0`** | **`hierarchical token pooling`** | **13.7%** | **60.5%** | **91.6%** | **0.144 s** |
+| **`vidore/colqwen2-v1.0`** | **`base`** | **14.0%** | **65.4%** | **95.5%** | 0.668 s |
+| `vidore/colpali-v1.3` | `flatten` | 1.7% | 4.5% | 9.3% | 0.008 s |
+| `vidore/colpali-v1.3` | `flatten and multivector rerank` | 0.6% | 2.3% | 6.9% | 0.949 s |
+| **`vidore/colpali-v1.3`** | **`hierarchical token pooling`** | **10.8%** | **41.7%** | **64.8%** | **0.189 s** |
+| **`vidore/colpali-v1.3`** | **`base`** | **11.3%** | **42.3%** | **65.6%** | 0.936 s |
+| `vidore/colSmol-256M` | `flatten` | 1.6% | 4.7% | 10.5% | 0.008 s |
+| `vidore/colSmol-256M` | `flatten and multivector rerank` | 0.3% | 1.6% | 7.0% | 0.853 s |
+| **`vidore/colSmol-256M`** | **`base`** | **14.4%** | **64.0%** | **91.7%** | 0.848 s |
+
+The data shows a consistent pattern: the `base` strategy outperforms all other techniques. The flattned pooling and reranking strategies perform no better than the single-vector baseline. However, hierarchical token pooling seems like a decent alternative to base considering speed vs accuracy tradeoff. Let's look at the numbers in detail.
+
+### In-Depth Analysis of Pooling Strategies {#in-depth-analysis-of-pooling-strategies}
+
+To further understand the failure of optimization techniques, we compared different methods for pooling token vectors into a single vector: `mean` (`flatten`), `max`.
+
+| Model & Pooling Strategy | Hit@1 | Hit@5 | Hit@20 | Avg. Latency (s) |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `vidore/colqwen2-v1.0` (`mean_pooling`) | 1.9% | 5.5% | 11.9% | 0.010 s |
+| `vidore/colqwen2-v1.0` (`max_pooling`) | 1.4% | 4.2% | 11.2% | 0.011 s |
+| **`vidore/colqwen2-v1.0` (`base`)** | **14.0%** | **65.4%** | **95.5%** | 0.668 s |
+
+All flattened pooling methods perform poorly, confirming that the aggregation of token vectors into a single representation loses the fine-grained detail required for this task.
+
+**Finding the Right Trade-Off**
+
+![](/static/assets/images/search/multivector/multivector-5.png)
+
+1.  **The Failure of Simple Pooling:** The `flatten` (mean pooling) and `max_pooling` strategies fail to improve upon the baseline. This is because their aggressive compression **destroys the essential localization signal**. The resulting single vector represents the *topic* of the page, not the *specific needle* on it.
+2.  **The Failure of `flatten and multivector rerank`:** This hybrid strategy is the *worst-performing* of all. The reason is a fundamental flaw in its design for this task: the first stage uses a simple pooled vector to retrieve candidates. Since this pooling eliminates the localization signal, the initial candidate set is effectively random.
+3.  **`hierarchical token pooling`:** By clustering and pooling tokens at indexing time, it reduces the number of vectors per page (in our case, by a factor of 4). This intelligently compresses the data, while preserving enough token-level detail in multivector setting. It achieves a **Hit@20 of 91.6%**, only slightly behind the `base` strategy's 95.5%, but is significantly faster.
+4.  **`base` multivector Search:** The vanilla, un-optimized `base` multivector search remains the most accurate strategy. Preserving every token vector provides the highest guarantee of finding the needle, but this comes at the highest computational cost.

+
+
+The "optimizations" are not all created equal. While simple pooling is fast, its inaccuracy makes it unusable. Hierarchical pooling, however, offers a compelling balance of speed and accuracy.
+

+| :--- | :--- | :--- |

+| `flatten and multivector rerank` (Slower and Ineffective) | 0.692 s | 7.3% |

+
+## Practical Considerations {#practical-considerations}
+
+The accuracy of `base` multivector search is impressive, but its computational intensity has historically limited its use.  `hierarchical token pooling` as a viable strategy creates a new, practical sweet spot on the accuracy-latency curve, making high-precision search accessible for a wider range of applications.
+
+### Search Latency and Computational Complexity {#search-latency-and-computational-complexity}
+
+
+As the benchmark data shows, the search latency for `base` multivector search is orders of magnitude higher than for single-vector (or pooled-vector) search. It's important to note that the reported ~670ms latency is an average from per-document evaluations. In this benchmark, each of the 25 documents is processed independently. All pages from a single document's variants (ranging from 5 to 200 pages) are ingested into a temporary table, resulting in a table size of approximately **1,230 rows (pages)** per evaluation. The search is performed on this table, and then the table is discarded. This highlights a significant performance cost even on a relatively small, per-document scale. This stems from a fundamental difference in computational complexity:
+
+*   **Modern ANN Search (for single vectors):** Algorithms like HNSW (Hierarchical Navigable Small World) provide sub-linear search times, often close to `O(log N)`, where `N` is the number of items in the index. This allows them to scale to billions of vectors with millisecond-level latency.
+*   **Late-Interaction Search (Multi-vector):** The search process is far more intensive. For each query, it must compute similarity scores between query tokens and the tokens of many candidate documents. The complexity is closer to `O(M * Q * D)`, where `M` is the number of candidate documents to score, `Q` is the number of query tokens, and `D` is the average number of tokens per document. `Hierarchical token pooling` directly attacks this problem by reducing `D`, leading to a significant reduction in search latency.
+
+### When to Use Multi-Vector Search {#when-to-use-multi-vector-search}
+
+Given these constraints, the choice of strategy depends on the specific requirements of the application.
+
+*   **For Maximum Precision (`base`):** In domains where the cost of missing the needle is extremely high, the full `base` search is the most reliable option.
+*   **For a Balance of Precision and Performance (`hierarchical token pooling`):** This is the ideal choice for many applications. It makes high-precision search practical for larger datasets and more interactive use cases where the sub-second latency of the `base` search may be too high. It significantly lowers the barrier to entry for adopting multivector search. It should still not be seen as a drop-in replacement for ANN, as it still requires more computational resources than single-vector search.
+*   **For General-Purpose Document Retrieval (`flatten` / single-vector):** For large-scale retrieval where understanding the "gist" is sufficient or where in cases where large-context text-based models suffice, single-vector search remains the most practical and scalable solution.

+# TypeSafe request batching
+
+## Available evidence
+
+The focused tests exercise the native reranker with a mocked API. For 80 non-null
+candidates, `batch_size=1` makes 80 `system_one` calls and `batch_size=40` makes
+exactly two. Boundary tests cover 0, 1, 39, 40, 41, 80, and 81 candidates, including
+a partially filled last batch. These are request-count checks, not latency or
+ranking-quality measurements.
+
+Validation on this patch: **124 tests passed**, with the credential-dependent live
+test skipped. This includes real local vector/FTS/hybrid searches, async queries,
+and TypeSafe SDK 0.7.1 over a mock HTTP transport (including SDK-managed retries).
+Repository-wide Ruff formatting/lint, the benchmark CLI, and the MkDocs build
+also passed.
+
+### Live subset test
+
+A live test on the first 100 cached GooAQ queries (6,851 candidate pairs) passed
+with `jev-1.13.0`, SDK 0.7.1, and concurrency 32 in both modes. Candidate IDs,
+probabilities, resolved models, and request counts were checked for every record.
+All three 80-candidate queries made exactly two batched calls. Live vector, FTS,
+hybrid, empty-FTS, and multivector integration checks also passed in both modes.
+No correctness fixes were needed.
+
+The subsequent batch-ordering simplification passed all 124 automated tests and
+a fresh four-query live check (original query indices 0, 1, 2, and 8; 292 candidate
+pairs). Unbatched/batched calls were 292/8, including exactly two calls for the
+80-candidate case. The 100-query measurements below are from the initial
+implementation, identified by commit and source hash in the linked report.
+
+| Batch size | Subset SDK calls | Median | p95 |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| 1 | 6,851 | 877 ms | 9,446 ms |
+| 40 | 199 | 351 ms | 598 ms |
+
+| Search | Unbatched Hit@5 / Hit@10 | Batched Hit@5 / Hit@10 |
+| --- | ---: | ---: |
+| Vector | 82% / 88% | 84% / 89% |
+| FTS | 72% / 77% | 73% / 78% |
+| Hybrid | 83% / 89% | 84% / 90% |
+
+These are **subset-test observations, not full benchmark results**. The full run
+was manually stopped after 494 matched queries; this summary uses the first 100
+input queries without selection by latency or scores. Counts above exclude other
+queries completed before stopping. The high unbatched p95 is retained as observed;
+it is not attributed to a specific cause. A complete 2,000-query paired benchmark
+is still needed before making a general performance or quality claim. Exact values
+and configuration are in [the subset test report](typesafe_subset_test.json).
+
+The historical GooAQ results motivated this patch: the earlier custom adapter
+reported 186 ms median / 387 ms p95; native unbatched scoring at concurrency 32
+reported 805 ms / 1,193 ms for 2,000 queries and 136,586 candidate pairs using
+`jev-1.13.0`. Those separate runs are not measurements of this patch. See the
+[research results](https://github.com/lancedb/research/blob/codex/use-native-typesafe-reranker/reranking/results/README.md)
+and [earlier adapter](https://github.com/lancedb/research/blob/412a522/reranking/jev_reranker.py).
+
+## Run the paired benchmark
+
+Use the exact `candidates.json` from the research benchmark cache. It is a JSON
+array of records with `query`, expected `answer`, ordered `vector` and `fts` ID
+lists, and a `documents` mapping from string IDs to text. Distinct IDs may have
+identical text. To prepare candidates without scoring models, use the research
+branch's [benchmark](https://github.com/lancedb/research/blob/codex/use-native-typesafe-reranker/reranking/compare_jev.py)
+with `--models none`; its default corpus and query counts reproduce the protocol.
+
+After bootstrapping this checkout's Python development environment, run from
+`python/` (set `TYPESAFE_API_KEY` or pass `--api-key-file`):
+
+```sh
+uv run --extra tests --with typesafe-sdk==0.7.1 benchmarks/bench_typesafe.py \
+  --candidates /path/to/research/reranking/.benchmark-cache/candidates.json \
+  --model jev-1.13.0 --max-concurrency 32 \
+  --cache /tmp/typesafe-batching-fresh \
+  --output /tmp/typesafe-batching-results.json
+```
+
+Both modes use the same installed SDK, model, prompt, candidates, and concurrency.
+They score each query's candidate union once, alternating which mode runs first.
+Timings include native reranking and SDK retries, exclude retrieval, and report
+median/p95 milliseconds. Request counts mean logical SDK calls, excluding
+SDK-internal retry attempts. The output includes resolved model IDs, package
+versions, implementation and candidate hashes, and vector/FTS/hybrid Hit@5 and
+Hit@10. As in the research protocol, each metric uses 4× overfetch and a hit means
+an exact match to the expected answer text. Ties retain retrieval order.
+
+Scores and timings can resume from a cache. Cache identities separate batch size,
+request format, model, SDK version, concurrency, prompt, implementation, and input
+candidate bytes. Use a new cache directory for fresh timings. The report identifies
+reused queries; don't compare runs with different resolved models or environments.
+API errors and malformed responses abort the benchmark without fallback scores.
+
+Offline validation from `python/`:
+
+```sh
+uv run --extra tests --with typesafe-sdk==0.7.1 pytest \
+  python/tests/test_typesafe_reranker.py \
+  python/tests/test_rerankers.py benchmarks/test_bench_typesafe.py -k typesafe -q

+"""WAL-PK-FUSION: hybrid search's primary-key fallback for MemWAL tables.
+
+Hybrid search joins its vector and full-text legs on `_rowid`, which a MemWAL
+table cannot supply: the fresh tier has no stable row id, so the server rejects
+`with_row_id` before it plans. When that happens the legs are joined on a
+surrogate `_rowid` built from the table's primary key instead.
+
+This is a stopgap until MemWAL supports `_rowid`, and everything it needs lives
+here so it can be removed in one pass:
+
+1. Delete this file and `tests/test_wal_hybrid.py`.
+2. Run `grep -rn WAL-PK-FUSION python/ rust/` and follow the note at each
+   marker; the Rust side has its own copy in
+   `rust/lancedb/src/query/wal_fusion.rs`.

+    **Functions and classes.** A decorated function is called once per row,
+    or once per batch when its parameters are annotated ``pyarrow.Array`` or
+    it takes one ``pyarrow.RecordBatch``. A decorated class is the same
+    callable with state: each remote instance calls ``__init__`` once, calls
+    ``__call__`` for every row or batch of every input it processes, and calls
+    ``close()``, if defined, once when it retires. Load models, open clients,
+    and build rate limiters in ``__init__``; every batch of the instance then
+    reuses them. An instance serves many batches of one binding, so state is
+    shared across them, but not across instances or workers.
+
+    **Initialization.** The annotated parameters of a class's ``__init__``
+    are the Function's initialization fields. Their values belong to each
+    binding, not to the Function: ``function(text=col("body"), model="small")``
+    binds column ``body`` and initializes every instance with ``model="small"``,
+    and another column can bind the same Function version with other values.
+    Initialization fields take booleans, integers, floats, strings, and lists
+    or structs of them (``Annotated[dict, pa.struct(...)]``). A parameter with
+    a default may be omitted from a binding; a null value then takes the
+    default. Use Secrets, not initialization, for credentials.
+
+    **What travels with the Function.** The artifact is a snapshot of the
+    decorated source plus exactly the module-level names it references:
+
+    - modules, and classes and functions importable from an installed
+      package, become imports; the package must be declared in ``pip`` or
+      ``conda``;
+    - literals (``None``, booleans, numbers, strings, bytes, tuples of them)
+      are inlined;
+    - functions and classes defined in ``__main__``, such as notebook cells,
+      are packaged by source, together with what they reference;
+    - modules and packages listed in ``code`` are shipped as Python source and
+      imported normally, so helpers shared by several Functions live in one
+      place.
+
+    A reference to a module in a local source tree that is neither shipped
+    with ``code`` nor named by a declared package draws a warning at
+    registration, because the worker will most likely fail to import it.
+    Closures, lambdas, nested definitions, mutable module-level
+    objects, code that reaches the module namespace another way
+    (``globals()``/``eval``, ``sys.modules``, ``builtins``), and a
+    non-standard ``__builtins__`` are rejected where they can be seen and
+    otherwise unsupported. Changing any packaged source, including a module in
+    ``code``, produces a new Function version; the environment built from
+    ``pip`` or ``conda`` is reused.

-    `FTS` is a full-text search index that can be used on `String` columns
+    `FTS` supports string columns, lists of strings, and JSON columns created
+    from PyArrow ``pa.json_()``. JSON columns use Lance's JSON-aware tokenizer
+    and are stored as ``LargeBinary`` with the ``lance.json`` logical type.
+    Arbitrary binary columns are not supported.
 
-    For example, it works with `title`, `description`, `content`, etc.
+    JSON queries use ``path,str,value`` triples. Paths are relative to the JSON
+    column and use dots for nested object keys. For example,
+    ``meta.tag,str,nature`` matches the string value at ``$.meta.tag``;
+    it does not search other paths or JSON key names. The value is processed
+    with the configured text tokenizer. Use ``str``, not ``string``.
+
+    Create and query a JSON index through the modern API::
+
+        import pyarrow as pa
+        from lancedb.index import FTS
+
+        table = db.create_table(

+        ).to_list()
+
+    Create the index on the JSON column itself, not a JSON subpath such as
+    ``doc.meta.tag``. JSON-path scalar indexes do not provide FTS path scoping.
+    Plain text such as ``nature`` is not a valid JSON FTS query. The current
+    Lance tokenizer can panic on malformed triples; see
+    https://github.com/lance-format/lance/issues/8812.
+
+    Remote tables use the same ``FTS()`` configuration and require a server
+    that supports JSON FTS. Wait for ``table.wait_for_index(["doc_idx"])``
+    before searching a newly created remote index with its default name.

+    the result's ``column`` value and answers a yes/no ("noul") question about
+    whether the document is relevant. The probability of "yes", between 0 and 1,
+    becomes the ``_relevance_score``. Because every score is an absolute
+    probability rather than a position in the list, scores are comparable
+    across queries and can be thresholded. They are model estimates, though,
+    and can vary slightly between identical calls, so results with close scores
+    may swap places when the same search is repeated.
+
+    By default, one request is sent per non-null result. Set ``batch_size=40``
+    to score up to 40 documents per request, with at most ``max_concurrency``
+    requests in flight. Each question sees only its own document and the shared
+    query. Null documents keep a score of zero without an API request; empty
+    strings are scored normally. API and response-validation errors propagate.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    model_name : str, default "jev-latest"
+        The TypeSafe model to use.
+    column : str, default "text"
+        The name of the column holding the document text to score.
+    instructions : str, optional
+        The yes/no question asked about each query and document pair. The state
+        TypeSafe reads with ``batch_size=1`` is
+        ``{"query": <query>, "document": <column value>}``.
+        Defaults to a generic relevance question. See ``batch_size`` for the
+        different location of the document in batched requests.
+    criteria : Mapping[str, str], optional
+        What a "yes" and a "no" mean, as a mapping with the keys ``"true"`` and
+        ``"false"``. Domain-specific criteria usually rank better than the
+        generic default. Pass an empty mapping to send no criteria.
+    return_score : str, default "relevance"
+        Options are "relevance" or "all". If "all", keeps the vector and FTS
+        scores alongside the relevance score.
+    api_key : str, optional
+        The API key to use. If None, the TypeSafe SDK reads the
+        ``TYPESAFE_API_KEY`` environment variable.
+    max_concurrency : int, default 8
+        The maximum number of TypeSafe requests in flight for one rerank call.
+    batch_size : int, default 1
+        Positive integer limiting non-null documents per request. The default
+        preserves the original request format. With a value greater than one,
+        state is ``{"query": <query>}`` and each question's instructions are
+        ``{"question": <instructions>, "document": <column value>}``.
+        Instructions and criteria are preserved verbatim. Custom prompts that
+        explicitly reference the document in request state (for example,
+        ``state.document``) must be adapted before opting into batching.
+        The TypeSafe SDK handles retries in both modes.

+        with the input that failed and the error. This lists those records,
+        newest job first, plus a summary for any fragment whose per-row
+        detail was capped. LanceDB Cloud and Enterprise only; reading errors
+        needs read access to the table, since a message carries the value
+        that failed.
+
+        Parameters
+        ----------
+        job_id: str, optional
+            Only errors recorded by this job.
+        column: str, optional
+            Only errors on this column.
+        limit: int, optional
+            At most this many records (server default 10000, cap 100000).
+
+        Returns
+        -------
+        FunctionErrors
+            ``records``, ``fragments`` and ``truncated``, the last saying
+            whether the listing stopped at its limit.
+
+        Examples
+        --------
+        >>> errors = table.function_errors(column="embedding")  # doctest: +SKIP
+        >>> for record in errors.records:  # doctest: +SKIP

+//! `future_into_py` call hangs forever. Normal (non-fork) process exit has
+//! its own gap: nothing tells the runtime to shut down, so its worker
+//! threads keep running, uncoordinated with the interpreter, right up until
+//! the process ends. If one of them is mid-task exactly as `Py_Finalize`
+//! starts tearing down interpreter state, it can panic on state that's
+//! already gone -- and since that happens on a background thread with no
+//! PyO3-wrapped call frame to catch it, Rust aborts the whole process
+//! rather than failing that one call. [`shutdown`], registered as a Python
+//! `atexit` callback, closes that gap by giving the runtime a coordinated,
+//! bounded exit while the interpreter is still fully valid.
 //!
-//! We sidestep the global by routing every future through our own
-//! [`LanceRuntime`] (a [`pyo3_async_runtimes::generic::Runtime`] impl) backed
-//! by an [`AtomicPtr`] to a tokio runtime that we own.  A `pthread_atfork`
-//! child handler nulls the pointer; the next `spawn` rebuilds the runtime in
-//! the child.  This mirrors the pattern used in the Lance Python bindings.
+//! Getting both of these right at once took a few tries; the design here
+//! rests on three separate mechanisms, each solving one problem the others
+//! cannot:
+//!
+//! **`OUTSTANDING`, not `Arc::strong_count`, decides when the runtime is
+//! idle.** Early versions tried to infer "is anything still using this
+//! runtime" from how many `Arc<Runtime>` clones existed. That signal is
+//! wrong in both directions: a clone taken only for the instant a task is
+//! *submitted* says nothing about whether that task has actually finished
+//! running (`Runtime::shutdown_timeout` gives spawned, non-blocking tasks
+//! no grace period at all -- a task "keeps running until it yields, then is
+//! dropped" -- so a reclaim landing right after submission would silently
+//! abandon it before it ever got to run); and a clone held for a task's
+//! *whole* lifetime can end up making that task the final owner of the
+//! `Runtime`, so completing it drops the `Runtime` from inside one of its
+//! own worker threads, which tokio itself forbids ("cannot drop a runtime
+//! in a context where blocking is not allowed") and panics. `OUTSTANDING`
+//! is an explicit courtesy counter instead: every top-level `spawn`,
+//! `spawn_blocking`, or `block_on` call increments it before it starts and
+//! decrements it (via [`OutstandingGuard`]) when it is truly done, entirely
+//! decoupled from how many `Arc` clones exist at any instant. `shutdown`
+//! waits for it to reach zero before ever touching the runtime, which also
+//! closes a narrower race: because the counter is incremented *before*
+//! `get_runtime()` is even called, an install already in progress when
+//! `shutdown` runs is never invisible to it the way an empty slot would be.
+//! If the counter never reaches zero within the bound, `shutdown` stops
+//! waiting and forces the retirement attempt anyway -- silently returning
+//! with the runtime and its workers still fully alive would just recreate
+//! the exact race this function exists to close, for any call slower than
+//! the grace period.
+//!
+//! **Tasks never hold an `Arc<Runtime>`.** Because `OUTSTANDING` (not
+//! reference counting) is what `shutdown` waits on, a top-level task only
+//! needs to carry an `OutstandingGuard` -- a token whose `Drop` is a plain
+//! atomic decrement -- not a clone of the runtime itself. That is what
+//! makes it impossible for a task's completion to become the final,
+//! worker-thread-side drop of the `Runtime`: nothing a task holds ever
+//! *is* the `Runtime`.
+//!
+//! **`atfork_child` touches nothing but a plain counter.** `future_into_py`
+//! spawns a task that, once running, spawns a second one to do the real
+//! work and awaits its `JoinHandle`; if a nested call re-resolved "the
+//! current runtime" independently, a reclaim landing between the two calls
+//! could bind them to different instances. `spawn`/`spawn_blocking` close
+//! that with `Handle::try_current`: a call already running on one of our
+//! worker threads stays pinned to that instance, so only the first,
+//! outermost call of a chain ever consults [`get_runtime`]. That leaves
+//! fork as the other place identity can change, and it has to be handled
+//! without ever calling into `ArcSwapOption` from the child handler itself
+//! -- `swap`/`compare_and_swap` reconcile reader "debts" internally (via
+//! thread-local state, and potentially an allocation), none of which is
+//! safe to run in a forked child that may have inherited another thread's
+//! lock mid-acquisition. `atfork_child` therefore does nothing but bump a
+//! bare `GENERATION` counter; [`get_runtime`] compares the generation its
+//! installed runtime was built in against the live counter on every call,
+//! from ordinary (non-signal) context, and treats a mismatch as "stale,
+//! rebuild" -- exactly the check `atfork_child` used to perform directly.

-//! Differential refresh testing.
-//!
-//! The refresh contract is a property: after any sequence of source
-//! mutations, a view maintained by default (incremental-where-possible)
-//! refreshes equals the definition evaluated against the source directly,
-//! and so does a forced rebuild. The oracle is an independent read of the
-//! source -- plain column scan, filter applied in Rust -- so it shares
-//! nothing with the refresh path it checks.
-//!
-//! The oracle runs after every step, not just at the end: a later mutation
-//! that forces a rebuild would silently heal an incremental error, and those
-//! transient errors are exactly the bugs this exists to catch.

-//! Refreshing materialized views.
+//! Full refresh for materialized views.
 //!
-//! A refresh pins one source version and brings the view to exactly the
-//! definition's result at that version: added rows are computed and appended,
-//! removed or changed rows are evicted by provenance id and recomputed in the
-//! same pass. Compaction outputs cost nothing, which is only sound while
-//! [`SOURCE_ROW_ID_COLUMN`] stays valid across the rewrite. Anything the
-//! classifier cannot prove intact rebuilds; an indexed rebuild swaps all
-//! fragments in one commit that retains index definitions.
-//!
-//! The watermark ([`SOURCE_VERSION_META_KEY`]) lands in a follow-up commit; a
-//! crash or race between the two leaves the view visibly unstamped and the
-//! next refresh rebuilds. In-process refreshes serialize on a per-view lock;
-//! across processes the commit's inserted-rows filter carries a shared token,
-//! so two refreshes of one view conflict and only one lands.
+//! A refresh evaluates the definition at one source version, stages the
+//! complete result, and atomically replaces every fragment of the view.

+//! WAL-PK-FUSION: hybrid search's primary-key fallback for MemWAL tables.
+//!
+//! Hybrid search joins its vector and full-text legs on `_rowid`, which a
+//! MemWAL table cannot supply: the fresh tier has no stable row id, so the
+//! server rejects `with_row_id` before it plans. When that happens the legs are
+//! joined on a surrogate `_rowid` built from the table's primary key instead.
+//!
+//! This is a stopgap until MemWAL supports `_rowid`, and everything it needs
+//! lives here so it can be removed in one pass:
+//!
+//! 1. Delete this file and its `mod wal_fusion;` line in `query.rs`.
+//! 2. Run `grep -rn WAL-PK-FUSION rust/ python/` and follow the note at each
+//!    marker; the Python side has its own copy in `lancedb/_wal_hybrid.py`.

+//! A statement without parameters is polled: `PollFlightInfo` starts it
+//! detached from the connection and `DoGet` reads its endpoints. Neither call
+//! carries Arrow data, so a statement's values would have to be spelled into
+//! its text. A statement with parameters is sent on one `DoExchange` instead:
+//! the command and the parameter schema, then one row, and the result rows
+//! come back on the same call. The call is the statement's lifetime, so
+//! cancelling it -- or dropping the handle before reading -- stops the
+//! statement on the server.

+//! Persistent OAuth token cache and session lifecycle APIs.
+//!
+//! By default, OAuth sessions are kept in process memory only (see
+//! [`OAuthHeaderProvider`](crate::remote::OAuthHeaderProvider)). Short-lived
+//! processes such as CLI tools, notebooks, or scripts would otherwise have to
+//! run a full interactive browser or device flow on every start. Configuring
+//! [`TokenCacheOptions`] on an [`OAuthConfig`](crate::remote::OAuthConfig) opts
+//! in to an explicit, hardened, on-disk cache that stores only the refresh
+//! token plus non-secret metadata, so a second process can silently refresh
+//! instead of re-prompting.
+//!
+//! Security properties:
+//!
+//! - Opt-in only; callers that do not configure a cache stay memory-only.
+//! - Only refresh tokens are persisted. Access tokens never touch disk, so
+//!   there are no local expiry decisions to get wrong when clocks move.
+//! - No client secret is ever stored.
+//! - The cache directory is private (`0700`) and each record is `0600`,
+//!   owner-checked, and symlink-rejected on Unix; records are replaced
+//!   atomically via `rename` so a crash can never leave a torn file.
+//! - Cache filenames are SHA-256 hashes of the canonical issuer, client,
+//!   scope, resource, audience, flow, and client-auth identity. No secret appears
+//!   in a filename.
+//! - Refresh-token rotation is serialized across processes with a per-key
+//!   advisory file lock (`flock` on Unix, `LockFileEx` on Windows). The
+//!   operating system releases these locks when a process dies, so a crash
+//!   cannot leave a stale lock behind.
+//!
+//! Use [`OAuthSession`] to explicitly `login`, inspect `status`, or `logout`
+//! without issuing a database request.
+//!
+//! # Example
+//!
+//! ```

+//! Source-change detection for computed columns.
+//!
+//! A refresh fills nulls, so once a value is durable nothing recomputes it and
+//! a later write to one of its inputs leaves it stale forever. Two stamps in
+//! the column's field metadata close that: the definition it was computed
+//! under, and a per-fragment signature of the input storage it was computed
+//! from. A refresh compares both with the manifest and recomputes what
+//! disagrees. Signatures are read from manifests, never from data.
+//!
+//! The map is not stored in the manifest: it is one entry per fragment per
+//! column, which would dominate the manifest of a large table with many
+//! computed columns. It lives in an immutable sidecar object under
+//! `_computed/`, named by its content digest, and the field metadata holds
+//! only the reference. Sidecars no retained version references are removed
+//! by [`prune_sidecars`].
