9330a9b851 feat(nodejs): expose connectNamespace for namespace-backed connections (#3383)
### Summary 

Adds a `connectNamespace(implName, properties, options?)` to the NodeJS
SDK`. Closes #3380.

### Testing
- pnpm test
- Ran smoke test

```
import { connectNamespace } from "lancedb"
import { tmpdir } from "os";
import { mkdtempSync } from "fs";
import { join } from "path";

const dir = mkdtempSync(join(tmpdir(), "lancedb-connect-namespace-smoke-"));
console.log(`Using temp dir: ${dir}\n`);

// 1. Happy path: connect via the "dir" namespace impl, create + list a table.
console.log('Connecting via connectNamespace("dir", { root })...');
const db = await connectNamespace("dir", { root: dir });
console.log("  ✓ connected:", db.display());

console.log("Creating a table and listing it...");
await db.createTable("users", [
  { id: 1, name: "alice" },
  { id: 2, name: "bob" },
]);
console.log("  ✓ tableNames ->", await db.tableNames());

const table = await db.openTable("users");
console.log("  ✓ users.countRows ->", await table.countRows());

// 2. Storage options pass-through.
console.log("\nReconnecting with storageOptions (plumbing check)...");
const dbWithOpts = await connectNamespace(
  "dir",
  { root: dir },
  { storageOptions: { newTableDataStorageVersion: "stable" } },
);
console.log("  ✓ connected with storageOptions:", dbWithOpts.display());
await dbWithOpts.close();

// 3. Empty implName -> clear error.
console.log("\nCalling connectNamespace('', {}) (expect error)...");
try {
  await connectNamespace("", {});
  console.error("  UNEXPECTED: empty implName did not throw");
} catch (err) {
  console.log(`  ✓ Got expected error: ${err.message.split("\n")[0]}`);
}

// 4. Unknown impl -> error.
console.log("\nCalling connectNamespace('not-a-real-impl', {}) (expect error)...");
try {
  await connectNamespace("not-a-real-impl", {});
  console.error("  UNEXPECTED: unknown impl did not throw");
} catch (err) {
  console.log(`  ✓ Got expected error: ${err.message.split("\n")[0]}`);
}

// 5. Create a table inside a child namespace, then reconnect with a fresh
//    connectNamespace call and confirm the table is reachable via that
//    namespace path. (The dir+manifest impl keeps the namespace hierarchy in
//    a root manifest, so "scoping" happens via namespacePath args, not by
//    pointing root at a subdir.)
console.log("\nCreating a table inside a child namespace...");
const dir2 = mkdtempSync(join(tmpdir(), "lancedb-connect-namespace-smoke-"));
const writer = await connectNamespace("dir", {
  root: dir2,
  manifest_enabled: "true",
});
await writer.createNamespace(["analytics"]);
await writer.createTable(
  "orders",
  [
    { id: 1, total: 10 },
    { id: 2, total: 20 },
  ],
  ["analytics"],
);
console.log(
  "  ✓ writer sees tables under [analytics] ->",
  await writer.tableNames(["analytics"]),
);
await writer.close();

console.log("Reconnecting and reading the table via its namespace path...");
const reader = await connectNamespace("dir", {
  root: dir2,
  manifest_enabled: "true",
});
console.log(
  "  ✓ reader tableNames(['analytics']) ->",
  await reader.tableNames(["analytics"]),
);
const orders = await reader.openTable("orders", ["analytics"]);
console.log("  ✓ orders.countRows via reader ->", await orders.countRows());
await reader.close();

await db.close();
console.log("\nAll checks passed.");
```

02de07576e feat(nodejs): add namespace management methods on Connection (#3371)
### Summary

Closes #3363 

Adds the four namespace management methods to the NodeJS `Connection`,
bringing parity with the Rust core and Python bindings:

- `listNamespaces(parent?, options?)`
- `createNamespace(namespacePath, options?)`
- `dropNamespace(namespacePath, options?)`
- `describeNamespace(namespacePath)`

### Test plan
- npm test
- Ran a smoke test script

```typescript
import { connect } from '<lancePath>'
import { tmpdir } from "os";
import { mkdtempSync } from "fs";
import { join } from "path";

const dir = mkdtempSync(join(tmpdir(), "lancedb-smoke-"));
console.log(`Using temp dir: ${dir}\n`);

const db = await connect(dir, {
  namespaceClientProperties: { manifest_enabled: "true" },
});

console.log("Creating namespaces...");
await db.createNamespace(["analytics"]);
await db.createNamespace(["analytics", "sales"], {
  properties: { owner: "brendan", purpose: "smoke-test" },
});
await db.createNamespace(["marketing"]);

const root = await db.listNamespaces();
console.log("Root namespaces:", root.namespaces);

const children = await db.listNamespaces(["analytics"]);
console.log("Children of 'analytics':", children.namespaces);

const descWithProps = await db.describeNamespace(["analytics", "sales"]);
console.log("Describe analytics/sales (with properties):", descWithProps);

const descNoProps = await db.describeNamespace(["analytics"]);
console.log("Describe analytics (no properties):", descNoProps);

console.log("Describing a non-existent namespace (expect error)...");
try {
  await db.describeNamespace(["does-not-exist"]);
  console.error("  UNEXPECTED: describe succeeded for non-existent namespace");
} catch (err) {
  console.log(`  ✓ Got expected error: ${err.message.split("\n")[0]}`);
}

await db.dropNamespace(["marketing"]);
const afterDrop = await db.listNamespaces();
console.log("Root after dropping marketing:", afterDrop.namespaces);

await db.close();
console.log("\nAll operations completed successfully.");
```

fd98b845ea fix(node): prevent reranker from keeping process alive (#3270)
Fixes #3269.

## What I observed
Using a reranker in a hybrid query could keep the Node.js process alive
even after `table.close()` and `db.close()`.

## Root cause
The reranker callback bridge used a `ThreadsafeFunction` in referenced
mode, which can keep the event loop alive longer than intended.

## Minimal fix
- In `nodejs/src/rerankers.rs`, create the reranker callback TSFN in
weak mode (`.weak::<true>()`).
- Add a regression test in `nodejs/__test__/rerankers.test.ts` that
spawns a child process, runs a rerank query, and asserts the process
exits naturally.

## Validation
- Built Node bindings successfully.
- Ran targeted tests: `rerankers.test.ts` passes (including new
regression test).
- Pre-commit checks for changed files were run and clean.

e26b22bcca refactor!: consolidate namespace related naming and enterprise integration (#3205)
1. Refactored every client (Rust core, Python, Node/TypeScript) so
“namespace” usage is explicit: code now keeps namespace paths
(namespace_path) separate from namespace clients (namespace_client).
Connections propagate the client, table creation routes through it, and
managed versioning defaults are resolved from namespace metadata. Python
gained LanceNamespaceDBConnection/async counterparts, and the
namespace-focused tests were rewritten to match the clarified API
surface.
2. Synchronized the workspace with Lance 5.0.0-beta.3 (see
https://github.com/lance-format/lance/pull/6186 for the upstream
namespace refactor), updating Cargo/uv lockfiles and ensuring all
bindings align with the new namespace semantics.
3. Added a namespace-backed code path to lancedb.connect() via new
keyword arguments (namespace_client_impl, namespace_client_properties,
plus the existing pushdown-ops flag). When those kwargs are supplied,
connect() delegates to connect_namespace, so users can opt into
namespace clients without changing APIs. (The async helper will gain
parity in a later change)

1ba19d728e feat(node): support Float16, Float64, and Uint8 vector queries (#3193)
Fixes #2716

## Summary

Add support for querying with Float16Array, Float64Array, and Uint8Array
vectors in the Node.js SDK, eliminating precision loss from the previous
\Float32Array.from()\ conversion.

## Implementation

Follows @wjones127's [5-step
plan](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/issues/2716#issuecomment-3447750543):

### Rust (\
odejs/src/query.rs\)

1. \ytes_to_arrow_array(data: Uint8Array, dtype: String)\ helper that:
   - Creates an Arrow \Buffer\ from the raw bytes
   - Wraps it in a typed \ScalarBuffer<T>\ based on the dtype enum
   - Constructs a \PrimitiveArray\ and returns \Arc<dyn Array>\
2. \
earest_to_raw(data, dtype)\ and \dd_query_vector_raw(data, dtype)\ NAPI
methods that pass the type-erased array to the core \
earest_to\/\dd_query_vector\ which already accept \impl
IntoQueryVector\ for \Arc<dyn Array>\

### TypeScript (\
odejs/lancedb/query.ts\, \rrow.ts\)

3. Extended \IntoVector\ type to include \Uint8Array\ (and
\Float16Array\ via runtime check for Node 22+)
4. \xtractVectorBuffer()\ helper detects non-Float32 typed arrays and
extracts their underlying byte buffer + dtype string
5. \
earestTo()\ and \ddQueryVector()\ route through the raw NAPI path when
the input is Float16/Float64/Uint8

### Backward compatibility

Existing \Float32Array\ and \
umber[]\ inputs are unchanged -- they still use the original \
earest_to(Float32Array)\ NAPI method. The new raw path is only used when
a non-Float32 typed array is detected.

## Usage

\\\	ypescript
// Float16Array (Node 22+) -- no precision loss
const f16vec = new Float16Array([0.1, 0.2, 0.3]);
const results = await
table.query().nearestTo(f16vec).limit(10).toArray();

// Float64Array -- no precision loss
const f64vec = new Float64Array([0.1, 0.2, 0.3]);
const results = await
table.query().nearestTo(f64vec).limit(10).toArray();

// Uint8Array (binary embeddings)
const u8vec = new Uint8Array([1, 0, 1, 1, 0]);
const results = await
table.query().nearestTo(u8vec).limit(10).toArray();

// Existing usage unchanged
const results = await table.query().nearestTo([0.1, 0.2,
0.3]).limit(10).toArray();
\\\

## Note on dependencies

The Rust side uses \rrow_array\, \rrow_buffer\, and \half\ crates.
These should already be in the dependency tree via \lancedb\ core, but
\Cargo.toml\ may need explicit entries for \half\ and the arrow
sub-crates in the nodejs workspace.

d1d720d08a feat(nodejs): support field/data type input in add_columns() method (#3114)
Add support for passing field/data type information into add_columns()
method, bringing parity with Python bindings. The method now accepts:

- AddColumnsSql[] - SQL expressions (existing functionality)
- Field - single Arrow field with explicit data type
- Field[] - array of Arrow fields with explicit data types
- Schema - Arrow schema with explicit data types

New columns added via Field/Schema are initialized with null values. All
field-based columns must be nullable due to null initialization.

Resolves #3107

4be85444f0 feat: infer js native arrays (#3119)
When we create tables without using Arrow by parsing JS records we
always infer to float64. Many times embeddings are not float64 and it
would be nice to be able to use the native type without requiring users
to pull in Arrow. We can utilize JS's builtin Float32Array to do this.
This PR also adds support for UInt8/16/32 and Int8/16/32 arrays as well.

Closes #3115

d3e15f3e17 fix(node): allow bigint[] for takeRowIds (#2916)
## Summary

This PR changes takeRowIds to accept bigint[] instead of 
number[], matching the type of _rowid returned by withRowId().

## Problem

When retrieving row IDs using \withRowId()\ and querying them back with
takeRowIds(), users get an error because:

1. _rowid values are returned as JavaScript bigint
2. takeRowIds() expected number[]
3. NAPI failed to convert: Error: Failed to convert napi value BigInt
into rust type i64

## Reproduction

\\\js
import lancedb from '@lancedb/lancedb';

const db = await lancedb.connect('memory://');
const table = await db.createTable('test', [{ id: 1, vector: [1.0, 2.0]
}]);

const results = await table.query().withRowId().toArray();
const rowIds = results.map(row => row._rowid);

console.log('types:', rowIds.map(id => typeof id)); // ['bigint']
await table.takeRowIds(rowIds).toArray(); // ❌ Error before fix
\\\

## Solution

- Updated TypeScript signature from takeRowIds(rowIds: number[]) to
takeRowIds(rowIds: bigint[])
- Updated Rust NAPI binding to accept Vec<BigInt> and convert using
get_u64()

Fixes #2722

5a19cf15a6 feat: a utility for creating "permutation views" (#2552)
I'm working on a lancedb version of pytorch data loading (and hopefully
addressing https://github.com/lancedb/lance/issues/3727).

However, rather than rely on pytorch for everything I'm moving some of
the things that pytorch does into rust. This gives us more control over
data loading (e.g. using shards or a hash-based split) and it allows
permutations to be persistent. In particular I hope to be able to:

* Create a persistent permutation
* This permutation can handle splits, filtering, shuffling, and sharding
* Create a rust data loader that can read a permutation (one or more
splits), or a subset of a permutation (for DDP)
* Create a python data loader that delegates to the rust data loader

Eventually create integrations for other data loading libraries,
including rust & node

917aabd077 fix(node): support specifying arrow field types by name (#2704)
The [`FieldLike` type in
arrow.ts](5ec12c9971/nodejs/lancedb/arrow.ts (L71-L78))
can have a `type: string` property, but before this change, actually
trying to create a table that has a schema that specifies field types by
name results in an error:

```
Error: Expected a Type but object was null/undefined
```

This change adds support for mapping some type name strings to arrow
`DataType`s, so that passing `FieldLike`s with a `type: string` property
to `sanitizeField` does not throw an error.

The type names that can be passed are upper/lowercase variations of the
keys of the `constructorsByTypeName` object. This does not support
mapping types that need parameters, such as timestamps which need
timezones.

With this, it is possible to create empty tables from `SchemaLike`
objects without instantiating arrow types, e.g.:

```
    import { SchemaLike } from "../lancedb/arrow"
    // ...
    const schemaLike = {
      fields: [
        {
          name: "id",
          type: "int64",
          nullable: true,
        },
        {
          name: "vector",
          type: "float64",
          nullable: true,
        },
      ],
    // ...
    } satisfies SchemaLike;
    const table = await con.createEmptyTable("test", schemaLike);
 ```

This change also makes `FieldLike.nullable` required since the `sanitizeField` function throws if it is undefined.

9e2a68541e fix(node): allow undefined/omitted values for nullable vector fields (#2656)
**Problem**: When a vector field is marked as nullable, users should be
able to omit it or pass `undefined`, but this was throwing an error:
"Table has embeddings: 'vector', but no embedding function was provided"

fixes: #2646

**Solution**: Modified `validateSchemaEmbeddings` to check
`field.nullable` before treating `undefined` values as missing embedding
fields.

**Changes**:
- Fixed validation logic in `nodejs/lancedb/arrow.ts`
- Enabled previously skipped test for nullable fields
- Added reproduction test case

**Behavior**:
-  `{ vector: undefined }` now works for nullable fields
-  `{}` (omitted field) now works for nullable fields  
-  `{ vector: null }` still works (unchanged)
-  Non-nullable fields still properly throw errors (unchanged)

Exposes `use_index` Merge Insert parameter, which was created upstream
in https://github.com/lancedb/lance/pull/4688.

## API Examples

### Python
```python
# Force table scan
table.merge_insert(["id"]) \
    .when_not_matched_insert_all() \
    .use_index(False) \
    .execute(data)
```

### Node.js/TypeScript
```typescript
// Force table scan  
await table.mergeInsert("id")
    .whenNotMatchedInsertAll()
    .useIndex(false)
    .execute(data);
```

### Rust
```rust
// Force table scan
let mut builder = table.merge_insert(&["id"]);
builder.when_not_matched_insert_all()
       .use_index(false);
builder.execute(data).await?;
```

b0800b4b71 fix: undefined values should become null in nullable fields (#2658)
### Bug Fix: Undefined Values in Nullable Fields

**Issue**: When inserting data with `undefined` values into nullable
fields, LanceDB was incorrectly coercing them to default values (`false`
for booleans, `NaN` for numbers, `""` for strings) instead of `null`.

**Fix**: Modified the `makeVector()` function in `arrow.ts` to properly
convert `undefined` values to `null` for nullable fields before passing
data to Apache Arrow.

fixes: #2645

**Result**: Now `{ text: undefined, number: undefined, bool: undefined
}` correctly becomes `{ text: null, number: null, bool: null }` when
fields are marked as nullable in the schema.

**Files Changed**: 
- `nodejs/lancedb/arrow.ts` (core fix)
- `nodejs/__test__/arrow.test.ts` (test coverage)

- This ensures proper null handling for nullable fields as expected by
users.

1befebf614 fix(node): handle null values in nullable boolean fields (#2657)
### Solution
Added special handling in `makeVector` function for boolean arrays where
all values are null. The fix creates a proper null bitmap using
`makeData` and `arrowMakeVector` instead of relying on Apache Arrow's
`vectorFromArray` which doesn't handle this edge case correctly.

fixes: #2644

### Changes
- Added null value detection for boolean types in `makeVector` function
- Creates proper Arrow data structure with null bitmap when all boolean
values are null
- Preserves existing behavior for non-null boolean values and other data
types

- Fixes the boolean null value bug while maintaining backward
compatibility.

2261eb95a0 fix(node): handle undefined vector fields with embedding functions (#2655)
- Fixes issue where passing `{ vector: undefined }` with an embedding
function threw "Found field not in schema" error instead of calling the
embedding function like `null` or omitted fields.

**Changes:**
- Modified `rowPathsAndValues` to skip undefined values during schema
inference
- Added test case verifying undefined, null, and omitted vector fields
all work correctly

**Before:** `{ vector: undefined }` → Error
**After:** `{ vector: undefined }` → Calls embedding function

Closes #2647

8da74dcb37 feat: support per-request header override (#2631)
## Summary

This PR introduces a `HeaderProvider` which is called for all remote
HTTP calls to get the latest headers to inject. This is useful for
features like adding the latest auth tokens where the header provider
can auto-refresh tokens internally and each request always set the
refreshed token.

ad09234d59 feat: allow setting train=False and name on indices (#2586)
Enables two new parameters when building indices:

* `name`: Allows explicitly setting a name on the index. Default is
`{col_name}_idx`.
* `train` (default `True`): When set to `False`, an empty index will be
immediately created.

The upgrade of Lance means there are also additional behaviors from
cd76a993b8:

* When a scalar index is created on a Table, it will be kept around even
if all rows are deleted or updated.
* Scalar indices can be created on empty tables. They will default to
`train=False` if the table is empty.

ed640a76d9 feat: add take_offsets and take_row_ids (#2584)
These operations have existed in lance for a long while and many users
need to drop down to lance for this capability. This PR adds the API and
implements it using filters (e.g. `_rowid IN (...)`) so that in doesn't
currently add any load to `BaseTable`. I'm not sure that is sustainable
as base table implementations may want to specialize how they handle
this method. However, I figure it is a good starting point.

In addition, unlike Lance, this API does not currently guarantee
anything about the order of the take results. This is necessary for the
fallback filter approach to work (SQL filters cannot guarantee result
order)

9d683e4f0b feat: infer vector columns when name contains 'vector' or 'embedding' (#2547)
## Summary

- Enhanced vector column detection to use substring matching instead of
exact matching
- Now detects columns with names containing "vector" or "embedding"
(case-insensitive)
- Added integer vector support to Node.js implementation (matching
Python)
- Comprehensive test coverage for both float and integer vector types

## Changes

### Python (`python/python/lancedb/table.py`)
- Updated `_infer_target_schema()` to use substring matching with helper
function `_is_vector_column()`
- Preserved original field names instead of forcing "vector"
- Consolidated duplicate logic for better maintainability

### Node.js (`nodejs/lancedb/arrow.ts`)
- Enhanced type inference with `nameSuggestsVectorColumn()` helper
function
- Added `isAllIntegers()` function with performance optimization (checks
first 10 elements)
- Implemented integer vector support using `Uint8` type (matching
Python)
- Improved type safety by removing `any` usage

### Tests
- **Python**: Added
`test_infer_target_schema_with_vector_embedding_names()` in
`test_util.py`
- **Node.js**: Added comprehensive test case in `arrow.test.ts`
- Both test suites cover various naming patterns and integer/float
vector types

## Examples of newly supported column names:
- `user_vector`, `text_embedding`, `doc_embeddings`
- `my_vector_field`, `embedding_model`
- `VECTOR_COL`, `Vector_Mixed` (case-insensitive)
- Both float and integer arrays are properly converted to fixed-size
lists

## Test plan
- [x] All existing tests pass (backward compatibility maintained)
- [x] New tests pass for both Python and Node.js implementations
- [x] Integer vector detection works correctly in Node.js
- [x] Code passes linting and formatting checks
- [x] Performance optimized for large vector arrays

Fixes #2546

`nprobes` with a value greater than 20 fails with the minimum error:

        See `nprobes` for more details.

        These partitions will be searched on every indexed vector query and will
        increase recall at the expense of latency.

E       ValueError: Invalid input, minimum_nprobes must be less than or equal to maximum_nprobes

python/lancedb/query.py:2744: ValueError
```

Putting the max set before the min seems reasonable but it causes this
reasonable case to fail:
```
def test_nprobes_min_max_works_sync(table):
    LanceVectorQueryBuilder(table, [0, 0], "vector").minimum_nprobes(2).maximum_nprobes(4).to_list()
```

with

```
self = <lancedb.query.AsyncVectorQuery object at 0x1203f1c90>, maximum_nprobes = 4

    def maximum_nprobes(self, maximum_nprobes: int) -> Self:
        """Set the maximum number of probes to use.

        See `nprobes` for more details.

        If this value is greater than `minimum_nprobes` then the excess partitions
        will be searched only if we have not found enough results.

        This can be useful when there is a narrow filter to allow these queries to
        spend more time searching and avoid potential false negatives.

        If this value is 0 then no limit will be applied and all partitions could be
        searched if needed to satisfy the limit.
        """
>       self._inner.maximum_nprobes(maximum_nprobes)
E       ValueError: Invalid input, maximum_nprobes must be greater than or equal to minimum_nprobes

python/lancedb/query.py:2761: ValueError
```.

The case I care about is where min == max, but this solution handles it
even if they're not. If both min and max exist, we set both to the
minimum and then set the max. This isn't 100% the same as the minimum
setter checks for 0 on the min and `.nprobes` does not do any sanity
checking at all. But I figured this was the most reasonable and general
solution without touching more of this code.

As part of this I noticed the error messages were a bit ambiguous so I
made them symmetric and clarified them while I was here.

## Summary

Fixes #2515 by implementing comprehensive support for missing columns in
Arrow table inputs when using embedding functions.

### Problem
Previously, when an Arrow table was passed to `fromDataToBuffer` with
missing columns and a schema containing embedding functions, the system
would fail because `applyEmbeddingsFromMetadata` expected all columns to
be present in the table.

272e4103b2 feat: provide timeout parameter for merge_insert (#2378)
Provides the ability to set a timeout for merge insert. The default
underlying timeout is however long the first attempt takes, or if there
are multiple attempts, 30 seconds. This has two use cases:

1. Make the timeout shorter, when you want to fail if it takes too long.
2. Allow taking more time to do retries.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **New Features**
- Added support for specifying a timeout when performing merge insert
operations in Python, Node.js, and Rust APIs.
- Introduced a new option to control the maximum allowed execution time
for merge inserts, including retry timeout handling.

- **Documentation**
- Updated and added documentation to describe the new timeout option and
its usage in APIs.

- **Tests**
- Added and updated tests to verify correct timeout behavior during

f315f9665a feat: implement bindings to return merge stats (#2367)
Based on this comment:
https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/issues/2228#issuecomment-2730463075
and https://github.com/lancedb/lance/pull/2357

Here is my attempt at implementing bindings for returning merge stats
from a `merge_insert.execute` call for lancedb.

Note: I have almost no idea what I am doing in Rust but tried to follow
existing code patterns and pay attention to compiler hints.
- The change in nodejs binding appeared to be necessary to get
compilation to work, presumably this could actual work properly by
returning some kind of NAPI JS object of the stats data?
- I am unsure of what to do with the remote/table.rs changes -
necessarily for compilation to work; I assume this is related to LanceDB
cloud, but unsure the best way to handle that at this point.

Proof of function:

```python
import pandas as pd
import lancedb


db = lancedb.connect("/tmp/test.db")

test_data = pd.DataFrame(
    {
        "title": ["Hello", "Test Document", "Example", "Data Sample", "Last One"],
        "id": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
        "content": [
            "World",
            "This is a test",
            "Another example",
            "More test data",
            "Final entry",
        ],
    }
)

table = db.create_table("documents", data=test_data, exist_ok=True, mode="overwrite")

update_data = pd.DataFrame(
    {
        "title": [
            "Hello, World",
            "Test Document, it's good",
            "Example",
            "Data Sample",
            "Last One",
            "New One",
        ],
        "id": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
        "content": [
            "World",
            "This is a test",
            "Another example",
            "More test data",
            "Final entry",
            "New content",
        ],
    }
)

stats = (
    table.merge_insert(on="id")
    .when_matched_update_all()
    .when_not_matched_insert_all()
    .execute(update_data)
)

print(stats)
```

returns

```
{'num_inserted_rows': 1, 'num_updated_rows': 5, 'num_deleted_rows': 0}
```
