+## FAQ
+
+### When is it necessary to create an ANN vector index.
+
+`LanceDB` has manually tuned SIMD code for computing vector distances.
+In our benchmarks, computing 100K pairs of 1K dimension vectors only take less than 20ms.
+For small dataset (<100K rows) or the applications which can accept 100ms latency, vector indices are usually not necessary.
+
+For large-scale or higher dimension vectors, it is beneficial to create vector index.
+
+### How big is my index, and how many memory will it take.
+
+In LanceDB, all vector indices are disk-based, meaning that when responding to a vector query, only the relevant pages from the index file are loaded from disk and cached in memory. Additionally, each sub-vector is usually encoded into 1 byte PQ code.
+
+For example, with a 1024-dimension dataset, if we choose `num_sub_vectors=64`, each sub-vector has `1024 / 64 = 16` float32 numbers.
+Product quantization can lead to approximately `16 * sizeof(float32) / 1 = 64` times of space reduction.
+
+### How to choose `num_partitions` and `num_sub_vectors` for `IVF_PQ` index.
+
+`num_partitions` is used to decide how many partitions the first level `IVF` index uses.
+Higher number of partitions could lead to more efficient I/O during queries and better accuracy, but it takes much more time to train.
+On `SIFT-1M` dataset, our benchmark shows that keeping each partition 1K-4K rows lead to a good latency / recall.
+
+`num_sub_vectors` decides how many Product Quantization code to generate on each vector. Because
+Product Quantization is a lossy compression of the original vector, the more `num_sub_vectors` usually results to
+less space distortion, and thus yield better accuracy. However, similarly, more `num_sub_vectors` causes heavier I/O and
+more PQ computation, thus, higher latency. `dimension / num_sub_vectors` should be aligned with 8 for better SIMD efficiency.

+
+=== "Javascript"
+      ```javascript
+      await tbl.delete('item = "fizz"')
+      ```
+
+The deletion predicate is a SQL expression that supports the same expressions
+as the `where()` clause on a search. They can be as simple or complex as needed.
+To see what expressions are supported, see the [SQL filters](sql.md) section.

+
+## How to remove a table
+
+Use the `drop_table()` method on the database to remove a table.
+
+=== "Python"
+      ```python
+      db.drop_table("my_table")
+      ```
+
+This permanently removes the table and is not recoverable, unlike deleting rows.
+By default, if the table does not exist an exception is raised. To suppress this,
+you can pass in `ignore_missing=True`.
+
+
 ## What's next
 
 This section covered the very basics of the LanceDB API.
 LanceDB supports many additional features when creating indices to speed up search and options for search.
 These are contained in the next section of the documentation.
+
+## Note: Bundling vectorDB apps with webpack
+Since LanceDB contains a prebuilt Node binary, you must configure `next.config.js` to exclude it from webpack. This is required for both using Next.js and deploying on Vercel.
+```javascript
+/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
+module.exports = ({
+  webpack(config) {
+    config.externals.push({ vectordb: 'vectordb' })
+    return config;
+  }
+})
+```

+
+## Development
+
+First, rename `.env.example` to `.env.local`, and fill out `OPENAI_API_KEY` with your OpenAI API key. You can get one [here](https://openai.com/blog/openai-api).
+
+Run the development server:
+
+```bash
+npm run dev
+# or
+yarn dev
+# or
+pnpm dev
+```
+
+Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see the result.
+
+This project uses [`next/font`](https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/font-optimization) to automatically optimize and load Inter, a custom Google Font.
+
+## Learn More
+
+To learn more about LanceDB or Next.js, take a look at the following resources:
+
+- [LanceDB Documentation](https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/) - learn about LanceDB, the developer-friendly serverless vector database.
+- [Next.js Documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs) - learn about Next.js features and API.
+- [Learn Next.js](https://nextjs.org/learn) - an interactive Next.js tutorial.
+
+## LanceDB on Next.js and Vercel
+
+FYI: these configurations have been pre-implemented in this template.
+
+Since LanceDB contains a prebuilt Node binary, you must configure `next.config.js` to exclude it from webpack. This is required for both using Next.js and deploying on Vercel.
+```js
+/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
+module.exports = ({
+  webpack(config) {
+    config.externals.push({ vectordb: 'vectordb' })
+    return config;
+  }
+})
+```
+
+To deploy on Vercel, we need to make sure that the NodeJS runtime static file analysis for Vercel can find the binary, since LanceDB uses dynamic imports by default. We can do this by modifying `package.json` in the `scripts` section.
+```json
+{
+  ...
+  "scripts": {
+    ...
+    "vercel-build": "sed -i 's/nativeLib = require(`@lancedb\\/vectordb-\\${currentTarget()}`);/nativeLib = require(`@lancedb\\/vectordb-linux-x64-gnu`);/' node_modules/vectordb/native.js && next build",

+## Embed and query data from LanceDB using TransformersJS
+
+<img id="splash" width="400" alt="transformersjs" src="https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/assets/43097991/88a31e30-3d6f-4eef-9216-4b7c688f1b4f">
+
+This example shows how to use the [transformers.js](https://github.com/xenova/transformers.js) library to perform vector embedding search using LanceDB's Javascript API.
+
+
+### Setting up
+First, install the dependencies:
+```bash
+npm install vectordb
+npm i @xenova/transformers
+```
+
+We will also be using the [all-MiniLM-L6-v2](https://huggingface.co/Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2) model to make it compatible with Transformers.js
+
+Within our `index.js` file we will import the necessary libraries and define our model and database:
+
+```javascript
+const lancedb = require('vectordb')
+const { pipeline } = await import('@xenova/transformers')
+const pipe = await pipeline('feature-extraction', 'Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2');
+```
+
+### Creating the embedding function
+
+Next, we will create a function that will take in a string and return the vector embedding of that string. We will use the `pipe` function we defined earlier to get the vector embedding of the string.
+
+```javascript
+// Define the function. `sourceColumn` is required for LanceDB to know
+// which column to use as input.
+const embed_fun = {}
+embed_fun.sourceColumn = 'text'
+embed_fun.embed = async function (batch) {
+    let result = []
+    // Given a batch of strings, we will use the `pipe` function to get
+    // the vector embedding of each string.
+    for (let text of batch) {
+        // 'mean' pooling and normalizing allows the embeddings to share the
+        // same length.
+        const res = await pipe(text, { pooling: 'mean', normalize: true })
+        result.push(Array.from(res['data']))
+    }
+    return (result)
+}
+```
+
+### Creating the database
+
+Now, we will create the LanceDB database and add the embedding function we defined earlier.
+
+```javascript
+// Link a folder and create a table with data
+const db = await lancedb.connect('data/sample-lancedb')
+
+// You can also import any other data, but make sure that you have a column
+// for the embedding function to use.
+const data = [
+    { id: 1, text: 'Cherry', type: 'fruit' },
+    { id: 2, text: 'Carrot', type: 'vegetable' },
+    { id: 3, text: 'Potato', type: 'vegetable' },
+    { id: 4, text: 'Apple', type: 'fruit' },
+    { id: 5, text: 'Banana', type: 'fruit' }
+]
+
+// Create the table with the embedding function
+const table = await db.createTable('food_table', data, "create", embed_fun)
+```
+
+### Performing the search
+
+Now, we can perform the search using the `search` function. LanceDB automatically uses the embedding function we defined earlier to get the vector embedding of the query string.
+
+```javascript
+// Query the table
+const results = await table
+    .search("a sweet fruit to eat")
+    .metricType("cosine")
+    .limit(2)
+    .execute()
+console.log(results.map(r => r.text))
+```
+```bash
+[ 'Banana', 'Cherry' ]
+```
+
+Output of `results`:
+```bash
+[
+  {
+    vector: Float32Array(384) [
+      -0.057455405592918396,
+      0.03617725893855095,
+      -0.0367760956287384,
+      ... 381 more items
+    ],
+    id: 5,
+    text: 'Banana',
+    type: 'fruit',
+    _distance: 0.4919965863227844
+  },
+  {
+    vector: Float32Array(384) [
+      0.0009714411571621895,
+      0.008223623037338257,

+    text: 'Cherry',
+    type: 'fruit',
+    _distance: 0.5540297031402588
+  }
+]
+```

+            {"vector": [0.2, 1.8], "lat": 40.1, "long": -74.1}]
+
+    db.create_table("my_table", data)
+
+    db["my_table"].head()
+    ```
+
+    !!! info "Note"
+        If the table already exists, LanceDB will raise an error by default. If you want to overwrite the table, you can pass in mode="overwrite" to the createTable function.
+
+        ```python
+        db.create_table("name", data, mode="overwrite")
+        ```
+
+
+    ### From pandas DataFrame
+
+    ```python
+    import pandas as pd
+
+    data = pd.DataFrame({
+        "vector": [[1.1, 1.2], [0.2, 1.8]],
+        "lat": [45.5, 40.1],
+        "long": [-122.7, -74.1]
+    })
+
+    db.create_table("table2", data)
+
+    db["table2"].head() 
+    ```
+    !!! info "Note"
+        Data is converted to Arrow before being written to disk. For maximum control over how data is saved, either provide the PyArrow schema to convert to or else provide a PyArrow Table directly.
+  
+    ```python
+    custom_schema = pa.schema([
+    pa.field("vector", pa.list_(pa.float32(), 2)),
+    pa.field("lat", pa.float32()),
+    pa.field("long", pa.float32())
+    ])
+
+    table = db.create_table("table3", data, schema=custom_schema)
+    ```
+
+    ### From PyArrow Tables
+    You can also create LanceDB tables directly from pyarrow tables
+    
+    ```python
+    table = pa.Table.from_arrays(
+            [
+                pa.array([[3.1, 4.1], [5.9, 26.5]],
+                        pa.list_(pa.float32(), 2)),
+                pa.array(["foo", "bar"]),
+                pa.array([10.0, 20.0]),
+            ],
+            ["vector", "item", "price"],
+        )
+
+    db = lancedb.connect("db")
+
+    tbl = db.create_table("test1", table)
+    ```
+
+    ### From Pydantic Models
+    LanceDB supports to create Apache Arrow Schema from a Pydantic BaseModel via pydantic_to_schema() method.
+
+    ```python
+    from lancedb.pydantic import vector, LanceModel
+
+    class Content(LanceModel):
+        movie_id: int
+        vector: vector(128)
+        genres: str
+        title: str
+        imdb_id: int
+            
+        @property
+        def imdb_url(self) -> str:
+            return f"https://www.imdb.com/title/tt{self.imdb_id}"
+
+    import pyarrow as pa
+    db = lancedb.connect("~/.lancedb")
+    table_name = "movielens_small"
+    table = db.create_table(table_name, schema=Content.to_arrow_schema())
+    ```
+
+    ### Using Iterators / Writing Large Datasets
+
+    It is recommended to use itertators to add large datasets in batches when creating your table in one go. This does not create multiple versions of your dataset unlike manually adding batches using `table.add()`
+
+    LanceDB additionally supports pyarrow's `RecordBatch` Iterators or other generators producing supported data types.
+
+    Here's an example using using `RecordBatch` iterator for creating tables.
+    
+    ```python
+    import pyarrow as pa
+
+    def make_batches():
+        for i in range(5):
+            yield pa.RecordBatch.from_arrays(
+                [
+                    pa.array([[3.1, 4.1], [5.9, 26.5]],
+                            pa.list_(pa.float32(), 2)),
+                    pa.array(["foo", "bar"]),
+                    pa.array([10.0, 20.0]),
+                ],
+                ["vector", "item", "price"],
+            )
+
+    schema = pa.schema([
+        pa.field("vector", pa.list_(pa.float32(), 2)),
+        pa.field("item", pa.utf8()),
+        pa.field("price", pa.float32()),
+    ])
+
+    db.create_table("table4", make_batches(), schema=schema)
+    ```
+
+    You can also use iterators of other types like Pandas dataframe or Pylists directly in the above example.
+
+    ## Creating Empty Table
+    You can also create empty tables in python. Initialize it with schema and later ingest data into it.
+    
+    ```python
+    import lancedb
+    import pyarrow as pa
+  
+    schema = pa.schema(
+      [
+          pa.field("vector", pa.list_(pa.float32(), 2)),
+          pa.field("item", pa.string()),
+          pa.field("price", pa.float32()),
+      ])
+    tbl = db.create_table("table5", schema=schema)
+    data = [
+        {"vector": [3.1, 4.1], "item": "foo", "price": 10.0},
+        {"vector": [5.9, 26.5], "item": "bar", "price": 20.0},
+    ]
+    tbl.add(data=data)
+    ```
+
+    You can also use Pydantic to specify the schema
+
+    ```python
+    import lancedb
+    from lancedb.pydantic import LanceModel, vector
+
+    class Model(LanceModel):
+          vector: vector(2)
+    
+    tbl = db.create_table("table5", schema=Model.to_arrow_schema())
+    ```
+
+=== "Javascript/Typescript"
+
+    ### VectorDB Connection
+
+    ```javascript
+    const lancedb = require("vectordb");
+
+    const uri = "data/sample-lancedb";
+    const db = await lancedb.connect(uri);
+    ```
+
+    ### Creating a Table
+
+    You can create a LanceDB table in javascript using an array of records.
+
+    ```javascript
+    data
+    const tb = await db.createTable("my_table",
+                  data=[{"vector": [3.1, 4.1], "item": "foo", "price": 10.0},
+                        {"vector": [5.9, 26.5], "item": "bar", "price": 20.0}])
+    ```
+
+    !!! info "Note"
+    If the table already exists, LanceDB will raise an error by default. If you want to overwrite the table, you need to specify the `WriteMode` in the createTable function.
+
+    ```javascript
+    const table = await con.createTable(tableName, data, { writeMode: WriteMode.Overwrite })
+    ```
+
+## Open existing tables
+
+If you forget the name of your table, you can always get a listing of all table names:
+
+
+=== "Python"
+    ### Get a list of existing Tables
+
+    ```python
+    print(db.table_names())
+    ```
+=== "Javascript/Typescript"
+
+    ```javascript
+    console.log(await db.tableNames());
+    ```
+
+Then, you can open any existing tables
+
+=== "Python"
+
+    ```python
+    tbl = db.open_table("my_table")
+    ```
+=== "Javascript/Typescript"
+
+    ```javascript
+    const tbl = await db.openTable("my_table");
+    ```
+
+## Adding to a Table
+After a table has been created, you can always add more data to it using
+
+=== "Python"
+    You can add any of the valid data structures accepted by LanceDB table, i.e, `dict`, `list[dict]`, `pd.DataFrame`, or a `Iterator[pa.RecordBatch]`. Here are some examples.
+
+    ### Adding Pandas DataFrame
+
+    ```python
+    df = pd.DataFrame([{"vector": [1.3, 1.4], "item": "fizz", "price": 100.0},
+                  {"vector": [9.5, 56.2], "item": "buzz", "price": 200.0}])
+    tbl.add(df)
+    ```
+
+    You can also add a large dataset batch in one go using Iterator of any supported data types.
+
+    ### Adding to table using Iterator
+    
+    ```python
+    import pandas as pd
+
+    def make_batches():
+        for i in range(5):
+            yield pd.DataFrame(
+                {
+                    "vector": [[3.1, 4.1], [1, 1]],
+                    "item": ["foo", "bar"],
+                    "price": [10.0, 20.0],
+                })
+    
+    tbl.add(make_batches())
+    ```
+  
+    The other arguments accepted:
+
+    | Name | Type | Description | Default |
+    |---|---|---|---|
+    | data | DATA | The data to insert into the table. | required |
+    | mode | str | The mode to use when writing the data. Valid values are "append" and "overwrite". | append |
+    | on_bad_vectors | str | What to do if any of the vectors are not the same size or contains NaNs. One of "error", "drop", "fill". | drop |
+    | fill value | float | The value to use when filling vectors: Only used if on_bad_vectors="fill". | 0.0 |
+
+  
+=== "Javascript/Typescript"
+
+    ```javascript
+    await tbl.add([{vector: [1.3, 1.4], item: "fizz", price: 100.0},
+        {vector: [9.5, 56.2], item: "buzz", price: 200.0}])
+    ```
+
+## Deleting from a Table
+
+Use the `delete()` method on tables to delete rows from a table. To choose which rows to delete, provide a filter that matches on the metadata columns. This can delete any number of rows that match the filter.
+
+=== "Python"
+
+    ```python
+    tbl.delete('item = "fizz"')
+    ```
+
+    ### Deleting row with specific column value
+
+    ```python
+    import lancedb
+    import pandas as pd
+
+    data = pd.DataFrame({"x": [1, 2, 3], "vector": [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]})
+    db = lancedb.connect("./.lancedb")
+    table = db.create_table("my_table", data)
+    table.to_pandas()
+    #   x      vector
+    # 0  1  [1.0, 2.0]
+    # 1  2  [3.0, 4.0]
+    # 2  3  [5.0, 6.0]
+
+    table.delete("x = 2")
+    table.to_pandas()
+    #   x      vector
+    # 0  1  [1.0, 2.0]
+    # 1  3  [5.0, 6.0]
+    ```  
+
+    ### Delete from a list of values
+
+    ```python
+    to_remove = [1, 5]
+    to_remove = ", ".join(str(v) for v in to_remove)
+
+    table.delete(f"x IN ({to_remove})")
+    table.to_pandas()
+    #   x      vector
+    # 0  3  [5.0, 6.0]
+    ```
+  
+=== "Javascript/Typescript"
+
+    ```javascript
+    await tbl.delete('item = "fizz"')
+    ```
+
+    ### Deleting row with specific column value
+
+    ```javascript
+    const con = await lancedb.connect("./.lancedb")
+    const data = [
+      {id: 1, vector: [1, 2]},
+      {id: 2, vector: [3, 4]},
+      {id: 3, vector: [5, 6]},
+    ];
+    const tbl = await con.createTable("my_table", data)
+    await tbl.delete("id = 2")
+    await tbl.countRows() // Returns 2
+    ```
+
+    ### Delete from a list of values
+
+    ```javascript
+    const to_remove = [1, 5];
+    await tbl.delete(`id IN (${to_remove.join(",")})`)
+    await tbl.countRows() // Returns 1

-# Integrations
-
-Built on top of Apache Arrow, `LanceDB` is easy to integrate with the Python ecosystem, including Pandas, PyArrow and DuckDB.
-
-## Pandas and PyArrow
-
-First, we need to connect to a `LanceDB` database.
-
-``` py
-
-import lancedb
-
-db = lancedb.connect("/tmp/lancedb")
-```
-
-And write a `Pandas DataFrame` to LanceDB directly.
-
-```py
-import pandas as pd
-
-data = pd.DataFrame({
-    "vector": [[3.1, 4.1], [5.9, 26.5]],
-    "item": ["foo", "bar"],
-    "price": [10.0, 20.0]
-})
-table = db.create_table("pd_table", data=data)
-```
-
-You will find detailed instructions of creating dataset and index in [Basic Operations](basic.md) and [Indexing](ann_indexes.md)
-sections.
-
-
-We can now perform similarity searches via `LanceDB`.
-
-```py
-# Open the table previously created.
-table = db.open_table("pd_table")
-
-query_vector = [100, 100]
-# Pandas DataFrame
-df = table.search(query_vector).limit(1).to_df()
-print(df)
-```
-
-```
-    vector     item  price        score
-0  [5.9, 26.5]  bar   20.0  14257.05957
-```
-
-If you have a simple filter, it's faster to provide a where clause to `LanceDB`'s search query.
-If you have more complex criteria, you can always apply the filter to the resulting pandas `DataFrame` from the search query.
-
-```python
-
-# Apply the filter via LanceDB
-results = table.search([100, 100]).where("price < 15").to_df()
-assert len(results) == 1
-assert results["item"].iloc[0] == "foo"
-
-# Apply the filter via Pandas
-df = results = table.search([100, 100]).to_df()
-results = df[df.price < 15]
-assert len(results) == 1
-assert results["item"].iloc[0] == "foo"
-```
-
-## DuckDB
-
-`LanceDB` works with `DuckDB` via [PyArrow integration](https://duckdb.org/docs/guides/python/sql_on_arrow).
-
-Let us start with installing `duckdb` and `lancedb`.
-
-```shell
-pip install duckdb lancedb
-```
-
-We will re-use the dataset created previously
-
-```python
-import lancedb
-
-db = lancedb.connect("/tmp/lancedb")
-table = db.open_table("pd_table")
-arrow_table = table.to_arrow()
-```
-
-`DuckDB` can directly query the `arrow_table`:
-
-```python
-In [15]: duckdb.query("SELECT * FROM t")
-Out[15]:
-┌─────────────┬─────────┬────────┐
-│   vector    │  item   │ price  │
-│   float[]   │ varchar │ double │
-├─────────────┼─────────┼────────┤
-│ [3.1, 4.1]  │ foo     │   10.0 │
-│ [5.9, 26.5] │ bar     │   20.0 │
-└─────────────┴─────────┴────────┘
-
-In [16]: duckdb.query("SELECT mean(price) FROM t")
-Out[16]:
-┌─────────────┐
-│ mean(price) │
-│   double    │
-├─────────────┤
-│        15.0 │
-└─────────────┘

+Basic recipe
+____________
+
+The basic workflow to use LanceDB to create a similarity index on your FiftyOne
+datasets and use this to query your data is as follows:
+
+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
+
+The example below demonstrates this workflow.
+
+!!! Note
+
+    You must install the LanceDB Python client to run this
+    ```
+    pip install lancedb
+    ```
+

+)
+```
+Once the similarity index has been generated, we can query our data in FiftyOne
+by specifying the `brain_key`:
+
+```python
+# Step 4: Query your data
+query = dataset.first().id  # query by sample ID
+view = dataset.sort_by_similarity(
+    query, 
+    brain_key="lancedb_index",
+    k=10,  # limit to 10 most similar samples
+)
+
+# Step 5 (optional): Cleanup
+
+# Delete the LanceDB table
+lancedb_index.cleanup()
+
+# Delete run record from FiftyOne
+dataset.delete_brain_run("lancedb_index")

+
+• **delete**: (`filter`: `string`) => `Promise`<`void`\>
+
+#### Type declaration
+
+▸ (`filter`): `Promise`<`void`\>
+
+Delete rows from this table.
+
+This can be used to delete a single row, many rows, all rows, or
+sometimes no rows (if your predicate matches nothing).
+
+**`Examples`**
+
+```ts
+const con = await lancedb.connect("./.lancedb")
+const data = [
+   {id: 1, vector: [1, 2]},
+   {id: 2, vector: [3, 4]},
+   {id: 3, vector: [5, 6]},
+];
+const tbl = await con.createTable("my_table", data)
+await tbl.delete("id = 2")
+await tbl.countRows() // Returns 2
+```
+
+If you have a list of values to delete, you can combine them into a
+stringified list and use the `IN` operator:
+
+```ts
+const to_remove = [1, 5];
+await tbl.delete(`id IN (${to_remove.join(",")})`)
+await tbl.countRows() // Returns 1
+```
+
+##### Parameters

+db = lancedb.connect("data/sample-lancedb")
+```
+
+Afterwards, we write a `Pandas DataFrame` to LanceDB directly.
+
+```py
+import pandas as pd
+
+data = pd.DataFrame({
+    "vector": [[3.1, 4.1], [5.9, 26.5]],
+    "item": ["foo", "bar"],
+    "price": [10.0, 20.0]
+})
+table = db.create_table("pd_table", data=data)
+```
+
+Similar to [`pyarrow.write_dataset()`](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.dataset.write_dataset.html),
+[db.create_table()](../python/#lancedb.db.DBConnection.create_table) accepts a wide-range of forms of data.
+
+For example, if you have a dataset that is larger than memory size, you can create table with `Iterator[pyarrow.RecordBatch]`,
+to lazily generate data:
+
+```py
+
+from typing import Iterable
+import pyarrow as pa
+import lancedb
+
+def make_batches() -> Iterable[pa.RecordBatch]:
+    for i in range(5):
+        yield pa.RecordBatch.from_arrays(
+            [
+                pa.array([[3.1, 4.1], [5.9, 26.5]]),
+                pa.array(["foo", "bar"]),
+                pa.array([10.0, 20.0]),
+            ],
+            ["vector", "item", "price"])
+
+schema=pa.schema([
+    pa.field("vector", pa.list_(pa.float32())),
+    pa.field("item", pa.utf8()),
+    pa.field("price", pa.float32()),
+])
+
+table = db.create_table("iterable_table", data=make_batches(), schema=schema)
+```
+
+You will find detailed instructions of creating dataset in
+[Basic Operations](../basic.md) and [API](../python/#lancedb.db.DBConnection.create_table)
+sections.
+
+## Vector Search
+
+We can now perform similarity search via `LanceDB` Python API.
+
+```py
+# Open the table previously created.
+table = db.open_table("pd_table")
+
+query_vector = [100, 100]
+# Pandas DataFrame
+df = table.search(query_vector).limit(1).to_df()
+print(df)
+```
+
+```
+    vector     item  price    _distance
+0  [5.9, 26.5]  bar   20.0  14257.05957
+```
+
+If you have a simple filter, it's faster to provide a `where clause` to `LanceDB`'s search query.
+If you have more complex criteria, you can always apply the filter to the resulting Pandas `DataFrame`.
+
+```python
+
+# Apply the filter via LanceDB
+results = table.search([100, 100]).where("price < 15").to_df()
+assert len(results) == 1
+assert results["item"].iloc[0] == "foo"
+
+# Apply the filter via Pandas
+df = results = table.search([100, 100]).to_df()
+results = df[df.price < 15]
+assert len(results) == 1
+assert results["item"].iloc[0] == "foo"
+```

-### Search with Vector Index.
+
+### Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) Search with Vector Index.
+
+To accelerate vector retrievals, it is common to build vector indices.
+A vector index is a data structure specifically designed to efficiently organize and
+search vector data based on their similarity or distance metrics.
+By constructing a vector index, you can reduce the search space and avoid the need
+for brute-force scanning of the entire vector column.
+
+However, fast vector search using indices often entails making a trade-off with accuracy to some extent.
+This is why it is often called **Approximate Nearest Neighbors (ANN)** search, while the Flat Search (KNN)
+always returns 100% recall.
 
 See [ANN Index](ann_indexes.md) for more details.

+# LanceDB
+
+A Python library for [LanceDB](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb).
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install lancedb
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Example
+
+```python
+import lancedb
+db = lancedb.connect('<PATH_TO_LANCEDB_DATASET>')
+table = db.open_table('my_table')
+results = table.search([0.1, 0.3]).limit(20).to_df()
+print(results)
+```
+
+
+## Development
+
+Create a virtual environment and activate it:
+
+```bash
+python -m venv venv
+. ./venv/bin/activate
+```
+
+Install the necessary packages:
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install .
+```
+
+To run the unit tests:
+
+```bash
+pytest
+```
+
+To run linter and automatically fix all errors:
+
+```bash
+black .
+isort .
+```
+
+If any packages are missing, install them with:
+
+```bash
+pip install <PACKAGE_NAME>
+```
+
+
+___
+For **Windows** users, there may be errors when installing packages, so these commands may be helpful:
+
+Activate the virtual environment:
+```bash
+. .\venv\Scripts\activate
+```
+
+You may need to run the installs separately:
+```bash
+pip install -e .[tests]
+pip install -e .[dev]
+```
+
+
+`tantivy` requires `rust` to be installed, so install it with `conda`, as it doesn't support windows installation:
+```bash
+pip install wheel
+pip install cargo
+conda install rust
+pip install tantivy
+```
+
+To run the unit tests:
+```bash
+pytest
+```
