     ```
 
+    #### Nested schemas
+
+    Sometimes your data model may contain nested objects.
+    For example, you may want to store the document string
+    and the document soure name as a nested Document object:
+
+    ```python
+    class Document(BaseModel):
+        content: str
+        source: str
+    ```
+
+    This can be used as the type of a LanceDB table column:
+
+    ```python
+    class NestedSchema(LanceModel):
+        id: str
+        vector: Vector(1536)
+        document: Document
+
+    tbl = db.create_table("nested_table", schema=NestedSchema, mode="overwrite")
+    ```
+
+    This creates a struct column called "document" that has two subfields 
+    called "content" and "source":
+
+    ```
+    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
+
+    Note that neither pydantic nor pyarrow automatically validates that input data
+    is of the *correct* timezone, but this is easy to add as a custom field validator:
+
+    ```python
+    from datetime import datetime
+    from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo
+
+    from lancedb.pydantic import LanceModel
+    from pydantic import Field, field_validator, ValidationError, ValidationInfo
+
+    tzname = "America/New_York"
+    tz = ZoneInfo(tzname)
+
+    class TestModel(LanceModel):
+        dt_with_tz: datetime = Field(json_schema_extra={"tz": tzname})
+
+        @field_validator('dt_with_tz')
+        @classmethod
+        def tz_must_match(cls, dt: datetime) -> datetime:
+            assert dt.tzinfo == tz
+            return dt        
+
+    ok = TestModel(dt_with_tz=datetime.now(tz))
+
+    try:
+        TestModel(dt_with_tz=datetime.now(ZoneInfo("Asia/Shanghai")))
+        assert 0 == 1, "this should raise ValidationError"
+    except ValidationError:
+        print("A ValidationError was raised.")
+        pass
+    ```
+
+    When you run this code it should print "A ValidationError was raised."
+
+    #### Pydantic custom types
+
+    LanceDB does NOT yet support converting pydantic custom types. If this is something you need,
+    please file a feature request on the [LanceDB Github repo](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/issues/new).

This means that failed transactions can leave around data that takes up disk space for up to 7 days. You can override this safety mechanism by setting this option to `true`, only if you promise there are no in progress writes while you run this operation.

+
+
+### Output formats
+
+LanceDB returns results in many different formats commonly used in python.
+Let's create a LanceDB table with a nested schema:
+
+```python
+from datetime import datetime
+import lancedb
+from lancedb.pydantic import LanceModel, Vector
+import numpy as np
+from pydantic import BaseModel
+uri = "data/sample-lancedb-nested"
+
+class Metadata(BaseModel):
+    source: str
+    timestamp: datetime
+
+class Document(BaseModel):
+    content: str
+    meta: Metadata
+
+class LanceSchema(LanceModel):
+    id: str
+    vector: Vector(1536)
+    payload: Document
+
+# Let's add 100 sample rows to our dataset
+data = [LanceSchema(
+    id=f"id{i}",
+    vector=np.random.randn(1536),
+    payload=Document(
+        content=f"document{i}", meta=Metadata(source=f"source{i%10}", timestamp=datetime.now())
+    ),
+) for i in range(100)]
+
+tbl = db.create_table("documents", data=data)
+```
+
+#### As a pyarrow table
+
+Using `to_arrow()` we can get the results back as a pyarrow Table.
+This result table has the same columns as the LanceDB table, with 
+the addition of an `_distance` column for vector search or a `score`
+column for full text search.
+
+```python
+tbl.search(np.random.randn(1536)).to_arrow()
+```
+
+#### As a pandas dataframe
+
+You can also get the results as a pandas dataframe.
+
+```python
+tbl.search(np.random.randn(1536)).to_pandas()
+```
+
+While other formats like Arrow/Pydantic/Python dicts have a natural 
+way to handle nested schemas, pandas can only store nested data as a 
+python dict column, which makes it difficult to support nested references.
+So for convenience, you can also tell LanceDB to flatten a nested schema 
+when creating the pandas dataframe. 
+
+```python
+tbl.search(np.random.randn(1536)).to_pandas(flatten=True)
+```
+
+If your table has a deeply nested struct, you can control how many levels
+of nesting to flatten by passing in a positive integer.
+
+```python
+tbl.search(np.random.randn(1536)).to_pandas(flatten=1)
+```
+
+
+#### As a list of python dicts
+
+You can of course return results as a list of python dicts.
+
+```python
+tbl.search(np.random.randn(1536)).to_list()
+```
+
+#### As a list of pydantic models
+
+We can add data using pydantic models, and we can certainly
+retrieve results as pydantic models
+
+```python
+tbl.search(np.random.randn(1536)).to_pydantic(LanceSchema)
+```
+
+Note that in this case the extra `_distance` field is discarded since
+it's not part of the LanceSchema.

+   * @param column The column to index

+   *
+   * Scalar indices, like vector indices, can be used to speed up scans.  A scalar
+   * index can speed up scans that contain filter expressions on the indexed column.
+   * For example, the following scan will be faster if the column `my_col` has
+   * a scalar index:
+   *
+   * ```ts
+   * const con = await lancedb.connect('./.lancedb');
+   * const table = await con.openTable('images');
+   * const results = await table.where('my_col = 7').execute();
+   * ```
+   *
+   * Scalar indices can also speed up scans containing a vector search and a
+   * prefilter:
+   *
+   * ```ts
+   * const con = await lancedb.connect('././lancedb');
+   * const table = await con.openTable('images');
+   * const results = await table.search([1.0, 2.0]).where('my_col != 7').prefilter(true);
+   * ```
+   *
+   * Scalar indices can only speed up scans for basic filters using
+   * equality, comparison, range (e.g. `my_col BETWEEN 0 AND 100`), and set
+   * membership (e.g. `my_col IN (0, 1, 2)`)
+   *
+   * Scalar indices can be used if the filter contains multiple indexed columns and
+   * the filter criteria are AND'd or OR'd together
+   * (e.g. `my_col < 0 AND other_col> 100`)
+   *
+   * Scalar indices may be used if the filter contains non-indexed columns but,
+   * depending on the structure of the filter, they may not be usable.  For example,
+   * if the column `not_indexed` does not have a scalar index then the filter
+   * `my_col = 0 OR not_indexed = 1` will not be able to use any scalar index on
+   * `my_col`.
+   *
+   * @examples
+   *

+        """Create a scalar index on a column.
+
+        Scalar indices, like vector indices, can be used to speed up scans.  A scalar
+        index can speed up scans that contain filter expressions on the indexed column.
+        For example, the following scan will be faster if the column ``my_col`` has
+        a scalar index:
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            import lancedb
+
+            db = lancedb.connect("/data/lance")
+            img_table = db.open_table("images")
+            my_df = img_table.search().where("my_col = 7", prefilter=True).to_pandas()
+
+        Scalar indices can also speed up scans containing a vector search and a
+        prefilter:
+
+        .. code-block::python
+
+            import lancedb
+
+            db = lancedb.connect("/data/lance")
+            img_table = db.open_table("images")
+            img_table.search([1, 2, 3, 4], vector_column_name="vector")
+                .where("my_col != 7", prefilter=True)
+                .to_pandas()
+
+        Scalar indices can only speed up scans for basic filters using
+        equality, comparison, range (e.g. ``my_col BETWEEN 0 AND 100``), and set
+        membership (e.g. `my_col IN (0, 1, 2)`)
+
+        Scalar indices can be used if the filter contains multiple indexed columns and
+        the filter criteria are AND'd or OR'd together
+        (e.g. ``my_col < 0 AND other_col> 100``)
+
+        Scalar indices may be used if the filter contains non-indexed columns but,
+        depending on the structure of the filter, they may not be usable.  For example,
+        if the column ``not_indexed`` does not have a scalar index then the filter
+        ``my_col = 0 OR not_indexed = 1`` will not be able to use any scalar index on
+        ``my_col``.
+
+        **Experimental API**
+
+        Parameters
+        ----------
+        column : str
+            The column to be indexed.  Must be a boolean, integer, float,
+            or string column.
+        replace : bool, default True
+            Replace the existing index if it exists.
