Wyatt Alt 04948fc4f6 feat: computed columns as a param on add_columns
Per the interface design: computed columns are parameters on the
existing add_columns operation, not a separate method.

- BaseTable::add_computed_columns((name, sql_type) pairs + a f(args)
  expression) -- default NotSupported; RemoteTable posts 'computed'
  entries to the existing /v1/table/{id}/add_columns route.
- python add_columns gains computed= on LanceTable, RemoteTable, and
  AsyncTable: tbl.add_columns(computed={'doubled': ('FLOAT',
  'double_it(val)')}); grouped by expression so struct-returning
  functions' columns land adjacently.

LanceDB Python SDK

A Python library for LanceDB.

Installation

pip install lancedb

Preview Releases

Stable releases are created about every 2 weeks. For the latest features and bug fixes, you can install the preview release. These releases receive the same level of testing as stable releases, but are not guaranteed to be available for more than 6 months after they are released. Once your application is stable, we recommend switching to stable releases.

pip install --pre --extra-index-url https://pypi.fury.io/lancedb/ lancedb

Usage

Basic Example

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_list()
print(results)
