A broad documentation pass across the areas LanceDB Enterprise and Embedded diverge on most: **Data Curation** -- GPU Function execution, Slurm scheduling (and what Slurm is, for readers new to it), blob late materialization as its own page, joins, aggregation/profiling, sampling, near-duplicate detection, chunking, distributed shuffle, and IVF-partition clustering. **Feature Engineering** -- computed columns and materialized views, restructured to lead with the Function-based path and show the SQL form side by side with Python throughout; a single Auto Refresh page instead of duplicating scheduling details on every refresh page; adaptive execution; checkpointing; GPU and Slurm placement for refresh workers; a Training Cache page for the PyTorch data loader's automatic cache benefit. **Security & Governance** -- an Audit Log reference (schema, access, grants), Secrets promoted to an ordinary catalog object with their own SQL DDL and a vending/rotation guide, and privilege-table fixes verified against the authorization source. **Deployment & Maintenance** -- Horizontal Scaling and OpenTelemetry moved into a real Deployment area; Automated Cleanup folded into Intelligent Auto-Maintenance (every other maintenance decision already lived there); RTE Compaction and Advanced Conflict Resolution documented in depth. **Landing page** -- the Enterprise feature comparison table reorganized (several redundant or stale rows removed, several new areas added), and the "why Enterprise" bullets replaced with ones tied to a concrete page (Performance, Scale, Fault tolerance, Multicloud deployment, Simplify operations) instead of vague promises. Plus a full pass addressing lancedb-gatekeeper's review: a real test-safety bug (a quickstart test could silently overwrite and delete a deployment's own `frames` table), a fabricated SQL statement with no backing implementation, an actual dedup-guarantee bug in `take_row_ids`, and dozens of documentation-accuracy fixes verified against source rather than taken on faith -- each either fixed, or left with an explicit note on why it needs a feature or deployment owner's sign-off instead of being guessed at. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) https://claude.ai/code/session_018PXMCbRH6i5w47TsjeEUMT --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## CREATE INDEX {#create}
|
|
|
|
<CodeGroup>
|
|
```sql SQL icon="database"
|
|
CREATE INDEX ON documents USING btree (title)
|
|
CREATE INDEX text_search ON documents USING fts (text)
|
|
```
|
|
</CodeGroup>
|
|
|
|
`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
|
|
[Incremental Indexing](/indexing/incremental-indexing).
|
|
</Note>
|
|
|
|
## DROP INDEX {#drop}
|
|
|
|
<CodeGroup>
|
|
```sql SQL icon="database"
|
|
DROP INDEX documents.title_idx
|
|
```
|
|
</CodeGroup>
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
`DROP INDEX` reports it as not found.
