If you add timezone information in the Field annotation for a datetime then that will now be passed to the pyarrow data type. I'm not sure how pyarrow enforces timezones, right now, it silently coerces to the timezone given in the column regardless of whether the input had the matching timezone or not. This is probably not the right behavior. Though we could just make it so the user has to make the pydantic model do the validation instead of doing that at the pyarrow conversion layer.
LanceDB
A Python library for LanceDB.
Installation
pip install lancedb

import lancedb
db = lancedb.connect('<PATH_TO_LANCEDB_DATASET>')

print(results)
Development
Create a virtual environment and activate it:
python -m venv venv
. ./venv/bin/activate
Install the necessary packages:
python -m pip install .
To run the unit tests:
pytest
To run linter and automatically fix all errors:
black .
isort .
If any packages are missing, install them with:
pip install <PACKAGE_NAME>
For Windows users, there may be errors when installing packages, so these commands may be helpful:
Activate the virtual environment:
. .\venv\Scripts\activate
You may need to run the installs separately:
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:
pip install wheel
pip install cargo
conda install rust
pip install tantivy
To run the unit tests:
pytest
