Adds a user-facing realtime engine (RTE) page at `docs/web/tables/realtime-engine.mdx`, listed under **Management** after Branches. It is adapted from the internal WAL field guide (lancedb/sophon#6213), with the deployment and operations material left out. The page covers: - what RTE is and how it works (memtable → SSTables → compaction; reads merge the base table with the fresh tier) - getting started: `set_unenforced_primary_key`, indexes, `enable_rte` / `ALTER TABLE ... SET RTE`, `merge_insert` upserts and queries, partial updates, deletes, and `checkpoint_rte` / `disable_rte` - performance: write throughput and shard scaling, and read latency with and without RTE - a note on operations not yet supported (time travel, branching, `count_rows`, row IDs, `TABLESAMPLE`) Also aligns related docs with current RTE naming and behavior: - `sql/ddl/table.mdx`: `SET MEMWAL` / `UNSET MEMWAL` → `SET RTE` / `UNSET RTE` - `maintenance/background-jobs.mdx`: job names are `memwal_compaction` and `memwal_catchup_<type>` - `feature-engineering/materialized-views.mdx`: MemWAL → realtime engine - Python `AsyncTable.enable_rte` / `RTEWriteSpec.with_maintained_indexes` docstrings: by default, indexes created after enabling RTE are maintained too The examples are written directly in the page rather than generated from `docs/web-tests`, because RTE needs an Enterprise server to run. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: XY Zhan <zhaner08@hotmail.com>

The ultimate multimodal data platform for AI/ML applications.
LanceDB is designed for fast, scalable, and production-ready vector search. It is built on top of the Lance columnar format. You can store, index, and search over petabytes of multimodal data and vectors with ease. LanceDB is a central location where developers can build, train and analyze their AI workloads.
