#### Type declaration

Insert records into this Table.
##### Parameters

#### Type declaration
▸ (): `Promise`\<`number`\>
Returns the number of rows in this table.
##### Returns

___
### createScalarIndex
**createScalarIndex**: (`column`: `string`, `replace`: `boolean`) => `Promise`\<`void`\>
#### Type declaration
▸ (`column`, `replace`): `Promise`\<`void`\>
Create a scalar index on this Table for the given column
##### Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
| :------ | :------ | :------ |
| `column` | `string` | The column to index |
| `replace` | `boolean` | If false, fail if an index already exists on the 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: ```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`. |
##### Returns
`Promise`\<`void`\>
**`Examples`**
```ts
const con = await lancedb.connect('././lancedb')
const table = await con.openTable('images')
await table.createScalarIndex('my_col')
```

### delete
• **delete**: (`filter`: `string`) => `Promise`\<`void`\>
#### Type declaration
▸ (`filter`): `Promise`\<`void`\>
Delete rows from this table.
This can be used to delete a single row, many rows, all rows, or
sometimes no rows (if your predicate matches nothing).
##### Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
| :------ | :------ | :------ |
| `filter` | `string` | A filter in the same format used by a sql WHERE clause. The filter must not be empty. |
##### Returns
`Promise`\<`void`\>
**`Examples`**
```ts
const con = await lancedb.connect("./.lancedb")
const data = [
{id: 1, vector: [1, 2]},
{id: 2, vector: [3, 4]},
{id: 3, vector: [5, 6]},
];
const tbl = await con.createTable("my_table", data)
await tbl.delete("id = 2")
await tbl.countRows() // Returns 2
```
If you have a list of values to delete, you can combine them into a
stringified list and use the `IN` operator:
```ts
const to_remove = [1, 5];
await tbl.delete(`id IN (${to_remove.join(",")})`)
await tbl.countRows() // Returns 1
```
