## What's broken
`Table.update(values={...})` raises `NotImplementedError: SQL conversion
is not implemented for this type` when a value is a numpy scalar such as
`np.int64`, `np.int32`, `np.float32`, or `np.bool_`. These arise
naturally from indexing an ndarray or a pandas int/bool column.
`np.float64` happens to work (it subclasses `float`), which makes the
failure inconsistent and surprising.
```python
df = pd.DataFrame({"id": np.array([10, 20], dtype="int32")})
t.update(where="id = 1", values={"id": df["id"].iloc[0]}) # np.int32
# -> NotImplementedError: SQL conversion is not implemented for this type
```
## Why it happens
`value_to_sql` is a `singledispatch` with handlers only for native
Python types and `np.ndarray`; numpy `integer`/`floating`/`bool_`
scalars aren't Python subclasses, so they fall through to the
`NotImplementedError` base.
## Fix
Register handlers for `np.bool_`, `np.integer`, and `np.floating` that
delegate to the existing native handlers.
## Test
`value_to_sql` on `np.int32/int64/float32/float64/bool_` all convert;
`np.int32` raised before.

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)
