AddToVectorDatabase

AddToVectorDatabase[db,{vec1,…}]

adds a list of vectors veci to the VectorDatabaseObject[…] db.

AddToVectorDatabase[db,{vec1,…}{val1,…}]

adds new vector veci and associated value vali to the database db.

Details

  • AddToVectorDatabase extends an existing VectorDatabaseObject with additional data, expanding the database’s storage and search capabilities.
  • The database can be specified using:
  • "string"a string matching a named vector database
    dba VectorDatabaseObject
  • Possible values for the data to be added include:
  • {vec1,…}a list of vectors
    {vec1val1,…}a list of vectors and associated values
    {vec1,…}{val1,…}a rule between vectors and values
  • If db contains annotated vectors, each new veci should be tagged the same way. »
  • Accepted forms of vali include:
  • "string"string labels
    <|"tag1"v1,…|>an association of tags and metadata values

Add a new vector to the existing database:

Add multiple vectors to the existing database:

Metadata  (4)

Add vectors together with simple labels to an empty database:

Create a database with vectors annotated with single labels:

Applications  (1)

A single incorrect element will cause the database creation to fail:

To add all elements that are valid, create a empty database:

Use AddToVectorDatabase to incrementally add only the valid elements:

The three valid elements have been added to the database:

Properties & Relations  (1)

Create a named vector database:

Update the database via its name:

The database will be updated in all places it is referenced:

Possible Issues  (2)

Create a vector database:

Additional vectors must be of the same dimensions as the input:

Create a vector database with labeled vectors:

New elements must follow the same format:

Add an annotation in order to add the vector:
