`langchain_community.vectorstores.tidb_vector`.TiDBVectorStore¶

class langchain_community.vectorstores.tidb_vector.TiDBVectorStore(connection_string: str, embedding_function: Embeddings, table_name: str = 'langchain_vector', distance_strategy: str = 'cosine', *, engine_args: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, drop_existing_table: bool = False, **kwargs: Any)[source]¶

TiDB Vector Store.

Initialize a TiDB Vector Store in Langchain with a flexible and standardized table structure for storing vector data which remains fixed regardless of the dynamic table name setting.

The vector table schema includes: - ‘id’: a UUID for each entry. - ‘embedding’: stores vector data in a VectorType column. - ‘document’: a Text column for the original data or additional information. - ‘meta’: a JSON column for flexible metadata storage. - ‘create_time’ and ‘update_time’: timestamp columns for tracking data changes.

This table structure caters to general use cases and complex scenarios where the table serves as a semantic layer for advanced data integration and analysis, leveraging SQL for join queries.

Parameters

connection_string (str) – The connection string for the TiDB database, format: “mysql+pymysql://root@34.212.137.91:4000/test”.
embedding_function (Embeddings) – The embedding function used to generate embeddings.
table_name (str, optional) – The name of the table that will be used to store vector data. If you do not provide a table name, a default table named langchain_vector will be created automatically.
distance_strategy (str) – The strategy used for similarity search, defaults to “cosine”, valid values: “l2”, “cosine”, “inner_product”.
engine_args (Optional[Dict]) – Additional arguments for the database engine, defaults to None.
drop_existing_table (bool) – Drop the existing TiDB table before initializing, defaults to False.
**kwargs (Any) – Additional keyword arguments.
