Oracle AI Vector Search：向量存储

Oracle AI Vector Search 专为人工智能（AI）工作负载而设计，允许您基于语义而非关键字来查询数据。 Oracle AI Vector Search 的最大优势之一在于，可以将对非结构化数据的语义搜索与对业务数据的关系型搜索结合在同一个系统中。 这不仅功能强大，而且效果显著，因为您无需添加专门的向量数据库，从而消除了多系统间数据碎片化的烦恼。

此外，您的向量还可以受益于 Oracle Database 所有最强大的功能，例如：

• 分区支持
• Real Application Clusters 可扩展性
• Exadata 智能扫描
• 跨地域分布式数据库的分片处理
• 事务
• 并行 SQL
• 灾难恢复
• 安全性
• Oracle Machine Learning
• Oracle Graph 数据库
• Oracle Spatial and Graph
• Oracle Blockchain
• JSON

如果您刚开始接触 Oracle Database，可以考虑探索免费的 Oracle 23 AI，它能很好地帮助您入门数据库环境的设置。在使用数据库时，通常建议默认不要使用 system 用户；相反，您可以创建自己的用户以增强安全性和自定义性。有关用户创建的详细步骤，请参阅我们的端到端指南，其中还演示了如何在 Oracle 中设置用户。此外，了解用户权限对于有效管理数据库安全也至关重要。您可以在官方的Oracle 用户账户和安全管理指南中了解更多关于此主题的内容。

使用 Langchain 与 Oracle AI Vector Search 的先决条件

您需要安装 langchain-community ('pip install -qU langchain-community') 才能使用此集成。

请安装 Oracle Python Client 驱动以使用 Langchain 与 Oracle AI Vector Search。

# pip install oracledb

连接到 Oracle AI Vector Search

下面的示例代码将展示如何连接到 Oracle 数据库。默认情况下，python-oracledb 以“精简模式”运行，直接连接到 Oracle 数据库。此模式不需要 Oracle Client 库。但是，当 python-oracledb 使用这些库时，可以使用一些额外的功能。当使用 Oracle Client 库时，python-oracledb 被称为处于“完整模式”。两种模式都具有全面的功能，支持 Python Database API v2.0 规范。请参阅以下指南，其中介绍了每种模式支持的功能。如果无法使用精简模式，您可能需要切换到完整模式。

import oracledb

username = "username"
password = "password"
dsn = "ipaddress:port/orclpdb1"

try:
    connection = oracledb.connect(user=username, password=password, dsn=dsn)
    print("Connection successful!")
except Exception as e:
    print("Connection failed!")

使用 AI Vector Search 创建具有不同距离度量的向量存储

首先，我们将创建三个具有不同距离函数的向量存储。由于我们尚未在其中创建索引，因此目前它们只会创建表。稍后，我们将使用这些向量存储来创建 HNSW 索引。要了解更多关于 Oracle AI Vector Search 支持的各种索引类型，请参阅以下指南。

您可以手动连接到 Oracle 数据库，并将看到三个表： Documents_DOT, Documents_COSINE 和 Documents_EUCLIDEAN。

然后，我们将创建另外三个表 Documents_DOT_IVF, Documents_COSINE_IVF 和 Documents_EUCLIDEAN_IVF，它们将用于在表上创建 IVF 索引，而不是 HNSW 索引。

# Ingest documents into Oracle Vector Store using different distance strategies

# When using our API calls, start by initializing your vector store with a subset of your documents
# through from_documents(), then incrementally add more documents using add_texts().
# This approach prevents system overload and ensures efficient document processing.
