This topic describes how to create a vector table. The used syntax is fully compatible with SQL:1999 and partially compatible with SQL:2003.
Prerequisites
Vector search engine optimization is enabled. For more information, see Enable or disable vector search engine optimization.
Syntax
The syntax for creating a vector table is the same as the syntax for creating a heap table in AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL. The vector column (VECTORTYPE) in the table is represented by an array and supports the following types: SMALLINT[]
, FLOAT2[]
, and REAL(FLOAT4)[]
. A table supports multiple vector columns.
CREATE TABLE [TABLE_NAME]
(
C1 DATATYPE,
C2 DATATYPE,
......,
CN VECTORTYPE,
PRIMARY KEY (one or more columns)
) DISTRIBUTED BY (C1);
Examples
Create a heap table named FACE_TABLE
. C1
is the primary key column, and C2
is the vector column.
CREATE TABLE FACE_TABLE (
C1 INT,
C2 REAL[] NOT NULL,
C3 TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
C4 VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (C1)
) DISTRIBUTED BY (C1);
