Vector type

Use the vector type to store vectors, such as embeddings, which you can then use for vector searches.

When you define a vector column, you specify the vector dimensions.

To use a vector column:

Create a vector column. For examples, see Create a table with a column to store vector embeddings, or alter a table to add a vector column.

You can define multiple vector columns to store vectors with different dimensions or from different embedding models, but you can only run a vector search on one column at a time.
Index the vector column.
Store vector data in the column. For an example, see Insert a row with vector embeddings.
Use vector search on the column. For an example, see Use vector search with a search vector to find a row.
