Label*

Default Value: PostgreSQL Vector Search
Example: PostgreSQL VS

String

Specify a name for the Snap. You can modify this to be more specific, especially if you have more than one of the same Snaps in your pipeline.

Schema name

Default Value: N/A
Example: VECTOR_DEMO

String/Expression/Suggestion

Specify the schema name for searching for a vector.

Table Namename*

Default Value: N/A 
Example: VECTOR_DEMO.BOOKS

String/Expression/Suggestion

Specify the table name for searching for a vector.

Vector Columncolumn*

Default Value: N/A
Example: INT_VEC

String/Expression/Suggestion

Specify the vector column name to search.

Where Clauseclause

Default Value: N/A
Example: ID > '001i0000007FVjpAAG'

String/Expression/Suggestion

Specify the where clause to use in the vector search query statement.

Limit Rowsrows

Default Value: 4
Example: 3
Min Value: 1

Integer/Expression

Specify the number of rows the query must return.

Distance Functionfunction*

Default Value: L2
Example: COSINE

Dropdown List

Choose the similarity function to compare vectors. The available options are:

• L2: (Euclidean Distance) Measures the straight-line distance between two points. It’s useful when you want to calculate the as-the-crow-flies distance.

• L1: (Manhattan Distance) Measures the distance between two points on the axes at right angles. It’s useful in grid-based systems, such as, city streets.

• COSINE: Measures the cosine of the angle between two vectors. It's commonly used in high-dimensional positive spaces to assess similarity regardless of magnitude.

• Inner Product: (Dot Product) Measures the similarity between two vectors. It’s useful in various applications, such as calculating the angle between vectors or finding projections.

Include vector values

Default Value: Deselected

Checkbox/Expression

Select this checkbox to include vector values in the response.

Include scores

Default Value: Selected

Checkbox/Expression

Select this checkbox to include similarity scores in the response.

Ignore empty result

Default Value: Deselected

Checkbox

Select this checkbox to ignore the empty results and not write a document to the output view when a search operation returns no results..

Number of retries

Default Value: 0
Example: 3

Integer/Expression

Specify the maximum number of retry attempts the Snap must make if a network failure occurs.

Retry interval (seconds)

Default Value: 0
Example: 3

Integer/Expression

Specify the time period between two successive retry requests.

Snap execution

Default Value: Validate & Execute
Example: Execute only

Dropdown list

Select one of the following three modes in which the Snap executes:

• Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap and generates a data preview during pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during pipeline runtime.

• Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during pipeline execution without generating preview data.

• Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.
