Database
Public Preview

A database in on-demand compute is managed by the platform and does not require you to provision or maintain a cluster for it. You specify on-demand compute to perform query search on data in this type of database. For details, see Database Explained.

This guide explains how to manage a database in on-demand compute.

📘Note

This feature is only available to Enterprise projects.

Limitations​

  • To manage databases in on-demand compute, you need to be a Project Admin.

  • You can create up to 100 on-demand compute databases in each project.

  • All collections (managed or external) in an on-demand database do not support dropping indexes.

Create database​

This type of database is project-level resource shared by all on-demand clusters in the project.

  • Via RESTful API

    --url "${PROJECT_ENDPOINT}/v2/vectordb/databases/create" \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
        "dbName": "my_database"
    }'
