Python SDK Reference

MilvusClient provides a simple and easy-to-use alternative to the legacy ORM approach. It adopts a purely functional approach to simplify interactions with the server. Each MilvusClient establishes a gRPC connection to the server you specified. To set up multiple connections, you can create multiple MilvusClient instances.
