Q2:How to change Vector DB Type in DB-GPT.​

Update .env file and set VECTOR_STORE_TYPE.

DB-GPT currently support Chroma(Default), Milvus(>2.1), Weaviate, OceanBase vector database. If you want to change vector db, Update your .env, set your vector store type, VECTOR_STORE_TYPE=Chroma (now only support Chroma and Milvus(>2.1), if you set Milvus, please set MILVUS_URL and MILVUS_PORT).

If you want to use OceanBase, please first start a docker container via the following command:

docker run --name=ob433 -e MODE=slim -p 2881:2881 -d quay.io/oceanbase/oceanbase-ce:4.3.3.0-100000142024101215

Donwload the partner package:

pip install --upgrade --quiet pyobvector

Check the connection to OceanBase and set the memory usage ratio for vector data:

from pyobvector import ObVecClient

tmp_client = ObVecClient()
tmp_client.perform_raw_text_sql(
    "ALTER SYSTEM ob_vector_memory_limit_percentage = 30"
)

Then set the following variables in the .env file:

VECTOR_STORE_TYPE=OceanBase
OB_HOST=127.0.0.1
OB_PORT=2881
OB_USER=root@test
OB_DATABASE=test
## Optional
# OB_PASSWORD=
## Optional: If {OB_ENABLE_NORMALIZE_VECTOR} is set, the vector stored in OceanBase is normalized.
# OB_ENABLE_NORMALIZE_VECTOR=True

If you want to support more vector db, you can integrate yourself.how to integrate
