The Ultimate Guide to High Availability with MariaDB

VEC_DISTANCE

MariaDB starting with 11.6

VEC_DISTANCE was introduced in MariaDB 11.8.

Syntax

VEC_DISTANCE(v, s)

Description

VEC_Distance_Euclidean is a generic function that will behave either as VEC_DISTANCE_EUCLIDEAN, calculating the Euclidean (L2) distance between two points. or VEC_DISTANCE_COSINE, calculating the Cosine distance between two vectors, depending on the underlying index type.

Example

INSERT INTO v VALUES 
     (1, x'e360d63ebe554f3fcdbc523f4522193f5236083d'),
     (2, x'f511303f72224a3fdd05fe3eb22a133ffae86a3f'),
