**VectorXLite** — A fast, lightweight vector search with payload support and SQL-based filtering.

Crate : https://crates.io/crates/vector_xlite

This demonstrates how to use the `vector_xlite` crate to:

- Create a collection with vector embeddings and optional payload data.  
- Insert and manage vectors along with associated metadata.  
- Perform fast vector similarity search (e.g., **Cosine**, **Dot**, or **L2** distance).  
- Filter and query payloads using standard **SQL** alongside vector search.

---

## 🧱 Step-by-Step Breakdown

### 1. Initialize Sqlite Connection Pool

*** Don't forget add this `.connection_customizer(SqliteConnectionCustomizer::new())`

```rust
// Create an r2d2 Sqlite connection manager in memory
let manager = SqliteConnectionManager::memory();

// Build a pool and attach a connection customizer that ensures
// the native extension (and other per-connection setup) run
let pool = Pool::builder()
    .max_size(15)
    .connection_customizer(SqliteConnectionCustomizer::new()) 
    .build(manager)
    .unwrap();

// Construct the VectorXLite API object from the pool
let vlite = VectorXLite::new(pool.clone()).unwrap();
```

### 2. Create the Collection

```rust
let config = CollectionConfigBuilder::default()
    .collection_name("person")
    .distance(DistanceFunction::Cosine)
    .vector_dimension(4)
    .payload_table_schema("create table person (rowid integer primary key, name text)")
    .build()
    .unwrap();

vlite.create_collection(config).unwrap();
```

This defines:

- collection_name — logical name for your vector data
- distance — similarity metric (Cosine, L2, or Dot)
- vector_dimension — length of the embedding vector
- payload_table_schema — SQL used to store associated metadata

### 2. Insert Vector Points

Each vector point includes an id, vector embedding, and an SQL payload insertion query.

```
let point = InsertPoint::builder()
    .collection_name("person")
    .id(1)
    .vector(vec![1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0])
    .payload_insert_query("insert into person(rowid, name) values (?1, 'Alice')")
    .build()
    .unwrap();

vlite.insert(point).unwrap();
```

Use ?1 as a placeholder to bind the vector ID in your SQL statement.

### 3. Search for Similar Vectors

Perform a similarity search with a given vector and get top matches:

```rust
let search_point = SearchPoint::builder()
    .collection_name("person")
    .vector(vec![7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 2.0])
    .top_k(10)
    .payload_search_query("select * from person")
    .build()
    .unwrap();

let results = vlite.search(search_point).unwrap();
```

This fetches the top-K most similar vectors from the collection, along with their payloads.


## 🚀 Console Example — `vector_xlite`

A minimal Rust example showing how to use the `vector_xlite` crate via the included `example` binary.

The example opens an **in-memory SQLite** connection, registers the VectorXLite extension, creates a collection, inserts several vector points with payloads, and performs a vector search.

## 🧩 Prerequisites

- **Rust** (latest stable)
- **SQLite** (with extension loading enabled)

## ▶️ Running the Example

From the repository root:

```bash
cd example
cargo run
```

Or run the specific package directly:
``` bash
cargo run -p example
```

## 📘 Full Example

This example corresponds to the contents of src/main.rs inside the example crate:

```rust
use vector_xlite::{
    types::{SearchPoint, CollectionConfigBuilder, InsertPoint, DistanceFunction},
    VectorXLite,
    customizer::SqliteConnectionCustomizer
};
use r2d2::Pool;
use r2d2_sqlite::SqliteConnectionManager;


fn main() {
    // Step 1: Open SQLite in memory
    let manager = SqliteConnectionManager::memory();

    let pool = Pool::builder()
        .max_size(15)
        .connection_customizer(SqliteConnectionCustomizer::new())
        .build(manager)
        .unwrap();

    let vlite = VectorXLite::new(pool.clone()).unwrap();

    // Step 3: Configure and create a collection
    let config = CollectionConfigBuilder::default()
        .collection_name("person")
        .distance(DistanceFunction::Cosine)
        .vector_dimension(4)
        .payload_table_schema("create table person (rowid integer primary key, name text)")
        .build()
        .unwrap();

    match vlite.create_collection(config) {
        Ok(_) => {

## 🛠 Troubleshooting

### Persistent storage
Replace Connection::open_in_memory() with a file-backed connection:

```
let conn = Connection::open("vectors.db")?;
```
