SQLServer

Azure SQL provides a dedicated Vector data type that simplifies the creation, storage, and querying of vector embeddings directly within a relational database. This eliminates the need for separate vector databases and related integrations, increasing the security of your solutions while reducing the overall complexity.

Azure SQL is a robust service that combines scalability, security, and high availability, providing all the benefits of a modern database solution. It leverages a sophisticated query optimizer and enterprise features to perform vector similarity searches alongside traditional SQL queries, enhancing data analysis and decision-making.

Read more on using Intelligent applications with Azure SQL Database

This notebook shows you how to leverage this integrated SQL vector database to store documents and perform vector search queries using Cosine (cosine distance), L2 (Euclidean distance), and IP (inner product) to locate documents close to the query vectors

Setup​

Install the langchain-sqlserver python package.

The code lives in an integration package called:langchain-sqlserver.

!pip install langchain-sqlserver==0.1.1

Credentials​

There are no credentials needed to run this notebook, just make sure you downloaded the langchain_sqlserver package If you want to get best in-class automated tracing of your model calls you can also set your LangSmith API key by uncommenting below:

# os.environ["LANGSMITH_API_KEY"] = getpass.getpass("Enter your LangSmith API key: ")
# os.environ["LANGSMITH_TRACING"] = "true"

Initialization​

from langchain_sqlserver import SQLServer_VectorStore

Find your Azure SQL DB connection string in the Azure portal under your database settings

For more info: Connect to Azure SQL DB - Python

import os

import pyodbc

# Define your SQLServer Connection String
_CONNECTION_STRING = (
"Driver={ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server};"
"Server=<YOUR_DBSERVER>.database.windows.net,1433;"
"Database=test;"
"TrustServerCertificate=yes;"
"Connection Timeout=60;"
"LongAsMax=yes;"
)

# Connection string can vary:
# "mssql+pyodbc://<username>:<password><servername>/<dbname>?driver=ODBC+Driver+18+for+SQL+Server" -> With Username and Password specified
# "mssql+pyodbc://<servername>/<dbname>?driver=ODBC+Driver+18+for+SQL+Server&Trusted_connection=yes" -> Uses Trusted connection
# "mssql+pyodbc://<servername>/<dbname>?driver=ODBC+Driver+18+for+SQL+Server" -> Uses EntraID connection
# "mssql+pyodbc://<servername>/<dbname>?driver=ODBC+Driver+18+for+SQL+Server&Trusted_connection=no" -> Uses EntraID connection

In this example we use Azure OpenAI to generate embeddings , however you can use different embeddings provided in LangChain.

You can deploy a version of Azure OpenAI instance on Azure Portal following this guide. Once you have your instance running, make sure you have the name of your instance and key. You can find the key in the Azure Portal, under the "Keys and Endpoint" section of your instance.

!pip install langchain-openai
# Import the necessary Libraries
from langchain_openai import AzureChatOpenAI, AzureOpenAIEmbeddings

# Set your AzureOpenAI details
azure_endpoint = "https://<YOUR_ENDPOINT>.openai.azure.com/"
azure_deployment_name_embedding = "text-embedding-3-small"
azure_deployment_name_chatcompletion = "chatcompletion"
azure_api_version = "2023-05-15"
azure_api_key = "YOUR_KEY"


# Use AzureChatOpenAI for chat completions
llm = AzureChatOpenAI(
azure_endpoint=azure_endpoint,
azure_deployment=azure_deployment_name_chatcompletion,
openai_api_version=azure_api_version,
openai_api_key=azure_api_key,
)

# Use AzureOpenAIEmbeddings for embeddings
embeddings = AzureOpenAIEmbeddings(
azure_endpoint=azure_endpoint,
azure_deployment=azure_deployment_name_embedding,
openai_api_version=azure_api_version,
openai_api_key=azure_api_key,
)

Query vector store​

Once your vector store has been created and the relevant documents have been added you will most likely wish to query it during the running of your chain or agent.

Performing a simple similarity search can be done as follows:

# Perform a similarity search between the embedding of the query and the embeddings of the documents
simsearch_result = vector_store.similarity_search("Good reviews", k=3)
print(simsearch_result)
[Document(metadata={'id': 1, 'summary': 'Good Quality Dog Food'}, page_content='I have bought several of the Vitality canned dog food products and have found them all to be of good quality. The product looks more like a stew than a processed meat and it smells better. My Labrador is finicky and she appreciates this product better than  most.'), Document(metadata={'id': 7, 'summary': 'This stuff is great'}, page_content='I have used this product in smoothies for my son and he loves it. Additionally, I use this oil in the shower as a skin conditioner and it has made my skin look great. Some of the stretch marks on my belly has disappeared quickly. Highly recommend!!!'), Document(metadata={'id': 5, 'summary': 'Great for the kids!'}, page_content="If you are looking for a less messy version of licorice for the children, then be sure to try these!  They're soft, easy to chew, and they don't get your hands all sticky and gross in the car, in the summer, at the beach, etc. We love all the flavos and sometimes mix these in with the chocolate to have a very nice snack! Great item, great price too, highly recommend!")]

Filtering Support:​

The vectorstore supports a set of filters that can be applied against the metadata fields of the documents.This feature enables developers and data analysts to refine their queries, ensuring that the search results are accurately aligned with their needs. By applying filters based on specific metadata attributes, users can limit the scope of their searches, concentrating only on the most relevant data subsets.

# hybrid search -> filter for cases where id not equal to 1.
hybrid_simsearch_result = vector_store.similarity_search(
"Good reviews", k=3, filter={"id": {"$ne": 1}}
)
print(hybrid_simsearch_result)
[Document(metadata={'id': 7, 'summary': 'This stuff is great'}, page_content='I have used this product in smoothies for my son and he loves it. Additionally, I use this oil in the shower as a skin conditioner and it has made my skin look great. Some of the stretch marks on my belly has disappeared quickly. Highly recommend!!!'), Document(metadata={'id': 5, 'summary': 'Great for the kids!'}, page_content="If you are looking for a less messy version of licorice for the children, then be sure to try these!

If you want to execute a similarity search and receive the corresponding scores you can run:

simsearch_with_score_result = vector_store.similarity_search_with_score(
"Not a very good product", k=12
)
print(simsearch_with_score_result)

The Dursleys had everything they wanted, but they also had a secret, and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it. They didn’t think they could bear it if anyone found out about the Potters. Mrs. Potter was Mrs. Dursley’s sister, but they hadn’t met for several years; in fact, Mrs. Dursley pretended she didn’t have a sister, because her sister and her good-for-nothing husband were as unDursleyish as it was possible to be. The Dursleys shuddered to think what the neighbors would say if the Potters arrived in the street. The Dursleys knew that the Potters had a small son, too, but they had never even seen him. This boy was another good reason for keeping the Potters away; they didn’t want Dudley mixing with a child like that.

The Dursleys’ house had four bedrooms: one for Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia, one for visitors (usually Uncle Vernon’s sister, Marge), one where Dudley slept, and one where Dudley kept all the toys and things that wouldn’t fit into his first bedroom. It only took Harry one trip upstairs to move everything he owned from the cupboard to this room. He sat down on the bed and stared around him. Nearly everything in here was broken. The month-old video camera was lying on top of a small, working tank Dudley had once driven over the next door neighbor’s dog; in the corner was Dudley’s first-ever television set, which he’d put his foot through when his favorite program had been canceled; there was a large birdcage, which had once held a parrot that Dudley had swapped at school for a real air rifle, which was up on a shelf with the end all bent because Dudley had sat on it. Other shelves were full of books. They were the only things in the room that looked as though they’d never been touched.

M r. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you’d expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn’t hold with such nonsense.

Mr. Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made drills. He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a very large mustache. Mrs. Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences, spying on the neighbors. The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere.

Hagrid was watching him sadly.

“Took yeh from the ruined house myself, on Dumbledore’s orders. Brought yeh ter this lot….”

“Load of old tosh,” said Uncle Vernon. Harry jumped; he had almost forgotten that the Dursleys were there. Uncle Vernon certainly seemed to have got back his courage. He was glaring at Hagrid and his fists were clenched.

“Now, you listen here, boy,” he snarled, “I accept there’s something strange about you, probably nothing a good beating wouldn’t have cured — and as for all this about your parents, well, they were weirdoes, no denying it, and the world’s better off without them in my opinion — asked for all they got, getting mixed up with these wizarding types — just what I expected, always knew they’d come to a sticky end —”

But at that moment, Hagrid leapt from the sofa and drew a battered pink umbrella from inside his coat. Pointing this at Uncle Vernon like a sword, he said, “I’m warning you, Dursley — I’m warning you — one more word….”

Usage for retrieval-augmented generation​

Use Case 1: Q&A System based on the Story Book​

The Q&A function allows users to ask specific questions about the story, characters, and events, and get concise, context-rich answers. This not only enhances their understanding of the books but also makes them feel like they're part of the magical universe.

Query by turning into retriever​

The LangChain Vector store simplifies building sophisticated Q&A systems by enabling efficient similarity searches to find the top 10 relevant documents based on the user's query. The retriever is created from the vector_store, and the question-answer chain is built using the create_stuff_documents_chain function. A prompt template is crafted using the ChatPromptTemplate class, ensuring structured and context-rich responses. Often in Q&A applications it's important to show users the sources that were used to generate the answer. LangChain's built-in create_retrieval_chain will propagate retrieved source documents to the output under the "context" key:
