Schema definition in SurrealDB is a powerful thing, and the more you know the more you can make your schema work for you.

import VideoPlayer from ‘@src/components/shared/VideoPlayer.astro’; While many products refer to themselves as AI databases or vector databases, we tend to use the term “AI-native” for SurrealDB. That’s because SurrealDB at its core is a multi-model general purpose database that just happens to have been built from the ground up with features purpose fit for generative AI such as vector similarity and indexing, graph and record links, and use as an embedded data store. It’s no exaggeration to say that AI has taken the world by storm. This is one that we have welcomed as it has been the perfect opportunity to showcase how SurrealDB’s features let you build apps using generative AI without needing anything but a running SurrealDB database and nothing extra to download or bolt on to make it happen. As such, many of our recent blog posts have showcased SurrealDB’s uses in AI applications, such as the official [SurrealDB LangChain integration](https://surrealdb.com/blog/announcing-our-official-langchain-integration), [semantic search wih SurrealDB and OpenAI](https://surrealdb.com/blog/semantic-search-with-surrealdb-and-openai) (and [another one](https://surrealdb.com/blog/semantic-search-in-rust-with-surrealdb-and-mistral-ai) using Mistral), and [building a smart knowledge agent with SurrealDB and Rig.rs](https://surrealdb.com/blog/rag-can-be-rigged). This post goes a good ways beyond a minimal example to show just how easy it is to get all this and more. Since SurrealDB is a multi-model database that just happens to be AI-native, AI solutions can be combined or used alongside all of SurrealDB’s features such as full-text search, recursive queries, and embedding as an in-memory database. To demonstrate this, we will create a demo UI using Rust and the [Iced crate](https://iced.rs/) which is one of the nicest ways to build a UI in Rust ([egui](https://github.com/emilk/egui) is another one, which I tend to use more frequently but Iced has a bit more of a webpage feel which is nice). This UI will have a few buttons to let you do a few things. The first button lets you insert documents into the database that are taken from Wikipedia’s summary API. You can see an example of the output [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/summary/calgary), from which we will use the `title` and `extract` fields: ```json { "title": "Calgary", "extract": "Calgary is a major city in the Canadian province of Alberta. As of 2021, the city proper had a population of 1,306,784 and a metropolitan population of 1,481,806 making it the third-largest city and fifth-largest metropolitan area in Canada." } ``` The other buttons on the UI will do the following: * Manually link two documents together via their titles. * Look through the `extract` for capitalized words, check if there is an article with a matching title and link the articles together if that is the case. In the example above, it would link `Calgary` to `Alberta` and `Canada` if the database had all three of these documents. * Add OpenAI embeddings. * Add Mistral embeddings. * Perform OpenAI similarity search for a document. * Perform Mistral similarity search for a document. * Perform full-text search on the documents in the database. * See all the links for a document by performing a recursive query to a depth of 3. * See all document titles. * Run raw queries (since an embedded database won’t have an endpoint for you to connect via Surrealist or the CLI). I must admit to having had a bit too much fun putting this together, and it was difficult to tell myself to stop building and refactoring the app and get around to writing about it. This is probably a blessing in disguise, as it leaves it with the potential for other features that you might want to pick up yourself to further develop the app as you see fit. Here is what the end product will look like once it is run: SurrealQL statements when setting up ------------------------------------ The SurrealQL code begins with some statements to set up the namespace and database, along with the fields for the `document` table. Documents are first added by calling into Wikipedia and taking the text at the `extract` and `title` fields. The arrays for embeddings will be empty by default so that you can experiment with adding and querying articles without needing to call in to OpenAI or Mistral for embeddings. ```surql DEFINE NAMESPACE ns; DEFINE DATABASE db; USE NS ns; USE DB db; DEFINE FIELD extract ON document TYPE string; DEFINE FIELD title ON document TYPE string; DEFINE FIELD mistral_embedding ON document TYPE option> DEFAULT []; DEFINE FIELD openai_embedding ON document TYPE option> DEFAULT []; ``` After that we have some statements to set up full-text search. The `en_analyzer` search analyzer will break up any input string by class (i.e. the input `"Hi!123"` would become `['Hi', '!', '123']`), then change each token to lowercase, and then build an edgengram over everything from 3 to 10 characters in length. ```surql DEFINE ANALYZER en_analyzer TOKENIZERS class FILTERS lowercase,edgengram(4,10); ``` The name `en_analyzer` is a hint that you could expand the app into other languages if you wanted. For example, you could set up another analyzer that works with French through this sort of analyzer definition. ```surql DEFINE ANALYZER fr_analyzer TOKENIZERS class FILTERS lowercase,snowball(french); ``` A search analyzer is easy to test out by using the `search::analyze()` function. Let’s give it a try! ```surql DEFINE ANALYZER en_analyzer TOKENIZERS class FILTERS lowercase,edgengram(3,10); search::analyze("en_analyzer", "I run really fast"); -- Output: [ 'run', 'rea', 'real', 'reall', 'really', 'fas', 'fast' ] ``` An edgengram works best when an app is watching user keypresses in real time. This is one of the features that was not yet added to the app, but you can continue the feature [here](https://docs.rs/iced/latest/iced/keyboard/index.html) if you like. Once a search analyzer has been made, it wil need an index to use the `@@` operator (the [MATCHES](https://surrealdb.com/docs/surrealql/operators#matches) operator). These include `BM25` which will allow us to see not just matches, but the score so that results can be sorted by best match. (Fun fact: I originally assumed that the BM in BM25 was a fancy algorithm name like “Biedermann-Mendelstein” but it just stands for “Best Match”) The statement also has a `HIGHLIGHTS` clause which lets us highlight any matching text to make it easy to find when looking at the results of a full-text search. ```surql DEFINE INDEX en_extract ON document FIELDS extract SEARCH ANALYZER en_analyzer BM25 HIGHLIGHTS; DEFINE INDEX en_title ON document FIELDS title SEARCH ANALYZER en_analyzer BM25 HIGHLIGHTS; ``` Finally, we have two statements that relate to the linking of documents. The first is a table definition that sets a relation (that we will just call `link` for lack of imagination) that must be `ENFORCED`. This clause will make sure that a `RELATE` statement fails if the two documents to be related don’t exist yet. ```surql DEFINE TABLE link TYPE RELATION IN document OUT document ENFORCED; ``` (By the way, being able to relate documents that don’t exist yet is a feature that is nice to have. This flexibility allows for patterns such as using graph queries as assertions, as [this example shows](https://surrealdb.com/blog/ten-tips-and-tricks-for-your-database-schema#10-use-graph-queries-in-the-schema)) Our app will mindlessly try to `RELATE` one document to another if it finds a matching word in the summary, so we will add a `UNIQUE` index to ensure that no two documents can be related to one another more than once. This is the easiest way to let the schema do the thinking for us. ```surql DEFINE INDEX only_one_link ON link FIELDS in,out UNIQUE; ``` Following these `DEFINE` statements are a number of queries used throughout the app to accomplish the behaviour returned from the various buttons on the app. SurrealQL statements used when running the app ---------------------------------------------- After these first definitions come a number of other SurrealQL statements used during the running of the app. Here they are in the same order that the buttons were introduced above. ### Adding new documents This one is pretty simple. Note the `ONLY` keyword which will return a single record instead of an array of records. ```surql CREATE ONLY $doc SET title = $title, extract = $extract; ``` ### Manually linking documents The logic here is also straightforward since we are going to create `document` records that have an ID made up of the article name. For example, `document:Germany` or `document:Solar_System`. Since record IDs must be unique, no article with the same name can be created twice. This is a good pattern to use if you know ahead of time what a record ID is going to be, as `SELECT * FROM document:Germany` (or even just `document:Germany.*`) will always be faster than `SELECT * FROM document WHERE title = "Germany"`. After that, a quick `RELATE` statement is all that is needed. Here is the part of the SDK code that contains the statement. ```surql let one = RecordId::from_table_key("document", one); let two = RecordId::from_table_key("document", two); match self .db .query("RELATE $one->link->$two;") .bind(("one", one)) .bind(("two", two)) // Then handle the result... ``` ### Automatically linking documents This is the part in which we can click a single button to look through an article’s extract for capitalized words, and see if there are any matching articles. This part of the query does nothing but grab each article. ```rust let mut response = match self.db.query("SELECT * FROM document").await { Ok(response) => response, Err(e) => return e.to_string(), }; ``` Later on you might want to add another button that only looks at documents without an outbound link via the `WHERE !->link->document` clause. ```surql SELECT * FROM document WHERE !->link->document ``` But we don’t want to use this as default behaviour because that would mean that `document:Earth` linked to `document:Moon` wouldn’t be linked to a document called `document:Sun` that we add later, even if the text in the Earth article included a mention of the Sun. ### Adding embeddings These embeddings are created by calling into either OpenAI or Mistral. This requires a key for both. If the key does not exist then the client will receive “NONE” as its key and an error will be returned that is turned into a `String` so that the program does not panic. Most of the rest of the Rust code will return `Result` by mapping all possible errors to a `String` and returning that, so that the program can display any errors instead of shutting down if they happen. ```rust static OPENAI_API_KEY: LazyLock = LazyLock::new(|| std::env::var("OPENAI_API_KEY").unwrap_or("NONE".to_string())); static MISTRAL_API_KEY: LazyLock = LazyLock::new(|| std::env::var("MISTRAL_API_KEY").unwrap_or("NONE".to_string())); ``` When a user clicks on the button to add embeddings, the database will use one of these two queries to find any documents that don’t have embeddings yet. ```surql SELECT title, extract FROM document WHERE !openai_embedding; SELECT title, extract FROM document WHERE !mistral_embedding; ``` These can be turned into a Rust struct that holds a `title` and `extract`. Serde’s `Deserialize` trait will do the job. ```rust #[derive(Deserialize, Debug, Clone)] struct PageContent { title: String, extract: String, } ``` Then the OpenAI or Mistral client will call in using the key provided to return a `Vec`, which we can add to the document in question with an `UPDATE` statement. ```surql UPDATE type::thing('document', $title) SET openai_embedding = $embeds; ``` ### Querying embeddings OpenAI and Mistral embeddings: these are done via the following two queries. A query is first made to the database to get the record for an article’s name. Since we know what an article’s record ID must be, we can construct it using the [`type::thing()`](https://surrealdb.com/docs/surrealql/functions/database/type#typething) function which directly creates a record pointer. The `field_name` part in this case is the name of the field with the embeddings, either `openai_embedding` or `mistral_embedding`. ```surql db.query(format!("type::thing('document', '{doc}').{field_name};")) ``` This will return a large vector of floats which we will give the name `embeds` to. It can then be passed into this function that goes through each of the `document` records, finds the four closest neighbours, and sorts them by distance. ```surql (SELECT (extract.slice(0, 50) + '...') AS extract, title, vector::distance::knn() AS distance FROM document WHERE {field_name} <|4,COSINE|> $embeds ORDER BY distance).filter(|$t| $t.distance > 0.0001); ``` Some notes on this query: * The `extract.slice` part is used to only show the first 50 characters of an extract. This can be changed to `extract` to show the entire field. * The `vector::distance::knn()` function returns the nearest neighbours, based on the following `WHERE` clause. Here, `<|4,COSINE|>` will use the cosine distance to return the closest four results, while the vector function will allow us to see the distance so that we can sort by closest match. For more details on how vector searching works, see [the reference guide](https://surrealdb.com/docs/surrealdb/models/vector). * `.filter` at the end is used to filter out any results that have a distance effectively equal to zero. This will filter out the article itself, because we don’t want to see the article for `document:Sun` as the closest neighbour to the same `document:Sun`. ### Using full-text search The full-text search query is one of the most interesting ones used in this app. Its basic structure is `SELECT FROM document WHERE title @0@ $input OR extract @1@ $input`. While the default matches operator is `@@`, a number needs to be passed in if we want to use any of the search functions like `search::highlight` or `search::score`, so that it knows which match to calculate from. ```surql SELECT search::highlight('**', '**', 0) AS title, search::highlight('**', '**', 1) AS extract, (search::score(0) * 3) + search::score(1) AS score FROM document WHERE title @0@ $input OR extract @1@ $input ORDER BY score DESC; ``` For example, to calculate the score we can make a match on `title` more relevant than a match inside `extract` by multiplying the score by a certain amount (3 should be fine). So when the database sees `(search::score(0) * 3) + search::score(1) AS score`, it will know that `search::score(0)` means the score of the match on `title` because `WHERE title @0@ $input` has a 0 in the matches operator. We can test this out by entering a few articles on Greek gods: ``` Zeus,Hera,Poseidon,Hades,Athena,Apollo,Artemis,Ares,Aphrodite,Hephaestus,Hermes,Hestia,Dionysus,Demeter,Persephone ``` A search for “Zeus” will then turn up the article on Zeus first with a score of 12.7, followed by Hephaestus way back in second place with a score of just 1.5 because of a few mentions of Zeus in his article’s summary. ### Recursive link querying This recursive query is surprisingly simple thanks to the magic of recursive graph queries. It is composed of the record ID, `.{..3}` to tell the database to go down to a depth of 3, and then an output structure that looks like `.{ id, next: ->link->document.@ }`. The final `.@` lets the database know that this is the path to keep following recursively, while other fields like `id` come along for the ride. ```surql type::thing('document', '{doc}').{..3}.{ id, next: ->link->document.@ } ``` If we select the “Link unlinked docs” button and then type “Hades” and click on “See linked articles”, we should see that Hades is connected to Poseidon, who is connected to Persephone, who herself is connected to both Demeter, Hades, and Zeus, and so on. This is thanks to the mention of all these gods in her summary: “…is the daugher of Zeus and Demeter. She became the queen of the underworld after her abduction by her uncle Hades…” ### Viewing all document titles This query is as simple as a query gets: just the `title` fields, sorted. ```surql (SELECT VALUE title FROM document).sort() ``` Final code ---------- Want to give the code a try?
