In this section, you’ll learn basic operations in Python, TypeScript, and Rust SDKs. The code examples are the same, regardless of whether you use LanceDB OSS or LanceDB Cloud/Enterprise. For the LanceDB Cloud/Enterprise API Reference, check the REST API Specification.

Preview Releases

Stable releases are created about every 2 weeks. For the latest features and bug fixes, you can install the preview release. These releases receive the same level of testing as stable releases but are not guaranteed to be available for more than 6 months after they are released. Once your application is stable, we recommend switching to stable releases. 
pip install --pre --extra-index-url https://pypi.fury.io/lancedb/ lancedb
