In a vector database, embeddings are indexed and queried through [vector search](#vector-search) algorithms based on their vector distance or similarity. A robust mechanism is necessary to identify the most relevant data. Some well-known vector search algorithms include Hierarchical Navigable Small World (HNSW), Inverted File (IVF), DiskANN, etc.

Besides the above functionalities of a typical vector database, our integrated vector database also converts the existing raw data in your account into embeddings and stores them as vectors. This way, you avoid the extra cost of moving data to a separate vector database. Moreover, this architecture keeps your vector embeddings and original data together, and you can better achieve data consistency, scale, and performance.

Besides the above functionalities of a vector database that can only embeddings, an integrated vector database in a NoSQL or relational database converts the existing raw data in your account into embeddings and stores them alongside your original data. This way, you can better achieve data consistency, scale, and performance while avoiding the extra cost of replicating your data in a separate vector database.

It's especially popular to use vector databases to enable [retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)](#retrieval-augmented-generation) that harnesses LLMs and custom data or domain-specific information. This approach allows you to:
