A simple solution that has very good documentation and low research consumption
LanceDB is deployed on-cloud in our organization. I have only utilized the community-specific version. They have a server-client version that might actually be useful for a lot of other people. I just needed the direct one, which works quite well for me. I don't know how good the server client version is yet. Overall, I rate LanceDB a nine out of ten.
Umair Hassan - PeerSpot reviewer
Open-source and free to use with a good community
I would love to see the flashback in Percona MySQL or even in Percona PostgreSQL. It's available in Oracle, the flashback. In Oracle, there's the utility of a flashback. It stores all the information in the tables for a few days. That way, if I accidentally delete my records from the table or I need to check the value of a column or row two days back, I can. If Percona had flashback capabilities, it would be ideal. I would love to see training be easier to find. I had some complications finding the training that Percona provides. It is not displayed on the website. For example, if I want to train myself via a Percona expert through virtual files or through recorded videos or something like that, it's really difficult to find any sort of course. You have to email them first, and they will ask you whether it is for yourself or it is for the corporate sector. The course content should just be readily available and not hidden.

The most valuable feature of LanceDB is its simplicity.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for LanceDB?
I am using the community edition of LanceDB, which is very cheap.
What is your primary use case for LanceDB?
I use LanceDB for intent detection for the bot and for managing the knowledge base. When you upload a bunch of text to the bot, it will use that to know what to say when the user presents a request.
