Learn about Vector Utility SQL functions and Vector Utility PL/SQL packages that help you transform unstructured data into vector embeddings.

• Understand the Stages of Data Transformations
  Your input data may travel through different stages before turning into a vector.
• About SQL Functions to Generate Embeddings
  Choose to implement Vector Utility SQL functions to perform parallel or on-the-fly chunking and embedding operations, within the database. The supplied SQL functions for vector generation are VECTOR_CHUNKS and VECTOR_EMBEDDING.
• About PL/SQL Packages to Generate Embeddings
  Choose to implement Vector Utility PL/SQL packages to perform chunking, embedding, and text generation operations along with text processing and similarity search, both within and outside the database. You can schedule these operations as end-to-end pipelines. The supplied PL/SQL packages for vector generation are DBMS_VECTOR and DBMS_VECTOR_CHAIN.
