4 Generate Vector Embeddings

You must generate vector embeddings from your unstructured data either outside or within Oracle Database.

To get vector embeddings, you can either use ONNX embedding machine learning models or access third-party REST APIs.

• Import Pretrained Models in ONNX Format for Vector Generation Within the Database
  You can download pretrained embedding machine learning models, convert them into ONNX format if they are not already in ONNX format, import the ONNX format models into Oracle Database, and generate vector embeddings from your data within the database.
• Generate Vector Embeddings Using Vector Utilities Leveraging Third-Party REST APIs
  Oracle AI Vector Search offers vector utilities (SQL and PL/SQL tools) to automatically generate vector embeddings from your unstructured data.
• Vector Generation Examples
  Review these examples to see how you can generate vectors within and outside the database.
