Vector Database
قاعدة بيانات المتجهات
GLS-000160
Definition
A database optimized for storing and searching vector embeddings — enabling semantic similarity search.
قاعدة بيانات محسَّنة لتخزين والبحث في تضمينات المتجهات — تُمكِّن البحث بالتشابه الدلالي.
Why It Matters
Without a vector database, implementing semantic search over 150+ glossary terms or 15+ projects would require calling the embedding API on every search — too slow and expensive.
بدون قاعدة بيانات متجهات، تطبيق البحث الدلالي على أكثر من 150 مصطلح في الغلوساري أو أكثر من 15 مشروع سيتطلب استدعاء API التضمين في كل بحث — بطيء جدًا ومكلف.
