Some Perspectives on HybridRAG in an ArangoDB World

Corey Sommers — Tue, 08 Oct 2024 05:13:35 +0000

Introduction Graph databases continue to gain momentum, thanks to their knack for handling intricate relationships and context. Developers and tech leaders are seeing the potential of pairing them with the creative strength of large language models (LLMs). This combination is opening the door to more precise, context-aware answers to natural language prompts. That’s where RAG…

ArangoDB 2.8: Enhanced Explain and arangoimp Improvements

Julie Ferrario — Tue, 02 Feb 2016 15:07:46 +0000

Explain Improvements Explaining AQL queries becomes even easier in ArangoDB 2.8. While previous versions required writing a hard-to-memorize command like require("org/arangodb/aql/explainer").explain(query); to explain an AQL query from the ArangoShell, 2.8 reduces this task to a mere db._explain(query); Apart from that, explain in 2.8 is smarter when confronted with very lengthy query strings, and with queries…

Killing Long-Running Queries in ArangoDB

Jan Steemann — Fri, 29 Jan 2016 15:56:20 +0000

Suppose there is an AQL query that’s executing in the server for a long time already and you want to get rid of it. What can be done to abort that query? If a connection to the server can still be established, the easiest is to use the ArangoShell to fetch the list of currently…

Building AQL Query Strings: Tips and Best Practices | ArangoDB Blog

Jan Steemann — Mon, 31 Aug 2015 13:05:25 +0000

I recently wrote two recipes about generating AQL query strings. They are contained in the ArangoDB cookbook by now: Avoiding parameter injection in AQL Writing multi-line AQL queries After that, Github user tracker1 suggested in Github issue 1457 to take the ES6 template string variant even further, using a generator function for string building, and…

AQL Object Literal Simplification: ArangoDB Query Optimization

Jan Steemann — Tue, 28 Jul 2015 14:10:09 +0000

ArangoDB’s devel branch recently saw a change that makes writing some AQL queries a bit simpler. The change introduces an optional shorthand notation for object attributes in the style of ES6’s enhanced object literal notation. For example, consider the following query that groups values by age attribute and counts the number of documents per distinct…

Mastering AQL: Return Distinct Values | ArangoDB Blog

Jan Steemann — Mon, 27 Jul 2015 11:48:52 +0000

Last week saw the addition of the RETURN DISTINCT for AQL queries. This is a new shortcut syntax for making result sets unique. For this purpose it can be used as an easier-to-memorize alternative for the already existing COLLECT statement. COLLECT is very flexible and can be used for multiple purposes, but it is syntactic…
