It wraps OceanBase's vector indexing (HNSW, VSAG) and exposes it through two main interfaces: a Milvus-compatible API for drop-in compatibility with existing Milvus code, and a SQLAlchemy hybrid mode that lets you mix vector operations with standard SQL queries on the same tables.\n\nThe package is built on top of SQLAlchemy, aiomysql, and pymysql for database connectivity, and numpy for vector operations. It supports four modes of use: Milvus-compatible collections, SQLAlchemy ORM with vector extensions, embedded local SeekDB (no server), and hybrid search combining full-text and vector similarity. Installation is straightforward (pure Python wheel), and it requires Python 3.10+.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already using OceanBase or planning to adopt it for vector workloads. The Milvus-compatible API lowers switching costs, and SQLAlchemy integration lets you avoid a separate vector database. No security vulnerabilities reported. Active maintenance and low install friction. Not recommended if you need a standalone vector database\u2014pyobvector is a client for OceanBase, not a replacement for it."},"id":"pyobvector","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobvector","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyobvector.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyobvector/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-29","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyobvector","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A python SDK for OceanBase Vector Store, based on SQLAlchemy, compatible with Milvus API."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":115089,"position":12269,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.29"}
