seekme

seekme is an end-to-end seekdb toolchain for AI workflows in-database. It keeps a minimal, explicit surface so you can stay close to SQL while adding vector search and optional embeddings.

Disclosure

This is not an official OceanBase library. It was developed by the author while employed at OceanBase, and I hope you enjoy it.

Install

pip install seekme

Optional extras:

pip install "seekme[mysql]"
pip install "seekme[remote-embeddings]"
pip install "seekme[local-embeddings]"
pip install "seekme[seekdb]"

Notes:

• seekme[remote-embeddings] requires Python 3.11+ due to provider SDK requirements.
• seekme[local-embeddings] installs sentence-transformers.
• seekme[seekdb] requires Linux and installs pylibseekdb for embedded mode.

Quickstart

SQL-only

from seekme import Client

client = Client.from_database_url("mysql+pymysql://root:@127.0.0.1:2881/seekme_test")
client.connect()

row = client.db.fetch_one("SELECT 1 AS ok")
assert row["ok"] == 1

SQL + Vector

store = client.vector_store
store.create_collection("docs", dimension=3)
store.upsert(
    "docs",
    ids=["v1", "v2"],
    vectors=[[1.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 1.0, 0.0]],
)

results = store.search("docs", query=[1.0, 0.0, 0.0], top_k=3)

SQL + Vector + Embeddings

from seekme.embeddings import LocalEmbedder

embedder = LocalEmbedder(model="sentence-transformers/paraphrase-MiniLM-L3-v2")
sdk = Client(db=client.db, embedder=embedder)

results = sdk.vector_store.search("docs", query="hello world", top_k=3)

Embedded seekdb (optional)

client = Client.from_database_url("seekdb:////tmp/seekdb.db?database=seekme_test", db_driver="seekdb")
client.connect()

Development

make install
make check
make test

Test matrix (strict envs):

• Remote mode (MySQL): set SEEKME_TEST_DB_MODE=remote with either SEEKME_TEST_DB_URL or SEEKME_TEST_DB_HOST/SEEKME_TEST_DB_PORT/SEEKME_TEST_DB_USER/SEEKME_TEST_DB_PASSWORD/SEEKME_TEST_DB_NAME.
• Embedded mode: set SEEKME_TEST_DB_MODE=embedded and SEEKME_TEST_SEEKDB_PATH (optional).
• Local embeddings: set SEEKME_TEST_LOCAL_EMBEDDING=1 and SEEKME_TEST_LOCAL_MODEL.
• Remote embeddings (e2e): set SEEKME_TEST_REMOTE_EMBEDDING=1 and SEEKME_TEST_REMOTE_API_KEY (optional SEEKME_TEST_REMOTE_MODEL/SEEKME_TEST_REMOTE_PROVIDER/SEEKME_TEST_REMOTE_API_BASE).

Use .env.test.example as a starting point for local runs.
