Namespaces in EmergentDB

Help the user work with namespaces to organize vectors into isolated groups.

TypeScript SDK

import { EmergentDB } from "emergentdb";

const db = new EmergentDB("emdb_your_api_key");

// List all namespaces
const namespaces = await db.listNamespaces();
// ["default", "production", "staging"]

// Insert into a namespace (creates it automatically)
await db.insert(1, embedding, { title: "Doc" }, "production");

// Search within a namespace
const results = await db.search(queryVec, {
  k: 10,
  includeMetadata: true,
  namespace: "production",
});

// Batch insert into a namespace
await db.batchInsert(vectors, "staging");

Python SDK

from emergentdb import EmergentDB

db = EmergentDB("emdb_your_api_key")

# List all namespaces
namespaces = db.list_namespaces()
# ["default", "production", "staging"]

# Insert into a namespace (creates it automatically)
db.insert(1, embedding, metadata={"title": "Doc"}, namespace="production")

# Search within a namespace
results = db.search(query_vec, k=10, include_metadata=True, namespace="production")

# Batch insert into a namespace
db.batch_insert(vectors, namespace="staging")

Key Details

• Auto-created: Namespaces are created automatically on first insert. No setup required.
• Isolation: Vectors in one namespace are completely invisible to searches in another.
• Default namespace: If no namespace is specified, operations use "default".
• Naming: Namespace names are strings up to 64 characters.
• Listing: listNamespaces() / list_namespaces() returns all namespaces for your account.

Plans & Limits

Plan	Vectors	Price
Free	10,000	$0/mo
Launch	500,000	$29/mo
Scale	2,500,000	$99/mo

Namespaces share your account's total vector quota. Upgrade from the billing page.

Common Pattern: Multi-Environment Setup

from emergentdb import EmergentDB

db = EmergentDB("emdb_your_api_key")

# Separate environments by namespace
for doc in documents:
    db.insert(doc["id"], doc["embedding"], metadata=doc["meta"], namespace="staging")

# Promote to production when ready
for doc in documents:
    db.insert(doc["id"], doc["embedding"], metadata=doc["meta"], namespace="production")

When helping the user, suggest namespaces for organizing data by environment, tenant, or data type.
