    Querying the Database in LangChain Style

    Staring from langchain_community version 0.0.31, Oracle introduced a new LangChain document loader that allows you to load the results of an SQL query, against an Oracle Autonomous Database (ADB), as documents that your retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) application can use for text generation tasks. In a previous article, I described how the select ai feature available in ADBs combines the use of database metadata and large-language models (LPublished: Sun Apr 21st, 2024

But, does it makes sense to do a 1:1 lift-and-shift for every fePublished: Thu Apr 11th, 2024
