Consider standard naming conventions for vector dbs

Created on 1 August 2025, about 1 month ago

Problem/Motivation

Currently we have a mix of concepts:

  • Collection
  • Database
  • Namespace
  • Index

Database and collection seem to be combined to make a unique index in some providers, and a database table name in pgsql and mysql. Index is used by some.

Can we clarify what each means and come up with a standard naming convention?
