MariaDB
This page covers how to use the MariaDB ecosystem within LangChain. It is broken into two parts: installation and setup, and then references to specific PGVector wrappers.
Installationโ
- Install c/c connector
on Debian, Ubuntu
sudo apt install libmariadb3 libmariadb-dev
on CentOS, RHEL, Rocky Linux
sudo yum install MariaDB-shared MariaDB-devel
- Install the Python connector package with
pip install mariadb
Setupโ
-
The first step is to have a MariaDB 11.7.1 or later installed.
The docker image is the easiest way to get started.
Wrappersโ
VectorStoreโ

To import this vectorstore:
from langchain_mariadb import MariaDBStore
