FAQ
What does Inillucent do?
Inillucent is an embedded SQL database written in Rust that uses a familiar SQL syntax alongside the power of vector embeddings for semantic search. It stores tables, full-text indexes, and vector indexes in a single file and runs inside your program.
Who is Inillucent for?
Inillucent is designed for developers building agentic systems and applications that need an embedded database with robust vector search and high performance.
How fast is Inillucent compared to SQLite?
Inillucent is 500% faster than SQLite overall, faster than SQLite on 110 of 116 benchmark workloads, 3300% faster on reads by key, and 70% faster from Python, Node, and the shell.
Does Inillucent support vector search?
Yes, Inillucent provides comprehensive vector embedding support for semantic search using VECTOR(N) columns and HNSW indexes.
Does Inillucent require a database server?
No, Inillucent is an embedded database, meaning there is no database server to install or keep running; your program opens a file and sends SQL to a library in the same process.
