Informations about the package embedding-oracle-driver
x-laravel/embedding — Oracle 26ai Driver
Oracle 26ai native vector similarity driver for x-laravel/embedding.
How It Works
- Implements
SimilarityDriver— registers as theoracledriver, similarity search runs entirely in Oracle usingVECTOR_DISTANCE - Implements
VectorStore— writes embeddings viaMERGE INTO ... USING DUALwithTO_VECTOR(), no PHP-side JSON workaround needed - Translates payload
filter:constraints to type-strictJSON_VALUESQL against theembeddablestable
Requirements
- PHP ^8.3
- Laravel ^12.0 | ^13.0
x-laravel/embedding ^1.0- Oracle Database 26ai (Free or Enterprise)
Installation
The OracleEmbeddingServiceProvider is auto-discovered and registers the oracle driver automatically.
Setup
1. Configure x-laravel/embedding
Publish the config if you haven't already:
Set the similarity driver and database connection in config/embedding.php:
2. Create the tables
This driver ships its own Oracle-native migrations that replace the default ones from x-laravel/embedding: embeddings with a VECTOR(1536, FLOAT32) column and embeddables with a native JSON payload column.
Publish and run the migrations (migrations are not loaded automatically — publish the driver migrations, not the core ones):
The published files are plain migrations in database/migrations/ — customise the DDL there if needed (e.g. tablespace, index parameters) before running migrate.
Note:
VECTOR_DISTANCEworks without an index (sequential scan). If you have the Oracle In-Memory option, add aCREATE VECTOR INDEX ... ORGANIZATION INMEMORY NEIGHBOR GRAPHstatement after publishing the migration.
3. Model
Follow the standard x-laravel/embedding setup. No Oracle-specific changes are needed on your models.
Usage
The driver is transparent — use the standard x-laravel/embedding API:
All methods set a similarity_score float attribute on each returned model.
Payload filtering
Models using #[EmbedPayload] can filter similarity searches at the database level. The driver translates filter: to a whereExists subquery with JSON_VALUE — numbers via RETURNING NUMBER, plus a JSON type guard on every condition, so comparisons are type-strict (34 never matches "34"):
Note: oci8 returns Oracle
NUMBERcolumns to PHP as strings. Add anintegercast to numeric payload fields on your models — otherwise a queued payload sync writes"34"instead of34after the DB round-trip, and type-strict filters stop matching.
