## Setting Up Managed Databases

### Step 1: Connect to Your PostgreSQL Database

To perform these actions, you'll need to connect to your PostgreSQL database. You can use any PostgreSQL client, such as psql. The following steps will guide you through setting up your database to handle vector storage and document tracking.

1. Install the pgvector extension
### Step 2: Install the pgvector Extension

pgvector is essential for storing and indexing high-dimensional vectors, which are critical for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems. Ensure that it is installed by executing the following SQL command:

```sql
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector;
```
2. Create a table to track processed documents
### Step 3: Create a Table to Track Processed Documents

To prevent reprocessing documents that have already been loaded and vectorized, you should create a table to keep track of them. This will ensure that new documents added to your object storage bucket are only processed once, avoiding duplicate downloads and redundant vectorization:

```sql
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS object_loaded (id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, object_key TEXT);
```

3. Connect to PostgreSQL programmatically using Python
You can also connect to your PostgreSQL instance and perform the same tasks programmatically.

## Embeddings and Vector Store Setup

### Set Up Document Loaders for Object Storage

In this section, we will use LangChain to load documents stored in your Scaleway Object Storage bucket. The document loader retrieves the contents of each document for further processing, such as vectorization or embedding generation.

1. Storing Data for RAG
Ensure that all the documents and data you want to inject into your Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system are stored in this Scaleway Object Storage bucket. These could include text files, PDFs, or any other format that will be processed and vectorized in the following steps.

2. Import Required Modules
Before setting up the document loader, you need to import the necessary modules from LangChain and other libraries. Here's how to do that:

```python
# rag.py

from langchain.document_loaders import S3DirectoryLoader
import os
```

3. Set Up the Document Loader
The S3DirectoryLoader class, part of LangChain, is specifically designed to load documents from S3-compatible storage (in this case, Scaleway Object Storage).
Now, let’s configure the document loader to pull files from your Scaleway Object Storage bucket using the appropriate credentials and environment variables:

```python
# rag.py

document_loader = S3DirectoryLoader(
bucket=os.getenv('SCW_BUCKET_NAME'),
endpoint_url=os.getenv('SCW_BUCKET_ENDPOINT'),
aws_access_key_id=os.getenv("SCW_ACCESS_KEY"),
aws_secret_access_key=os.getenv("SCW_API_KEY")
)

```

This section highlights that you're leveraging LangChain’s document loader capabilities to connect directly to your Scaleway Object Storage. LangChain simplifies the process of integrating external data sources, allowing you to focus on building a RAG system without handling low-level integration details.
### Step 1: Import Required Modules

### Embeddings and Vector Store Setup
1. Import the required module
```python
# rag.py

from langchain_openai import OpenAIEmbeddings
from langchain_postgres import PGVector
```

2. We will utilize the OpenAIEmbeddings class from LangChain and store the embeddings in PostgreSQL using the PGVector integration.

Moreover, leaving tiktoken_enabled as True causes issues when sending data to Scaleway’s API because it results in tokenized vectors being sent instead of raw text. Since Scaleway's endpoint expects text and not pre-tokenized data, this mismatch can lead to errors or incorrect behavior.
By setting tiktoken_enabled=False, you ensure that raw text is sent to Scaleway's Managed Inference endpoint, which is what the sentence-transformers model expects to process. This guarantees that the embedding generation process works smoothly with Scaleway's infrastructure.

2. Next, configure the connection string for your PostgreSQL instance and create a PGVector store to store these embeddings.
### Step 3: Create a PGVector Store

Configure the connection string for your PostgreSQL instance and create a PGVector store to store these embeddings.

```python
# rag.py

connection_string = f"postgresql+psycopg2://{conn.info.user}:{conn.info.password}@{conn.info.host}:{conn.info.port}/{conn.info.dbname}"
vector_store = PGVector(connection=connection_string, embeddings=embeddings)
```

PGVector: This creates the vector store in your PostgreSQL database to store the embeddings.

### Load and Process Documents
## Load and Process Documents

Use the S3FileLoader to load documents and split them into chunks. Then, embed and store them in your PostgreSQL database.

1. Load Metadata for Improved Efficiency: By loading the metadata for all objects in your bucket, you can speed up the process significantly. This allows you to quickly check if a document has already been embedded without the need to load the entire document.

### Query the RAG system with you own prompt template

Personalizing your prompt template allows you to tailor the responses from your RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) system to better fit your specific needs. This can significantly improve the relevance and tone of the answers you receive. Below is a detailed guide on how to create a custom prompt for querying the system.

```python
#rag.py

from langchain.chains.combine_documents import create_stuff_documents_chain
from langchain_core.prompts import PromptTemplate
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

llm = ChatOpenAI(
base_url=os.getenv("SCW_INFERENCE_DEPLOYMENT_ENDPOINT"),
api_key=os.getenv("SCW_SECRET_KEY"),
model=deployment.model_name,
)
prompt = """Use the following pieces of context to answer the question at the end. If you don't know the answer, just say that you don't know, don't try to make up an answer. Always finish your answer by "Thank you for asking". {context} Question: {question} Helpful Answer:"""
custom_rag_prompt = PromptTemplate.from_template(prompt)
retriever = vector_store.as_retriever()
custom_rag_chain = create_stuff_documents_chain(llm, custom_rag_prompt)


context = retriever.invoke("your question")
for r in custom_rag_chain.stream({"question":"your question", "context": context}):
print(r, end="", flush=True)
time.sleep(0.1)
```

- Prompt Template: The prompt template is meticulously crafted to direct the model's responses. It clearly instructs the model on how to leverage the provided context and emphasizes the importance of honesty in cases where it lacks information.
To make the responses more engaging, consider adding a light-hearted conclusion or a personalized touch. For example, you might modify the closing line to say, "Thank you for asking! I'm here to help with anything else you need!"
Retrieving Context:
- The retriever.invoke(new_message) method fetches relevant information from your vector store based on the user’s query. It's essential that this step retrieves high-quality context to ensure that the model's responses are accurate and helpful.
You can enhance the quality of the context by fine-tuning your embeddings and ensuring that the documents in your vector store are relevant and well-structured.
Creating the RAG Chain:
- The create_stuff_documents_chain function connects the language model with your custom prompt. This integration allows the model to process the retrieved context effectively and formulate a coherent and context-aware response.
Consider experimenting with different chain configurations to see how they affect the output. For instance, using a different chain type may yield varied responses.
Streaming Responses:
- The loop that streams responses from the custom_rag_chain provides a dynamic user experience. Instead of waiting for the entire output, users can see responses as they are generated, enhancing interactivity.
You can customize the streaming behavior further, such as implementing progress indicators or more sophisticated UI elements for applications.

#### Example Use Cases
- Customer Support: Use a custom prompt to answer customer queries effectively, making the interactions feel more personalized and engaging.
- Research Assistance: Tailor prompts to provide concise summaries or detailed explanations on specific topics, enhancing your research capabilities.
- Content Generation: Personalize prompts for creative writing, generating responses that align with specific themes or tones.
