Collections are the top-level containers for your vectors and metadata. This page shows how to list what’s currently available in a database.

List collections

print(vbase.list_collections())

Example output:

['products', 'support_tickets', 'docs_v1']

Check if a collection exists

if vbase.has_collection("docs_v1"):
    print("docs_v1 exists")

View collection details

Use describe_collection() to inspect a collection’s schema and configuration.

details = vbase.describe_collection("docs_v1")
print(details)

Notes

• Collections live inside a database (db_name). Make sure you’re connected to the intended database.
• list_collections() returns names only. Use describe_collection() for schema details.
