Other basic vector operations for Oracle AI Vector Search involve creating, converting, and describing vectors.

• Vector Constructors
  TO_VECTOR() and VECTOR() are synonymous constructors of vectors. The functions take a string of type VARCHAR2 or CLOB as input and return a vector as output.
• Vector Serializers
  FROM_VECTOR() and VECTOR_SERIALIZE() are synonymous serializers of vectors. The functions take a vector as input and return a string of type VARCHAR2 or CLOB as output.
• VECTOR_NORM
  VECTOR_NORM returns the Euclidean norm of a vector (SQRT(SUM((xi-yi)2))) as a BINARY_DOUBLE. This value is also called magnitude or size and represents the Euclidean distance between the vector and the origin.
• VECTOR_DIMENSION_COUNT
  VECTOR_DIMENSION_COUNT returns the number of dimensions of a vector as a NUMBER.
• VECTOR_DIMS
  VECTOR_DIMS returns the number of dimensions of a vector as a NUMBER. VECTOR_DIMS is synonymous with VECTOR_DIMENSION_COUNT.
• VECTOR_DIMENSION_FORMAT
  VECTOR_DIMENSION_FORMAT returns the storage format of the vector. It returns a VARCHAR2, which can be one of the following values: INT8, FLOAT32, FLOAT64, or BINARY.
