+# MindsDB
+
+[MindsDB](https://mindsdb.com) is an AI automation platform for building AI/ML powered features and applications. It works by connecting any source of data with any AI/ML model or framework and automating how real-time data flows between them.
+
+With the MindsDB-Qdrant integration, you can now select Qdrant as a database to load into and retrieve from with semantic search and filtering.
+
+**MindsDB allows you to easily**:
+
+ - Connect to any store of data or end-user application.
+ - Pass data to an AI model from any store of data or end-user application.
+ - Plug the output of an AI model into any store of data or end-user application.
+ - Fully automate these workflows to build AI-powered features and applications
+
+
+## Usage
+To get started with Qdrant and MindsDB, the following syntax can be used.
+```sql
+CREATE DATABASE qdrant_test
+WITH ENGINE = "qdrant",
+PARAMETERS = {
+    "location": ":memory:",
+    "collection_config": {
+        "size": 386,
+        "distance": "Cosine"
+    }
+}
+```
+The available arguments for instantiating Qdrant can be found [here](https://github.com/mindsdb/mindsdb/blob/23a509cb26bacae9cc22475497b8644e3f3e23c3/mindsdb/integrations/handlers/qdrant_handler/qdrant_handler.py#L408-L468).
+
+## Creating a new table
+
+- Qdrant options for creating a collection can be specified as `collection_config` in the `CREATE DATABASE` parameters.
+- By default, UUIDs are set as collection IDs. You can provide your own IDs under the `id` column.
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE qdrant_test.test_table (
+   SELECT embeddings,'{"source": "bbc"}' as metadata FROM mysql_demo_db.test_embeddings
+);
+```
+
+## Querying the database
+
+#### Perform a full retrieval using the following syntax.
+
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM qdrant_test.test_table
+```
+By default, the `LIMIT` is set to 10 and the `OFFSET` is set to 0.
+
+#### Perform a similarity search using your embeddings
+
+<aside role="status">Qdrant supports <a href="https://qdrant.tech/documentation/concepts/indexing/#payload-index">payload indexing</a> that vastly improves retrieval efficiency with filters and is highly recommended. Please note that this feature currently cannot be configured via MindsDB and must be set up separately if needed.</aside>
+
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM qdrant_test.test_table
+WHERE search_vector = (select embeddings from mysql_demo_db.test_embeddings limit 1)
+```
+#### Perform a search using filters
+
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM qdrant_test.test_table
+WHERE `metadata.source` = 'bbc';
+```
+
+#### Delete entries using IDs
+```sql
+DELETE FROM qtest.test_table_6
+WHERE id = 2
+```
+
+#### Delete entries using filters
+```sql
+DELETE * FROM qdrant_test.test_table
+WHERE `metadata.source` = 'bbc';
+```
+
+#### Drop a table
+```sql
+ DROP TABLE qdrant_test.test_table;
+```
