SingleStore DB vector store.

The prerequisite for using this class is the installation of the singlestoredb Python package.

The SingleStoreDB vectorstore can be created by providing an embedding function and the relevant parameters for the database connection, connection pool, and optionally, the names of the table and the fields to use.

Create a SingleStoreDB vectorstore from raw documents. This is a user-friendly interface that:
