@svonava I think the template YAML is missing causing the CI failure - but could you or someone else in the team confirm?

this is the language (or languages) that ObjectBox is developed in (given the length of your list here, I assume that you understood this as "languages compatible with our SDK") - the eligible values can be seen here:
https://github.com/superlinked/VectorHub/blob/main/docs/tools/vdb_table/vendor.schema.json#L150

(if the language you need isn't on the list, feel free to update vendor.schema.json as a part of this PR)

in this field, the license is for the vector database part of your offering - is that one Apache2, MIT or proprietary? (the datasync part of your product, if it's separate, should not be taken into account - I assume that one is proprietary?)

"proprietory" is a typo

can you create a discussion thread in https://github.com/superlinked/VectorHub/discussions and link it here? (see the other vendor threads for inspiration)

To clarify, geo search is about geospatial queries ala https://postgis.net/ - I checked the source briefly but don't see any geospatial search functionality - can you elaborate?

Btw, you can find explanations for what each column here:

always important to link the most specific source, i.e. here it might be https://docs.objectbox.io/relations

also, can you elaborate on how you get "Ability to create and index multiple vectors for a given document" via relations?

can you point specifically to "the ability to store multiple isolated indexes within one database instance" (this is what multi-tenancy means)

"The search index is sharded across multiple machines." - can you point to docs that explain how you do that?

The schema is there[1], the PR failed validation because it doesn't match the schema currently[2].
