hi @Ghattas_Salloum !!

Welcome to our community!

You need to copy over two collections into one?

If that’s the case, you can probably use our migration guide as a starting point:

Let me know if this is your objective and if this helps you.

Thanks!

Thanks for reply,

the problem i am having is when doing migration it is revectorizing the data again even though it has been already vectorized

and i couldn’t find a way around it so i decided not to vectorize the data at the beginning but do that when i migrate

any thanks for help

Hi!

If your target collection has a vectorizer properly configured, and you do not provide the vectors, Weaviate will trigger the vectorization of that objects.

To avoid that, you can provide the vector for that object. This is what we call bring your own vectors

Check here for more on that:

Let me know if you need assistance on that!

Thanks!
