Why not `ctx.db.query("table").withIndex(vectorIndex)`?

This is just out of curiosity, why not

ctx.db.query("table").withIndex(vectorIndex)

ctx.db.query("table").withIndex(vectorIndex)

but instead

ctx.vectorSearch()

ctx.vectorSearch()

? Is it because we don't want to expose

ctx.db

ctx.db

in actions?

In fact, why is there no

ctx.db.query()

ctx.db.query()

in actions? Is there a reason for not allowing querying dB in actions? Seems to me like it should be fine since unlike mutations, determinism (or non-determinism) of the calling function (an action in this case) doesn't affect anything.

Concerning the first question, we can just use Typescript to narrow down the indexes in the

withIndex()

withIndex()

of queries and mutations to non-vector indexes, while allowing all indexes in actions.

Why not `ctx.db.query("table").withIndex(vectorIndex)`?
