## §6 Setting Up Turso + sqlite-vec — ALREADY COMPLETE

This section is fully written in `edu/src/vector-db.md` under `### 6. Setting Up`. No further content work is needed. Mark this ticket done.

## What was written

- Project setup: `cargo new vec-demo`, `libsql = "0.9"`, `tokio` with full features
- Release profile: `opt-level = "z"`, `lto = true`, `strip = true`, `codegen-units = 1`
- Opening a local connection: `Builder::new_local("vectors.db").build().await?`
- Verifying the connection with `SELECT sqlite_version()`
- Reference table of all sqlite-vec constructs used in later exercises: `F32_BLOB(d)`, `vector()`, `vector_extract()`, `vector_distance_cos()`, `libsql_vector_idx`, `vector_top_k()`
- Creating a `F32_BLOB(3)` vector table
- Creating an HNSW index with `USING libsql_vector_idx(embedding)`
- Complete working `main.rs` listing — produces "SQLite version: x.y.z" and "Database ready."
