Enabling vector search in the workspace

[m12]

Hi,

I'm testing out LLM/RAG Databricks demo here: https://notebooks.databricks.com/demos/llm-rag-chatbot/index.html?_gl=1*1nj8hq2*_gcl_au*MTcxOTY0MDY4...

As part of the demo, I'm trying to create a vector search with the line below.

vsc.create_catalog("vs_catalog")

This is error about vector search not being enabled in the workspace (see below). How could I enable this? I'm on a trial subscription for Databricks Premium.

"Vector search is not enabled for this workspace."

Thanks @Retired_mod, makes sense. I think given I'm on a trial period I cannot raise a support ticket (when I try to click create support ticket I get redirected to the community page), so thought I'd check if other people have encountered this error. One of my assumptions though is that it's related to the trial subscription and that vector search is not available there.
