Is there a way to easily inspect all the values in my index? Like you would in a normal sql database. The webui doesnt allow browsing the values.

Also, I don’t know how to do this by code either. I tried passing an empty array in `index.fetch(ids=[])` but it doesnt return anything

HI @rtan

As for right now there is no real way to do this (this is not a “normal” database). I think there might be some workarounds that the community came up with, but I do not remember for sure.

What I’ve come to do is keep a separate collection of all the IDs I’ve upserted in each Pinecone Index so I can easily fetch all of them. The problem here is if you are using other clients (Langchain for example) that keep the upserting ids “hidden” from you by default.

Hope this helps
