VECTOR_NORM
VECTOR_NORM(<v>, <metric>)
The VECTOR_NORM function returns the distance between the given vector and the zero vector. Similar to VECTOR_DISTANCE, it returns a double-precision FLOAT. It is defined only for the EUCLIDEAN, EUCLIDEAN_SQUARED and MANHATTAN metrics.
The “zero vector” is the vector with all zero coordinates, of the appropriate dimension and type.
