What pgvector demand means in practice
pgvector adds vector storage and similarity search to PostgreSQL. It can keep vector retrieval close to relational data and existing database operations. Using an extension does not remove the need to evaluate indexing choices, filtering and query behavior for the target workload.
Explain the vector column, distance operator and index strategy, then show the query plan and relevance measurements. Compare exact and approximate retrieval when appropriate. Include metadata filtering, updates and database maintenance, and identify the operational trade-off of running search alongside the rest of the application's PostgreSQL workload.
