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.
