    Azure ships pgvector 0.8.2, where VACUUM running beside inserts can corrupt an HNSW index without an error. The issue plans to turn autovacuum off on HNSW-indexed tables until Azure ships 0.8.4 or later.

    Mem0 blog: How we cut vector search latency by 70xEngineering blog post

    Mem0's HNSW indexes recorded 0 scans while every vector query fell back to an 8-to-14-second sequential scan over a 1,153 GB table, because the planner chose the scan once selective tenant filters entered. Mem0 moved its vectors to turbopuffer and calls staying on pgvector the sensible default under roughly 10 million vectors with simple queries.

Product documentation 7

Pages from pgvector, used to check facts for every group.

  1. README

    pgvector supports two index types for approximate nearest neighbor search: HNSW, which creates a multilayer graph, and IVFFlat, which divides vectors into lists. Adding an index trades some recall for speed. pgvector supports L2 distance, inner product, cosine distance, L1 distance, Hamming distance, and Jaccard distance. Hamming and Jaccard distance apply to binary vectors. pgvector stores single-precision, half-precision, binary, and sparse vectors, with the halfvec, bit and sparsevec types for the last three. Starting with 0.8.0, you can enable iterative index scans, which automatically scan more of the index until enough results are found or the scan reaches `hnsw.max_scan_tuples` or `ivfflat.max_probes`. Iterative scans can use strict or relaxed ordering. By default pgvector performs exact nearest neighbor search, which provides perfect recall. pgvector uses the Postgres write-ahead log (WAL), which allows for replication and point-in-time recovery. pgvector stores your vectors with the rest of your data. A vector can have up to 16,000 dimensions. You can generate and store vectors in one language and query them in another. pgvector is a Postgres extension you compile and install (supports Postgres 13+). You enable it with `CREATE EXTENSION vector` once in each database where you want to use it. The pgvector README lists a client library for Python: pgvector-python. The pgvector README lists a client library for JavaScript and TypeScript: pgvector-node. The pgvector README lists a client library for Java, Kotlin, Groovy and Scala: pgvector-java. On Linux and Mac, you compile and install pgvector (supports Postgres 13+) or install it with Docker, Homebrew, PGXN, APT, Yum, pkg, APK, or conda-forge. On Windows, you build it with nmake or install it with Docker or conda-forge. It comes preinstalled with Postgres.app and many hosted providers. HNSW indexes support `vector` up to 2,000 dimensions, `halfvec` up to 4,000 dimensions, `bit` up to 64,000 dimensions, and `sparsevec` up to 1,000 non-zero elements. IVFFlat indexes support `vector`, `halfvec` and `bit` at the same limits. A vector or half vector can have up to 16,000 dimensions, and a sparse vector up to 16,000 non-zero elements. HNSW query results are limited by the size of the dynamic candidate list (hnsw.ef_search), 40 by default, and NULL vectors (and zero vectors for cosine distance) are not indexed. A non-partitioned table has a limit of 32 TB by default in Postgres. A partitioned table can have thousands of partitions of that size.
