Learn to store and query OpenAI embeddings in PostgreSQL using pg_vector for efficient similarity searches

intermediate Published 2 Feb 2025
Action Steps
  1. Install pg_vector extension in PostgreSQL using the command CREATE EXTENSION pg_vector;
  2. Create a table with a vector column to store OpenAI embeddings using the command CREATE TABLE embeddings (id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, vector vector(128));
  3. Index the vector column using the command CREATE INDEX embeddings_vector_idx ON embeddings USING ivfflat (vector);
  4. Insert embeddings into the table using the command INSERT INTO embeddings (vector) VALUES (vector_from_text('example text'));
  5. Query the embeddings using similarity search with the command SELECT * FROM embeddings ORDER BY similarity(vector, vector_from_text('query text')) LIMIT 10;
