@kylelf_ @samokhvalov Support for pgvector in Cloud SQL was announced a couple of months back cloud.google.com/blog/products/…

@samokhvalov how can I find out more about vectorized, nearest neighbor searches in Postgres? Last I checked GPC lacked support for pgvector in cloudSQL (where I am) though I saw RDS has it

It's interesting that everyone seems to be so obsessed with ChatGPT/LLM, joining either "lovers" or "haters" camp, that the fact that pgvector and pg_embedding, with HNSW support, give an absolutely new perspective to text search is not appreciated yet, it seems. Instead of tsquery @@ tsvector with old-school snowball or ispell and synonym dictionaries, you can now use search on *meanings*. Or you can combine both (yet to explore how exactly). You can love or hate ChatGPT/LLM hysteria – I totally get it – but let's appreciate the fact that now we all have a new type of text search in @PostgreSQL, and it's something mind-blowing itself. "Give me all the documents that match this query by meaning, not by text" might become a new approach how we work with data. And I suspect that the old well-known (and not fully solved for full text search, unfortunately, – RUM indexes were huge, not super fast, and hence not very popular) problem of ordering by timestamptz or int8 column, with search by *meaning*, might become a big challenge again. For example, I might want to quickly find Top-N documents that match my query by meaning, but I want to order them chronologically (all new at the top) – this is an interesting problem to solve, again. If we find a good way how to do it with a single index scan, it's huge.
