pgvector

Semantic search inside Postgres itself — RAG without an extra database.

Claude Code Cursor Codex Windsurf

Overview

pgvector is a Postgres extension that stores embeddings and runs fast similarity search (HNSW indexes) — so semantic search and RAG live inside the database you already run: same tables, joins and backups. The agent adds the vector column and builds the pipeline from embedding to query.

The golden rule for most projects: start with pgvector before paying for a separate vector DB — you usually never need one.

Who Is This For?

  • Semantic search over content and products
  • RAG over your documents in your existing DB
  • Similarity recommendations (related items)
  • Hybrid filtering: vectors + normal SQL conditions

Installation

Setup for Claude Code
CREATE EXTENSION vector; -- then add a vector column and an HNSW index
