My 2022 wish list is a Postgres plugin that adds vector + AKNN support that plays well with relational queries. There are so many use cases of that.

I believe Ant Financial has published an open source one but iirc the English language documentation is sparse.




Check out pgvector: https://github.com/ankane/pgvector (disclosure: am author)

It uses IVFFlat indexing, but could be extended to support product quantization / ScaNN.


Do you have a link? I'd like to see it.

I googled and did not find much pertaining to "ant financial" and "postgres". Perhaps your google-fu is better than mine...


Checkout the open source vector search engine Weaviate: https://github.com/semi-technologies/weaviate

It’s not a relational db, but it supports Graph-like connections between objects, which makes it really easy to model your relations.


Jup – this is an example from the demo dataset in the docs: https://link.semi.technology/3DPcphe
