# pgvector-go

[pgvector](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector) support for Go

Supports [pgx](https://github.com/jackc/pgx), [pg](https://github.com/go-pg/pg), [Bun](https://github.com/uptrace/bun), [Ent](https://github.com/ent/ent), [GORM](https://github.com/go-gorm/gorm), and [sqlx](https://github.com/jmoiron/sqlx)

[![Build Status](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector-go/actions/workflows/build.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector-go/actions)

## Getting Started

Run:

```sh
go get github.com/pgvector/pgvector-go
```

And follow the instructions for your database library:

- [pgx](#pgx)
- [pg](#pg)
- [Bun](#bun)
- [Ent](#ent)
- [GORM](#gorm)
- [sqlx](#sqlx)

Or check out some examples:

- [Embeddings](examples/openai/main.go) with OpenAI
- [Binary embeddings](examples/cohere/main.go) with Cohere
- [Recommendations](examples/disco/main.go) with Disco
- [Horizontal scaling](examples/citus/main.go) with Citus
- [Bulk loading](examples/loading/main.go) with `COPY`

## pgx

Import the packages

```go
import (
"github.com/pgvector/pgvector-go"
pgxvector "github.com/pgvector/pgvector-go/pgx"
)
```

Enable the extension

```go
_, err := conn.Exec(ctx, "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector")
```

Register the types

```go
err := pgxvector.RegisterTypes(ctx, conn)
```

Create a table

```go
_, err := conn.Exec(ctx, "CREATE TABLE items (id bigserial PRIMARY KEY, embedding vector(3))")
```

Insert a vector

```go
_, err := conn.Exec(ctx, "INSERT INTO items (embedding) VALUES ($1)", pgvector.NewVector([]float32{1, 2, 3}))
```

Get the nearest neighbors to a vector

```go
rows, err := conn.Query(ctx, "SELECT id FROM items ORDER BY embedding <-> $1 LIMIT 5", pgvector.NewVector([]float32{1, 2, 3}))
```

Add an approximate index

```go
_, err := conn.Exec(ctx, "CREATE INDEX ON items USING hnsw (embedding vector_l2_ops)")
// or
_, err := conn.Exec(ctx, "CREATE INDEX ON items USING ivfflat (embedding vector_l2_ops) WITH (lists = 100)")
```

Use `vector_ip_ops` for inner product and `vector_cosine_ops` for cosine distance

See a [full example](pgx_test.go)

## pg

Import the package

```go
import "github.com/pgvector/pgvector-go"
```

Enable the extension

```go
_, err := db.Exec("CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector")
```

Add a vector column

```go
type Item struct {
Embedding pgvector.Vector `pg:"type:vector(3)"`
}
```

Insert a vector

```go
item := Item{
Embedding: pgvector.NewVector([]float32{1, 2, 3}),
}
_, err := db.Model(&item).Insert()
```

Get the nearest neighbors to a vector

```go
var items []Item
err := db.Model(&items).
OrderExpr("embedding <-> ?", pgvector.NewVector([]float32{1, 2, 3})).
Limit(5).
Select()
```

Add an approximate index

```go
_, err := conn.Exec(ctx, "CREATE INDEX ON items USING hnsw (embedding vector_l2_ops)")
// or
_, err := conn.Exec(ctx, "CREATE INDEX ON items USING ivfflat (embedding vector_l2_ops) WITH (lists = 100)")
```

Use `vector_ip_ops` for inner product and `vector_cosine_ops` for cosine distance

See a [full example](pg_test.go)

## Bun

Import the package

```go
import "github.com/pgvector/pgvector-go"
```

Enable the extension

```go
_, err := db.Exec("CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector")
```

Add a vector column

```go
type Item struct {
Embedding pgvector.Vector `bun:"type:vector(3)"`
}
```

Insert a vector

```go
item := Item{
Embedding: pgvector.NewVector([]float32{1, 2, 3}),
}
_, err := db.NewInsert().Model(&item).Exec(ctx)
```

Get the nearest neighbors to a vector

```go
var items []Item
err := db.NewSelect().
Model(&items).
OrderExpr("embedding <-> ?", pgvector.NewVector([]float32{1, 2, 3})).
Limit(5).
Scan(ctx)
```

Add an approximate index

```go
var _ bun.AfterCreateTableHook = (*Item)(nil)

func (*Item) AfterCreateTable(ctx context.Context, query *bun.CreateTableQuery) error {
_, err := query.DB().NewCreateIndex().
Model((*Item)(nil)).
Index("items_embedding_idx").
ColumnExpr("embedding vector_l2_ops").
Using("hnsw").
Exec(ctx)
return err
}
```

Use `vector_ip_ops` for inner product and `vector_cosine_ops` for cosine distance

See a [full example](bun_test.go)

## Ent

Import the package

```go
import "github.com/pgvector/pgvector-go"
```

Enable the extension (requires the [sql/execquery](https://entgo.io/docs/feature-flags/#sql-raw-api) feature)

```go
_, err := client.ExecContext(ctx, "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector")
```

Add a vector column

```go
func (Item) Fields() []ent.Field {
return []ent.Field{
field.Other("embedding", pgvector.Vector{}).
SchemaType(map[string]string{
dialect.Postgres: "vector(3)",
}),
}
}
```

Insert a vector

```go
_, err := client.Item.
Create().
SetEmbedding(pgvector.NewVector([]float32{1, 2, 3})).
Save(ctx)
```

Get the nearest neighbors to a vector

```go
items, err := client.Item.
Query().
Order(func(s *sql.Selector) {
s.OrderExpr(sql.ExprP("embedding <-> $1", pgvector.NewVector([]float32{1, 2, 3})))
}).
Limit(5).
All(ctx)
```

Add an approximate index

```go
func (Item) Indexes() []ent.Index {
return []ent.Index{
index.Fields("embedding").
Annotations(
entsql.IndexType("hnsw"),
entsql.OpClass("vector_l2_ops"),
),
}
}
```

Use `vector_ip_ops` for inner product and `vector_cosine_ops` for cosine distance

## GORM

Import the package

```go
import "github.com/pgvector/pgvector-go"
```

Enable the extension

```go
db.Exec("CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector")

type Item struct {
Embedding pgvector.Vector `gorm:"type:vector(3)"`
}
```

Insert a vector

```go
item := Item{
Embedding: pgvector.NewVector([]float32{1, 2, 3}),
}
result := db.Create(&item)
```

Get the nearest neighbors to a vector

```go
var items []Item
db.Clauses(clause.OrderBy{
Expression: clause.Expr{SQL: "embedding <-> ?", Vars: []interface{}{pgvector.NewVector([]float32{1, 1, 1})}},
}).Limit(5).Find(&items)
```

Add an approximate index

```go
db.Exec("CREATE INDEX ON items USING hnsw (embedding vector_l2_ops)")
// or
db.Exec("CREATE INDEX ON items USING ivfflat (embedding vector_l2_ops) WITH (lists = 100)")
```

Use `vector_ip_ops` for inner product and `vector_cosine_ops` for cosine distance

## sqlx

Import the package

```go
import "github.com/pgvector/pgvector-go"
```

Enable the extension

```go
db.MustExec("CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector")
```

Add a vector column

type Item struct {
Embedding pgvector.Vector
}
```

Insert a vector

```go
item := Item{
Embedding: pgvector.NewVector([]float32{1, 2, 3}),

```

Get the nearest neighbors to a vector

```go
var items []Item

```

Add an approximate index

```go
db.MustExec("CREATE INDEX ON items USING hnsw (embedding vector_l2_ops)")
