PostgreSQL is a robust, open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) known for its reliability, extensibility, and support for advanced data types. It provides powerful SQL capabilities and is widely used for traditional structured data storage.
In the context of AI, PostgreSQL often serves as the backbone for managing datasets, storing model results, and enabling efficient queries for AI applications. Its support for JSON and extensions makes it versatile for both structured and semi-structured data, essential in AI workflows.
Pgvector:
Pgvector is an extension for PostgreSQL that enables vector similarity search and storage directly within the database. This integration allows AI developers to use PostgreSQL as both a database and a vector search engine, simplifying architecture and improving scalability.
