pgvector examples for Fortran

Getting Started

Follow the instructions for your database library:

Libpq-Fortran

Libpq-Fortran

Enable the extension

type(c_ptr) :: res

res = PQexec(conn, "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector")

Create a table

res = PQexec(conn, "CREATE TABLE items (id bigserial PRIMARY KEY, embedding vector(3))")

Insert vectors

character(256) :: values(2)

values(1) = "[1,2,3]"
values(2) = "[4,5,6]"
res = PQexecParams(conn, "INSERT INTO items (embedding) VALUES ($1), ($2)", 2, [0, 0], values)

Get the nearest neighbors

character(256) :: values(1)

values(1) = "[3,1,2]"
res = PQexecParams(conn, "SELECT * FROM items ORDER BY embedding <-> $1 LIMIT 5", 1, [0], values)

Add an approximate index

res = PQexec(conn, "CREATE INDEX ON items USING hnsw (embedding vector_l2_ops)")
! or
res = PQexec(conn, "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
