    PGVector

    PGvector is an open-source PostgreSQL extension for vector similarity search, adding vector data type and operators like cosine and L2 distance. It supports HNSW and IVFFlat indexes for fast ANN search on high-dimensional data, integrating seamlessly with SQL for hybrid queries. Ideal for apps needing ACID transactions and relational data alongside vectors, unlike pure vector DBs like Milvus; outperforms native Postgres for vectors.

    ruvector-postgres

    PostgreSQL extension providing 230+ SQL functions as pgvector replacement, enabling vector search, graph queries, and AI features directly in relational databases.

    QBit

    ClickHouse's vector search extension that adds kNN similarity search capabilities to the ClickHouse columnar database, enabling hybrid analytical + vector queries at scale.

    libSQL

    Open-source, open-contribution fork of SQLite maintained by Turso that adds native vector search with DiskANN indexing, making it production-ready and fully backwards compatible with SQLite.

    HeatWave

    A feature for MySQL that integrates vector store capabilities, allowing users to store and process vector embeddings for AI applications.

    Lantern

    Lantern is a PostgreSQL extension that enables efficient vector search capabilities, allowing users to perform similarity searches directly within their PostgreSQL databases.

    Overview

    sqlite-vss (SQLite Vector Similarity Search) is a SQLite extension that brings vector search capabilities to SQLite databases using the FAISS library. It enables building semantic search engines, recommendation systems, and question-answering tools directly within SQLite.

    Important Note

    The development effort has shifted to sqlite-vec, which is easier to install and use. sqlite-vec is written in pure C with no dependencies and runs anywhere SQLite runs (Linux, macOS, Windows, browsers with WASM, Raspberry Pi).

    Key Features

    • FAISS Integration: Leverages the powerful FAISS library for approximate nearest neighbor search
    • FTS5-like API: Similar API to SQLite's fts5 Full-Text Search Extension for familiarity
    • Bring-Your-Own-Vectors: Compatible with any embedding or vector data
    • K-Nearest Neighbors: Supports similarity search using the vss_search function

    Dependencies

    Requires the vector0 extension to be loaded before vss0.

    Platform Support

    • Python bindings
    • Node.js bindings
    • Integration with frameworks like LangChain for AI applications

    Use Cases

    • Semantic search within SQLite databases
    • Building recommendation engines
    • Question-answering systems
    • Lightweight vector search for embedded applications
