优化向量查询性能

本文档介绍了如何调整索引,以提高查询性能并提升检索率。

分析查询

使用 EXPLAIN ANALYZE 命令分析查询数据分析,如以下 SQL 查询示例所示。

  EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT result-column
  FROM my-table
  ORDER BY EMBEDDING_COLUMN <-> embedding('text-embedding-005', 'What is a database?')::vector
  LIMIT 1;

示例响应 QUERY PLAN 包含所用时间、扫描或返回的行数以及使用的资源等信息。

Limit  (cost=0.42..15.27 rows=1 width=32) (actual time=0.106..0.132 rows=1 loops=1)
  ->  Index Scan using my-scann-index on my-table  (cost=0.42..858027.93 rows=100000 width=32) (actual time=0.105..0.129 rows=1 loops=1)
        Order By: (embedding_column <-> embedding('text-embedding-005', 'What is a database?')::vector(768))
        Limit value: 1
Planning Time: 0.354 ms
Execution Time: 0.141 ms

查看向量索引指标

您可以使用向量索引指标来查看向量索引的性能、确定需要改进的方面,并根据需要根据指标调整索引。

如需查看所有矢量索引指标,请运行以下使用 pg_stat_ann_indexes 视图的 SQL 查询:

SELECT * FROM pg_stat_ann_indexes;

您将看到类似如下所示的输出:
