PgVectorIngestOperator
========================

Use the :class:`~airflow.providers.pgvector.operators.pgvector.PgVectorIngestOperator` to
store vector embeddings along with other data column values into a PostgreSQL table supporting
vectors.

Using the Operator
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The PgVectorIngestOperator accepts a SQL query that can be used to insert data along with
vector embeddings column data in a Postgres database table that has the vector extension.

Make sure that the pgvector extension is installed on your Postgres database.
See https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector#installation for installation instructions.

An example using the operator to ingest data is shown below:
