### Partial Indexes
|

### Filtering
|
||||
|
||||
Consider [partial indexes](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/indexes-partial.html) for queries with a `WHERE` clause
|
||||
There are a few ways to index nearest neighbor queries with a `WHERE` clause
|
||||
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
SELECT * FROM items WHERE category_id = 123 ORDER BY embedding <-> '[3,1,2]' LIMIT 5;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
can be indexed with:
|
||||
Create an index on one or more of the `WHERE` columns for exact search
|
||||
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
CREATE INDEX ON items (category_id);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or a [partial index](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/indexes-partial.html) on the vector column for approximate search
|
||||
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
CREATE INDEX ON items USING ivfflat (embedding vector_l2_ops) WITH (lists = 100) WHERE (category_id = 123);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To index many different values of `category_id`, consider [partitioning](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-partitioning.html) on `category_id`.
|
||||
Use [partitioning](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-partitioning.html) for approximate search on many different values of the `WHERE` columns
|
||||
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
CREATE TABLE items (embedding vector(3), category_id int) PARTITION BY LIST(category_id);
