#### Can I store vectors with different dimensions in the same column?
You can use the `vector` type (instead of `vector(3)`). However, to index the column, youll need to use an [expression](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/indexes-expressional.html) to set the number of dimensions and a partial index to filter rows with different dimensions.
You can use the `vector` type (instead of `vector(3)`). However, you can only create indexes on rows with the same number of dimensions (using [partial indexing](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/indexes-partial.html) on an [expression](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/indexes-expressional.html)).
