 You’ll need to use [dimensionality reduction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionality_reduction) at the moment.
 
+#### Can I store vectors with different dimensions in the same column?
+
+You can use `vector` as the type (instead of `vector(3)`).
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE embeddings (model_id bigint, item_id bigint, embedding vector, PRIMARY KEY (model_id, item_id));
+```
+
+However, you can only create indexes on rows with the same number of dimensions (using [expression](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/indexes-expressional.html) and [partial](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/indexes-partial.html) indexing):
+
+```sql
+CREATE INDEX ON embeddings USING hnsw ((embedding::vector(3)) vector_l2_ops) WHERE (model_id = 123);
+```
+
+and query with:
+
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM embeddings WHERE model_id = 123 ORDER BY embedding::vector(3) <-> '[3,1,2]' LIMIT 5;
+```
+
+#### Can I store vectors with more precision?
+
+You can use the `double precision[]` or `numeric[]` type to store vectors with more precision.
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE items (id bigserial PRIMARY KEY, embedding double precision[]);
+
+-- use {} instead of [] for Postgres arrays
+INSERT INTO items (embedding) VALUES ('{1,2,3}'), ('{4,5,6}');
+```
+
+Optionally, add a [check constraint](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-constraints.html) to ensure data can be converted to the `vector` type and has the expected dimensions.
+
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE items ADD CHECK (vector_dims(embedding::vector) = 3);
+```
+
+Use [expression indexing](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/indexes-expressional.html) to index (at a lower precision):
+
+```sql
+CREATE INDEX ON items USING hnsw ((embedding::vector(3)) vector_l2_ops);
+```
+
+and query with:
+
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM items ORDER BY embedding::vector(3) <-> '[3,1,2]' LIMIT 5;
+```
+
+#### Do indexes need to fit into memory?
+
+No, but like other index types, you’ll likely see better performance if they do. You can get the size of an index with:
+
+```sql
+SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size('index_name'));
+```
