An In-Depth Study of Filter-Agnostic Vector Search on a PostgreSQL Database System: [Experiments & Analysis]
Summary: Production PostgreSQL study of filter-agnostic filtered vector search across selectivities and correlations, comparing post- versus inline-filtering. Shows page-access and filter-check overheads can outweigh distance costs: ScaNN may beat graph indexes, with choices determined by workload and system costs.
