Use Ollama Embeddings with PostgreSQL (Tutorial)
🔥 Build AI Apps with PostgreSQL, pgvector, and Ollama: Complete Tutorial
Learn how to build powerful AI applications using PostgreSQL, pgVector, and Ollama! In this tutorial, we'll show you how to:
Set up Ollama for local LLM deployment
Use pgVector to turn Postgres into a vector database
Automate embedding creation with pgai Vectorizer
Perform semantic search on text data
Build a RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) application
We'll use Sam Altman's blog posts as example data to demonstrate how to create a complete RAG pipeline using 100% open source tools. All the code runs locally on your machine - no API costs or third-party dependencies required!
🛠️ Technologies covered:
PostgreSQL
Ollama
pgvector extension
Pgai Extension & Vectorizer
Nomic Embed (embedding model)
TinyLlama (1.1B parameter LLM)
