Join us for an immersive 3-hour training session where you will learn to build a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) application leveraging PostgreSQL’s open-source pgvector extension, the new DiskANN extension, Semantic Ranker, and GraphRAG. This session will guide you through integrating vector search capabilities on Azure Database for PostgreSQL. By the end of this workshop, you will have hands-on experience working on an advanced RAG application, understand recommended practices for Postgres database and indexing configuration, and gain insights into optimizing vector searches for efficient performance.
