community[patch]: Use SQLAlchemy's `bulk_save_objects` method to improve insert performance (#16244)
- **Description:** Improve [pgvector vector store
adapter](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/blob/v0.1.1/libs/community/langchain_community/vectorstores/pgvector.py)
to save embeddings in batches, to improve its performance.
- **Issue:** NA
- **Dependencies:** NA

Hi again from the CrateDB team,
following up on GH-16243, this is another minor patch to the pgvector
vector store adapter. Inserting embeddings in batches, using
[SQLAlchemy's
`bulk_save_objects`](https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/20/orm/session_api.html#sqlalchemy.orm.Session.bulk_save_objects)
method, can deliver substantial performance gains.
With kind regards,
Andreas.
NB: As I am seeing just now that this method is a legacy feature of SA
2.0, it will need to be reworked on a future iteration. However, it is
not deprecated yet, and I haven't been able to come up with a different
implementation, yet.
