pgvector & :copyfrom command not working

Version

1.27.0

What happened?

The pgvector support introduced in v1.23.0 doesn't seem to play nicely with the :copyfrom command. I get the following error with the setup described in this issue: ERROR: vector cannot have more than 16000 dimensions (SQLSTATE 54000). Even though the inserted pgvector has the dimension of 1024, same as the column.

When I use the following query using :exec with that same vector, then it works without problems:

-- name: CreateEmbedding :exec
INSERT INTO "embeddings"."embeddings_1024" (node_id, embedding)
VALUES (
  $1, $2
);

Relevant log output

ERROR: vector cannot have more than 16000 dimensions (SQLSTATE 54000)

Database schema

CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector;

CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS "embeddings";

CREATE TABLE "embeddings"."embeddings_1024" (
    node_id BIGINT PRIMARY KEY,
    embedding VECTOR(1024)
);

SQL queries

-- name: CreateEmbeddings :copyfrom
INSERT INTO "embeddings"."embeddings_1024" (node_id, embedding)
VALUES (
  $1, $2
);

Configuration

version: "2"
sql:
  - engine: "postgresql"
    queries: "db/query.sql"
    schema: "db/migrations"
    gen:
      go:
        package: "data"
        out: "data"
        sql_package: "pgx/v5"

Playground URL

can't use pgvector

Alternatively, here is the docker-compose.yml I use for local dev to have pgvector installed:

version: "3.9"

services:
  db:
    image: pgvector/pgvector:pg16
    restart: on-failure
    volumes:
      - db_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: postgres
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"

  adminer:
    image: ghcr.io/shyim/adminerevo:latest
    restart: on-failure
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
volumes:
  db_data:

Workaround

The workaround I'm using to still insert many vectors at once is the :batchexec command, which works fine with pgvector.
