# Docs: compound ecosystem and integrations

**Problem statement:** We have a big overlap between the
References/Integrations and Ecosystem/LongChain Ecosystem pages. It
confuses users. It creates a situation when new integration is added
only on one of these pages, which creates even more confusion.
- removed References/Integrations page (but move all its information
into the individual integration pages - in the next PR).
- renamed Ecosystem/LongChain Ecosystem into Integrations/Integrations.
I like the Ecosystem term. It is more generic and semantically richer
than the Integration term. But it mentally overloads users. The
`integration` term is more concrete.
UPDATE: after discussion, the Ecosystem is the term.
Ecosystem/Integrations is the page (in place of Ecosystem/LongChain
Ecosystem).

As a result, a user gets a single place to start with the individual
integration.

# PGVector
This page covers how to use the Postgres [PGVector](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector) ecosystem within LangChain
It is broken into two parts: installation and setup, and then references to specific PGVector wrappers.
## Installation
- Install the Python package with `pip install pgvector`
## Setup
1. The first step is to create a database with the `pgvector` extension installed.
Follow the steps at [PGVector Installation Steps](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector#installation) to install the database and the extension. The docker image is the easiest way to get started.
## Wrappers
### VectorStore
There exists a wrapper around Postgres vector databases, allowing you to use it as a vectorstore,
whether for semantic search or example selection.
To import this vectorstore:
```python
from langchain.vectorstores.pgvector import PGVector
```
### Usage
For a more detailed walkthrough of the PGVector Wrapper, see [this notebook](../modules/indexes/vectorstores/examples/pgvector.ipynb)
