Description

@shaohuasong-fang

When running the VectorDB benchmark (VectorDBBench) against PgVector on webui, the test case fails with the error:
access method "HNSW" does not exist
This occurs during the performance test for the 1M dataset with 768-dimensional vectors, specifically when the benchmark attempts to optimize (create) an HNSW index. The error results in the termination of the benchmark run.
