 # pg350d

-You can easily generate a build for your own need in term of dimensions by editing this dockerfile.

 ## What is the problem again?
 
-The cube extension, which you'll use to perform operations on vectors, has a hard limit of 100 dimensions per vector.
-
-
-## But I can create vectors with more than 100 dimensions!
-
-Yup, I managed to do it too. With `INSERT` and `UPDATE`, the hard limit seems not to be properly checked.
-
-The problem happens (at least) when you try to import a dump. It will fail saying that you can't have
-vectors with more than 100 dimensions.
-
-If you are using 101+ dimensions vectors with postgres currently, know that you won't be able to restore
-your backups (and not upgrade postgres if you usually do so through dump/import) :)
-

-
-## Download
-
-The image dockerhub page is [here](https://hub.docker.com/r/oelmekki/pg350d/).
-
-To pull it:
-
-```
-docker pull oelmekki/pg350d:9.6
-```

+The cube extension, which you'll use to perform operations on vectors, has
+a hard limit of 100 dimensions per vector.
 
 ## Is it safe?
 
-Patching the hardcoded limit is [the recommended way in postgres doc](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/cube.html#AEN169535).
-
-I've been using it for several months on my main business, and didn't encounter any problem so far.
-
-
-## Variants
-
-If you want more than 350d and don't want to change it yourself, [@lisitsky made a 2000d variant](https://github.com/lisitsky/postgres-2kd).
+Patching the hardcoded limit is [the recommended way in postgres
+doc](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/cube.html#id-1.11.7.20.9).
 
+I've been using it for a few years in production, and didn't encounter any
+problem.
