• <array2>: The second vector (array(real) or array(double precision)).

Returns a double-precision value that represents the dot product of the two vectors.

• Both input arrays must be of the same element type and length.
• If any element is NULL, the result is NULL.
• For optimal performance, use array definitions with non-nullable elements such as array(real not null).
