Unlocking the full potential of relational databases has long been our goal, thanks to the production readiness, rich feature set, and the ubiquity of SQL. However, it is widely assumed that relational databases cannot compete with the performance of specialized vector databases.
In this talk, we’re excited to reveal a groundbreaking achievement: for the very first time, a relational database poised to outshine even the most advanced specialized vector databases in vector performance. And the best part? It does so while preserving all the advantages of relational databases, including SQL. Join us to witness this paradigm-shifting moment in database technology.
