The PlanetScale vectors public beta

I work for another db vendor and we also have added vectors support. What’s crazy is that customers were not really asking for- just surfing the hype wave like everyone else. Why would someone store vectors in an SQL db rather than a dedicated vector db with support for native graph / vector semantics?

Are you asking why you did it?

For one thing, combining vector similarity ranking and traditional WHERE clause conditions in the same query is tremendously useful.

“This customer has called our support line 20 times in the past year, pop up the most relevant prior tickets to their current request.”
