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?

b/c you don't want the management or learning curve overhead of a separate database for vectors than the one you're already using for transactions or metadata
