"Oracle has recently announced MySQL AI, a new set of AI-powered capabilities available exclusively in the MySQL Enterprise edition, targeting analytics and AI workloads in large deployments. Concerns are rising throughout the MySQL community over the future of the popular Community edition, amid fears of vendor lock-in and following recent internal layoffs. The new MySQL AI introduces vector store and search capabilities, enabling enterprises to build retrieval-augmented generation applications directly on MySQL without the need for separate vector databases."
"MySQL AI enables a number of on-premise agentic workflows such as financial fraud detection for bank transactions stored on your servers, monitoring of store inventory and forecasting demand for goods, travel bookings for customers, to name a few. You can develop AI applications accessing data from the MySQL database or file system without requiring data movement or complex integrations, with the option to migrate the same application to MySQL HeatWave in the cloud."
Oracle introduced MySQL AI as Enterprise-only capabilities aimed at analytics and AI workloads in large deployments. The offering adds an in-database vector store and search to build retrieval-augmented generation applications directly on MySQL without separate vector databases. MySQL AI integrates with leading large language models, provides AI-powered query acceleration, and uses in-database analytics to optimize workloads. Four core components include Generative AI for extracting contextually relevant information from local documents; Vector Engine for creating and storing vectors in InnoDB; AutoML for automating model training tasks; and NL2SQL for translating natural language into SQL queries. The Community edition faces concern over vendor lock-in and recent layoffs.
