MariaDB Introduces Open-Source Vector Preview, Aiming to Become Default MySQL Option
Briefly

The vector search implementation is based on the industry standard HNSW algorithm and aims to make MariaDB a leader in the MySQL ecosystem.
Kaj Arnö emphasizes that MariaDB's vector search is open source, contrasting it with Oracle's MySQL Server, which limits features to its enterprise edition.
Peter Zaitsev highlights that MariaDB's early vector search project demonstrates its relevance to modern developers, raising questions about Oracle's commitment to open-source features.
Arnö states that they intend to support both MariaDB and MySQL server users by providing accessible open-source vector functionality.
