Vector Search in Oracle

AI Vector Search in Oracle Database is a new, transformative way to intelligently, efficiently, and accurately search business data by using AI techniques to search data by semantics, or meaning. With the inclusion of a new VECTOR data type, new approximate search indexes, and new SQL operators and extensions, enterprise companies can quickly and easily leverage AI Vector Search to build modern, generative AI applications in just a few lines of SQL. And with this simplicity comes power, as AI Vector Search is fully integrated with Oracle’s enterprise-grade functionality such as transactions and scale-out capabilities. This talk will focus on the technology behind Oracle AI Vector Search, with a deep dive into its underlying mechanics and overall benefits.
