Abstract: SQL Server 2025 extends your existing data platform with a native vector search, enabling AI-powered similarity queries directly within the database. New vector data types and built-in index structures allow you to efficiently store and query high-dimensional embeddings (e.g., from NLP or image models). Thanks to optimized Approximate Nearest Neighbor algorithms, you’ll achieve millisecond-level response times—even with millions of vectors.

This feature unlocks a variety of use cases: you can implement real-time personalized recommendations for e-commerce, semantic analytics on text or image data, or anomaly-based security scans without the need for an external search infrastructure. Seamless integration with Azure hybrid scenarios also lets you scale your vector searches both on-premises and in the cloud. All of this runs on your proven SQL platform, complete with role-based access control and Always Encrypted support for sensitive embeddings.
