How would you prioritize adding native vector search capabilities directly to core MySQL storage engines (e.g., InnoDB)?
Note: This poll is specifically about vector search as a general-purpose feature in the core database, separate from specialized analytics engines like MySQL HeatWave.
High Priority: This is a critical need. We want to run AI/vector workloads on our primary transactional data without relying on a separate database or a specialized analytics add-on.7%
Medium Priority: This would be a valuable feature for future projects. It would allow us to innovate on our core database, but it's not an immediate requirement.61%
Low Priority: This is a nice-to-have, but not essential. Our primary focus for MySQL remains on its traditional OLTP performance and stability.18%
Not a Priority: This is not a good fit for MySQL. We believe vector workloads are fundamentally different and are best handled by a dedicated system, keeping our core MySQL lean.14%
Unsure / Need More Information: We are not yet clear on the performance, security, or operational impact of integrating this capability into our core transactional engine.
AI is automating jobs functions that span roles from lawyers, to scriptwriters, veterinarians, and radiologists. Yet in the world of data and analytics, many of us still seem to think that the creation and enforcement of data management and governance policies is beyond the capabilities of AI. I find this perspective entirely perplexing.
