Key Features of Oracle’s AI Vector Search
When adding AI features to your database, it’s essential to consider the need for increased capacity, especially if you’re using a database with 10 OCP CPUs. AI features often require running bigger queries, even with indexing and partitioning in place.
Oracle supports live updates for indexes, including IVF (Index for Vectors) indexes. Unlike other vector databases where indexes must be manually updated, Oracle’s indexes are automatically updated with each transaction, ensuring consistent application performance.
Oracle’s updated indexes allow for efficient data search across all timeframes, preventing full table scans and maintaining consistent performance, even for recent data.
With generative AI interfaces, customer support teams can easily access the latest policy updates without retraining. This simplifies support for dynamic environments, like e-commerce sites with frequently changing policies.
Oracle’s approach allows for integrating vector databases within the same environment as relational databases, enabling seamless operations like joins and optimized queries without the need to manage multiple servers or complex architectures. This keeps application architecture simple and adaptable to market demands.
