Microsoft has announced SQL Server 2025, positioning it as an enterprise AI-ready database. This release integrates AI capabilities directly into the SQL engine, enabling developers to execute vector searches and build retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) patterns within the database. The inclusion of a native vector type and vector index, powered by DiskANN technology, facilitates efficient similarity searches across extensive datasets.

The new version also introduces model management through T-SQL, allowing seamless integration with AI services such as Azure OpenAI and KServe. This feature provides administrators with control over model definitions and access permissions, enhancing the development of AI applications within the SQL Server environment.
