Vector databases are designed to store, manage, and index massive quantities of high-dimensional vector data efficiently that can help different types of queries, such as nearest neighbor. In this episode of the #AzureEnblementShow, Uli, Eric and David discuss how vector databases convert data to integers, cover some of the use cases of vector databases, and the benefits of embedding. This is part one of a two-part series.
