With the release of SQL Server 2025, Microsoft is firmly positioning its flagship database platform as an enterprise-ready AI solution. Having spent time with the preview builds and working with the feature set, I believe this release represents a significant opportunity for organizations to leverage AI capabilities and their existing investments in SQL Server infrastructure, skills, and processes.
While many cloud-native and niche vector databases have emerged to support AI workloads, SQL Server 2025 brings these capabilities to your existing operational data platform.
