Vector database

Also: Vector Store · Vektorspeicher

A database that stores embeddings and very quickly finds the entries closest in meaning.

Classic databases search for exact values. Vector databases instead answer the question “Which text passages are closest in meaning to this question?” – in milliseconds, even across millions of entries.

They are a core component of RAG systems. Besides specialised products, many established databases now also offer vector search.
