Unleashing the Power of Vector Search with Azure SQL Database

Talkat Øredev 2025 · 2025-11-05..11-07· [databases]
slides:none on file

Shows Azure SQL Database running built‑in vector search: creates a vector table with 1536‑dim embeddings, calls an external model via SP_INVOKE_EXTERNAL_REST_ENDPOINT to get embeddings, stores vectors, builds indexes and runs cosine distance queries and ANN, and wires a Python WebDriver scrape into the pipeline. Demo loads a resume PDF, computes similarities and returns ranked jobs (top result ~63% match), and the live demo mostly succeeds aside from a couple of ordinary demo hiccups.
