A new SQL Server 2025 feature lets organizations run vector-based semantic searches on their own data, connecting to local or cloud-hosted AI models without relying on massive general-purpose LLMs.

Data analysts and admins can pre-build Data Blocks using Sigma's visual interface in minutes or use standard SQL, eliminating the need to learn proprietary coding languages.

Microsoft announced a preview of SQL Server 2025 with native vector support, improved security, performance, and Azure integration.
