FAQs

What are the key benefits of using MyScaleDB over other vector databases?

MyScaleDB offers full SQL compatibility, unifying structured data, vector, and full-text search into one system. It provides superior performance and cost-effectiveness compared to specialized vector databases, and better accuracy and speed for structured and vector joint queries than integrated solutions like pgvector or ElasticSearch.

Can I try MyScaleDB for free?

Yes, MyScaleDB is open-source and can be self-hosted using Docker. Additionally, MyScale Cloud offers a free pod supporting up to 5 million 768D vectors, allowing users to experience the managed service without initial cost.

How does MyScaleDB handle filtered searches for AI applications?

MyScaleDB leverages ClickHouse's columnar storage and pre-filtering capabilities to ensure high accuracy and performance in filtered searches. This involves efficiently filtering data by other attributes before performing vector search on the remaining dataset, which is crucial for improved RAG accuracy.
