This is thanks to sqlite-vec, a new vector search extension for SQLite written entirely in C and with no dependencies.
Vendors are eager to add vector search to their dbms products.
One prominent example is Postgres with pg_vector which we covered in "Turn PostgreSQL Into A Vector Store" and more recently Mariadb as examined in "MariaDB Introduces Vector Search". This begs the question of what's the rush for adding vetor support?
