As the scale of enterprise AI operations continues to grow, having access to data is no longer enough. Enterprises now must have reliable, consistent and accurate access to data.
That’s a realm where distributed SQL database vendors play a key role, providing a replicated database platform that can be highly resilient and available. The latest update from Cockroach Labs is all about enabling vector search and agentic AI at distributed SQL scale. CockroachDB 25.2 is out today, promising a 41% efficiency gain, an AI-optimized vector index for distributed SQL scale, and core database improvements that improve both operations and security.
