### AI overview

DiskANN vector indexing and search are now generally available in Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance with the always-up-to-date update policy, and SQL database in Microsoft Fabric. The index uses approximate nearest-neighbor search to find similar vectors efficiently as datasets grow, and can use SSD-backed storage to limit reliance on RAM. Applications can combine vector similarity search with relational data, filters, joins, security policies, and transactions.
