It's Mat (@cevianNY) from @TigerDatabase again. This week I am announcing a new open-source tool for evaluating and improving LLM-based text-to-SQL systems for PostgreSQL. We built this because in developing the semantic catalog text-to-SQL tool I discussed last week, we thought…
LLMs are becoming new users of the database. But unlike human users, it’s not enough to ask “did the query run?” We need ways to evaluate how well they interact with our data.
Over the past few months, our team built an internal library to better understand text-to-SQL…
Stop paying the OpenAI tax. The best AI devtools are actually open-source, free to use, and give you full control over your data and privacy.
While proprietary AI dominated early headlines, the true revolution is happening in open source - where a flourishing ecosystem of…
Engineer: "Should we upgrade to the latest OpenAI model? It's cheaper and performs better on benchmarks."
Tech lead: "We should explore it, but re-embedding all our data is too much work right now. Let's revisit next month."
Engineer: "Hold my beer..."
With pgai Vectorizer,…
One of the major challenges with building AI chat apps and agents powered by RAG is the complexity of creating, storing, and syncing embeddings with real-time source data.
If this isn't managed effectively, your AI app will likely generate outdated, inaccurate information…

Yesterday, we launched pgai Vectorizer, a tool that automates embedding generation directly from data stored in the database and keeps it synced as the…
Vector Databases should actually be Vector Indexes
Imagine if every time you inserted or updated a row, you had to reach out to an external system to update the associated B-trees. Each call risks failure, rate-limits, and throws in queuing, tracking, staleness handling, and…
🛑 Vector Databases Are the Wrong Abstraction. Here’s Why.
They treat embeddings as standalone data, disconnected from their source, leading to outdated embeddings, constant sync issues, and endless maintenance.
That’s why we built pgai Vectorizer for Postgres—so every engineer…
The original SQL paper (1974) really stands the test of time
CPUs were 20,000,000,000x more expensive per flop in 1974!
SQL is 50 years old: older than the Internet, hard disks, Linux, x86, and CMOS RAM;
yet SQL remains in service to people today, for the exact same use cases

VECTOR DATABASES ARE THE WRONG ABSTRACTION. Here’s a better way: introducing pgai Vectorizer, a new open-source PostgreSQL tool that automatically creates and syncs embeddings with source data, just like a database index.
