️ Modeling Embeddings in Azure SQL and SQL Server
PostgreSQL, we've generally heard, is "good enough" for most intents and purposes.
We'd love to know what YOU think. What's stopped you from using #PostgreSQL in the past, and what solution did you choose instead? When have you opted for #Postgres where it turned out better than expected?
