AnDB: Breaking Boundaries with an AI-Native Database for Universal Semantic Analysis
This addresses the challenge of integrating AI-driven tasks with traditional data management for users handling diverse data types, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing AI-native and database technologies.
The paper tackles the problem of bridging the semantic gap between user queries and unstructured data by introducing AnDB, an AI-native database that supports unified semantic analysis across structured and unstructured data, enabling users to perform semantic queries using SQL-like statements without AI expertise.
In this demonstration, we present AnDB, an AI-native database that supports traditional OLTP workloads and innovative AI-driven tasks, enabling unified semantic analysis across structured and unstructured data. While structured data analytics is mature, challenges remain in bridging the semantic gap between user queries and unstructured data. AnDB addresses these issues by leveraging cutting-edge AI-native technologies, allowing users to perform semantic queries using intuitive SQL-like statements without requiring AI expertise. This approach eliminates the ambiguity of traditional text-to-SQL systems and provides a seamless end-to-end optimization for analyzing all data types. AnDB automates query processing by generating multiple execution plans and selecting the optimal one through its optimizer, which balances accuracy, execution time, and financial cost based on user policies and internal optimizing mechanisms. AnDB future-proofs data management infrastructure, empowering users to effectively and efficiently harness the full potential of all kinds of data without starting from scratch.
