dasini.net – Diary of a MySQL expert

In this latest post, the final part of my series on building an AI-powered search engine with HeatWave GenAI, I dive into enhancing AI-powered search by embedding full article content into HeatWave.

By cleaning HTML, chunking content, generating embeddings, and running semantic similarity searches directly within HeatWave, we unlock highly relevant, context-rich search results.
If you’re building smart search engines or working with RAG pipelines, you’ll find practical tips and SQL-powered techniques you can apply right away.

This series demonstrates the powerful capabilities of HeatWave GenAI for building sophisticated, in-database AI-driven search solutions. Check out the article to level up your understanding of semantic search!

In this part 2 we focused on enhancing search relevance. We introduced reranking techniques using weighted distances of titles and excerpts to refine initial search results. Then we delved into leveraging article summaries for more effective semantic search, utilizing HeatWave’s capability to execute JavaScript stored procedures for sanitizing HTML content and generating these summaries. Finally, we demonstrated how to create embeddings from these summaries and perform similarity searches, showcasing HeatWave GenAI’s power for advanced information retrieval directly within the database.

During the last 20 years MySQL has democratized the usage of transactional databases.
Now with MySQL HeatWave we are in the process of democratizing Analytics and Machine Learning.

With MySQL HeatWave,
valorizing your data has never been so easy!

In this article I will show you how easy it is to use the Machine Learning capabilities of MySQL HeatWave. We will use the famous Iris dataset and we’re going to build, train, deploy and explain a machine learning model within MySQL HeatWave using Apache Zeppelin.

In this article I will show you how to properly configure Apache Zeppelin in order to take advantage of the Analytics and Machine Learning capabilities of MySQL HeatWave the MySQL in-memory query accelerator.

In this article I will show you how to properly configure Apache Superset in order to take advantage of a high performance, in-memory query accelerator: MySQL HeatWave.

MySQL, the world’s most popular open source database, is available as a managed cloud service in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) under the name of MySQL Database Service (MDS).

This is the tenth episode of “Discovering MySQL Database Service“, a series of tutorials where I will show you, step by step, how to use MySQL Database Service and some other Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services.

In this episode, we’ll learn how to connect to our MySQL Database Service instance using the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Cloud Shell.
It provides a pre-authenticated Oracle Cloud Infrastructure CLI and preinstalled developer tools for easily managing Oracle Cloud resources.

MySQL, the world’s most popular open source database, is available as a managed cloud service in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) under the name of MySQL Database Service (MDS).

This is the ninth episode of “Discovering MySQL Database Service“, a series of tutorials where I will show you, step by step, how to use MySQL Database Service and some other Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services.

In this episode, we’ll learn how to connect to our MySQL Database Service instance using MySQL Workbench – a unified visual tool for database architects, developers, and DBAs that provides data modeling, SQL development, and comprehensive administration tools for server configuration, user administration, backup, and much more.

In the previous episode we’ve seen how to use an OCI Bastion session in order to provide a restricted and time-limited access to administer our MySQL instance.
One more step to our Discovering MySQL Database Service journey.

In this episode, we’ll learn how to connect to our MySQL Database Service instance using the fantastic MySQL Shell – an interactive Javascript, Python, or SQL interface supporting development and administration for the MySQL Server.

MySQL, the world’s most popular open source database, is available as a managed cloud service in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) under the name of MySQL Database Service (MDS).

This is the seventh episode of “Discovering MySQL Database Service“, a series of tutorials where I will show you, step by step, how to use MySQL Database Service and some other Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services.

In this episode, we’ll discover and use the OCI Bastion service to provide a restricted and time-limited access to administer our MySQL instance.
