High Priority: This is a critical need. We want to run AI/vector workloads on our primary transactional data without relying on a separate database or a specialized analytics add-on.

Medium Priority: This would be a valuable feature for future projects. It would allow us to innovate on our core database, but it's not an immediate requirement.79%

Low Priority: This is a nice-to-have, but not essential. Our primary focus for MySQL remains on its traditional OLTP performance and stability.7%

Not a Priority: This is not a good fit for MySQL. We believe vector workloads are fundamentally different and are best handled by a dedicated system, keeping our core MySQL lean.14%

Unsure / Need More Information: We are not yet clear on the performance, security, or operational impact of integrating this capability into our core transactional engine.
