We’re here, we’re open source, and we have RDBMS based Vector Search for you! With the release of MariaDB 11.6 Vector Preview, the MariaDB Server ecosystem can finally check out how the long-awaited Vector Search functionality of MariaDB Server works. The effort is a result of collaborative work by employees of MariaDB plc, MariaDB Foundation and contributors, particularly from Amazon AWS.
Previously on “MariaDB Vector”
If you’re new to Vector, this is what’s happened so far:
- We blogged a number of times about our view of where Gen AI belongs in MariaDB Server
- We showed a first demo in February at our FOSDEM Fringe Event
- We launched a project page on mariadb.org/projects/mariadb-vector/, containing a number of videos
- We went on stage at Intel Vision in London, with AI everywhere
- We blogged about Amazon’s take on Vectors and MariaDB, in “MariaDB is soon a vector database, too“
The main point: MariaDB Vector is ready for experimentation

We launched Red Hat UBI based Docker Official Images for MariaDB! These are available on Docker Hub with tags containing ubi including lts-ubi.
The MariaDB plc folks suggested this would be good for enterprise users. After dusting of an old prototype, jointly developing the image, a couple of requests for packages into the UBI repository, and running through our test suite for compatibility testing, there is now an image available for everyone that will be maintained.
Attention to the Red Hat Open Shift Certification Policy made some compliance changes to the UBI based MariaDB image.

MariaDB Server 11.4 will be a long-term support release, on top of our current plan.
Early February, we announced that we were adjusting the MariaDB Server release model. As part of that, we already announced our move towards a yearly LTS cycle. To get our current features earlier into broad use, we have decided to make an LTS now, to cater for the needs of MariaDB 11 users expecting a full five years of bug fixes in a release with a locked feature set.
The goal of this additional LTS is to encourage a broader adoption of MariaDB Server 11.4.
