# MyScale > SQL-compatible vector database for scalable AI applications with powerful vector search, full-text search, and metadata filtering capabilities. MyScale is a SQL-compatible vector database designed for building production-grade generative AI applications. It enables developers to perform fast vector search, text search, filtered search, and complex SQL-vector join queries using familiar SQL syntax. The platform combines structured and vector data management in a single system, making it ideal for RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) applications, chatbots, recommendation systems, and image search. - **MSTG Vector Engine** provides 3x the speed and 3x the cost savings compared to specialized vector databases, with optimized index building and performant metadata filter search capabilities. - **Full SQL Compatibility** allows developers to manage and query AI-related data within a single system, execute advanced SQL vector joint queries, and enable text-to-SQL translation for complex querying needs. - **Powerful Full-Text Search** includes BM25 for enhanced relevance ranking, configurable tokenizers for various languages, and a simple yet powerful query language. - **Enhanced RAG Effectiveness** combines vector and full-text search for thorough data retrieval, utilizes advanced metadata filtering for precise outcomes, and adapts to changing business requirements with flexible data modeling. - **Multiple Data Format Support** handles CSV, JSON, Parquet, and TSV file formats for easy data import and export. - **Comprehensive SDK Support** offers language SDKs for Python, JavaScript, Go, and Java, enabling seamless integration into existing development workflows. - **AI Stack Integrations** provides deep integration with OpenAI, LangChain, LlamaIndex, Dify, Hugging Face, Jina AI, DSPy, and other popular AI frameworks and tools. - **MyScale Telemetry** enables seamless LLM application observability for monitoring and debugging AI applications. - **Security and Compliance** features SQL-based RBAC, SOC 2 compliance, and ISO 27001 compliance for enterprise-grade security requirements.
