Will this be open sourced and be upstreamed to MySQL? Or will it always be Planetscale specific?

[osser]

It's already open source, because GPL requires it. It's unlikely to be accepted as an upstream contribution given that Oracle has their own Vector type that is only available in their MySQL cloud service. Don't expect it to show up in a standard Oracle MySQL community release.

Is that the case when they're only providing as a service rather than distributing it? And if it is, where's the code?

[factormeta]

Can it be put into MarianDB? Or has the two project diverged so much that is not possible now?

To be honest using MySQL the fact that it is owned by a corp is quite a concern ATM.

Well. Let's see how it turns out. I am hoping Vector Type will be available in community release in later 9.x version.

I have the same question. I have a small DB on Planetscale and happily pay 39 for it. IMO, Vector DB's are the next frontier. I can understand the tough decision for Planetscale, given that the cloud services can just offer it as a service and corner all value of an open source project.
