When NOT to use awadb
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If your application requires a database that supports complex SQL queries, as AwaDB is designed specifically for embedding vectors and does not offer traditional SQL capabilities.
- When you need a database that runs natively on Windows without the need for Docker, as AwaDB's Windows support is through Docker deployment.
