Description
#### Read me
Read this first before creating an issue:
- do not use this issue tracker to ask questions, instead use one of these [channels](https://vertx.io/community/). Questions will likely be closed without notice.
- you shall create a feature request only when it is general purpose enough.
- make sure that the feature is not already
#### Describe the feature
With vector search becoming available in most RDBMS, can we get native support for the vector embedding types in mysql, postgres, oracle, maria, etc?
#### Use cases
Right now, we have to pull down the embedding as a string type which adds unnecessary overhead and mem copies for the conversions back and forth.
Also, writing the embedding is extremely problematic since there doesn't appear a way to package it in a way that will work across all DBs. I.e. you have to use a dialect specific `ColumnTransformer` to wrap the string in `STRING_TO_VECTOR`, `VEC_FromText`, or `''::vector` for postgres.
