What you'll learn
RAG explained using database concepts you already understand
Retrieval explained as indexing and query planning - no beginner material.
Where retrieval quality actually breaks down in practice
The real-world failure points: chunking, ranking, and stale indexes.
Reason about chunking and indexing like a query
Make retrieval design decisions the way you'd tune a query plan.
Why this topic matters
If you already understand indexing, joins, and query planning, most RAG explanations are frustratingly high-level. This session skips the basics and explains retrieval-augmented generation in terms you already know.
