rag-local-with-container

Answers whether a retrieval augmented generation prototype proved on the local Azure SQL Database container still holds in Azure SQL Database, and names what does not survive the move. Owns the offline loop, the local embedding model, and the parity claim. Use when someone asks to "prototype RAG offline with no cloud account", "use a local embedding model with SQL", "develop against the container and deploy to Azure SQL Database", or asks what has to be redone after the move; and when the engine refuses a local embedding endpoint, or a vector index and a security policy will not coexist. A plain request to build RAG on the container belongs to azuresql-db-rag; come here for the move. The cloud pipeline is rag-on-azure-sql, the type and the query vector-search-azure-sql, embedding in the engine embeddings-and-external-models, framework wiring langchain-and-llamaindex-on-azure-sql.
