[dba-SQLServer] In-database R coming to SQL Server 2016

[Arthur Fuller]

Jim,

I agree. But the current situation requires that you first export the data
set from SQL Server or whatever DB is your choice, and then use R to
analyze the exported data. MS claims that implementing R in a sandbox
inside SQL would eliminate that middle step. So I've read, anyway.
