I just picked this up over on "Vulture Central" http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/02/16/r_sql_server_great_but_beware/ The author seems both pleased and not pleased. Mainly digging at R's use (or abuse) of memory being a cause of many failures. And the fact that is is "slow" (states Python runs 17x faster) due to being interpreted. Also, to me, it seems weird to run R within the data base server itself, rather than on a client using RODBC. -- "Irrigation of the land with seawater desalinated by fusion power is ancient.
