Comment on In-database R coming to SQL Server 2016

Comments

just so you know, is already in SAP HANA... is nice to see that programming languages are part of a database a not just an extension

It's not actually in the database. It's a lousy implementation which does not use the distributed nature of HANA. You fetch the data first and then you do your analyses in R which is hosted near the DB. If you want parallel processing in R, you're on your own.
