Be good to see a second article doing this in SQL Server
If any of you would like to see it, encourage Thomas to write more.

Hi Steve, I crafted some scripts and tried an explanation, see my previous post.
Do you still think a second article would be justified...? :Whistling:

I intend to try out your scripts in the next few days & will provide feedback when I do ... I'm sure that there are a lot of people here who would be interested in such an article.

Good work! I am quite an enthusiast of both F1 and SQL Server. Guess which one pays the bills. My company does use R, yet I have not had the opportunity to work myself into an R project. Looking forward to future articles.
I happened to be quite pleased that the topic was in fact based around Formula 1. Then, a bit disappointed that you did not somehow uncover share a mountain of F1 telemetry data to play with.

Thanks Ken, I would assume the telemetry data is not officially disclosed by the teams.
But I may have someone I could ask about this...

Yes, not everyone will read this discussion

This is an extremely interesting topic to me, thanks again! Another article could also illustrate pros and cons of the 2 approaches and any limitations the SSMS approach might have.

OK guys, I hear you...
(Now I hope someone reads to page 2 in this thread. )

Thomas, I am sorry to say that I fell at the first hurdle. This part

And there are some caveats: you have to install the needed R packages into your SQL Server R service first (use my installpkg script). But in order to accomplish that, you have to have write permissions to the library folder, in my case of a standard installation, that is "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL14.MSSQLSERVER\R_SERVICES\library". I'll leave it up to you to sort that out.

Did not work out for me. I got a permissions error, despite the fact that I am a local admin on the SQL machine I am working on.

Duh, I'm afraid I am not enough of a Windows admin to be really helpful here. So, maybe it's the (service) account you run your SQL instance with that needs permissions, but I am only guessing...
