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...
