Thank you for the article. It is nice to know that this tool is available and it may be useful in some cases. However, I think Excel would be...

PostgreSQL has a very nice way to call R from within a user function. I may sound uncharitable but I wonder if this isn't on purpose to encourage Windows...

For those of us on the West Side of the Pond, last night we got to watch ("60 Minutes") the NSA cry crocodile tears over...

But we also need to look very closely with what we have and determine if the tools we used yesterday are able to manage horizontally scaled data...

Some time back (too long, alas) I presented a method for running R functions within the database engine (sql). Alas, this was done with Postgres and the PL/R extension....

(rather than duplicate that whole stream...)

As a matter of fact, I even think that the extent that "edit generators" are used to produce an app is orthogonal to the degree...

That's a sweeping generalisation of 'coders' (or perhaps more respectfully called software engineers or developers). Do you really have so little respect for...

Trolled? You're the one who reduced DBA to not even a guitarist!

Well, what can I say, but what I said originally: there are DBAs who rule the data...

If the analogy is between a software shop and a band then I wouldn't say DBA's are on stage. The sales reps and support are...
