A second Step into Machine Learning. How to read data in R language from SQL Server


Hi Guys,
I wish you an happy Easter!

Today we will do another little step into the Machine Learning.
Some weeks ago infact we talk about how to install Machine Learning services in SQL Server.
I suggest to read the post you can find here: From SQLServer to ML, a first little step into machine learning
This is because today we will see how to read data from SQL database with the R language.

Read data in R language

If you remember, in the previuos post we have enabled the execution of external scripts.
Infact we will use external scripts in order to read data from SQL Server.

The procedure sp_execute_external_script have some parameters that are:
  • The language in this case you must specify "R"
  • Command sent to R Runtime
  • The input_data_1query data result
  • Schema of the table returned

For the example below we will read data from our ORDTES table:

       
USE MASTER

EXECUTE sp_execute_external_script 
     @language = N'R'
    , @script = N'OutputDataSet <- InputDataSet;'
    , @input_data_1 = N'SELECT ID FROM ECO.DBO.ORDTES;'
WITH RESULT SETS((ID INT NOT NULL));

The next step!

Now we have seen how to read data from a SQL Server Database.
The next step will be more and more interesting.
We will see how to create and train a model.

I hope to see you soon for the next parts!

SQL Server, execution plan and the lazy spool (clearly explained)

Image
Hi Guys, Welcome back! In one of the last posts we talked about Table Spool . We had explained what Spool are for by telling the somewhat curious story of the halloween problem . Here we specifically talked about a type of spool called Eager Spool   You can look to the execution plan below where the eager Spool is used to avoid the halloween problem in classic query of the "salary increase".. i suggest Well, if the story of the eager spool intrigued you, today instead we will speak about another type of Spool, the Lazy Spool . The Lazy spool Let's take a small step back. So, what is a Spool operation?  As we have already understood a spool operation is simply a temporary storage of data . Data are read from a source table and stored inside a worktable in the Tempdb database . While an Eager Spool is used to prevent the Halloween problem, the Lazy Spool is instead used to store data that will later be needed again when running a query . So, when a Lazy spool is used?  ...

SQL Server, datetime vs. datetime2

Image
Hi guys, This time, in this post we will speak about datetime and datetime2 datatypes. We will talk about the pros and cons. We will talk about all the differences between the two types of data. Write me in the comments which type of data do you prefer between the two. Enjoy the reading!     Datetime Vs. Datetime2 First of all, it must be said that the datatype datetime is certainly the best known native format for storing a date in SQL Server. However, Microsoft has also been introducing a new type of data for many years now, also used to manage dates. It is in fact from SQL server 2008 that it is present in datetime2 data type. This "new" type of data was born primarily to have higher accuracy . Let's in fact talk about ... precision ! Datetime Certainly the datetime data type is not very precise and certainly there are many cases in which its precision is simply not sufficient. Let's see it with an example. Open the SQL Management studio (SSMS) and write the fo...

La clausola NOLOCK. Approfondiamo e facciamo chiarezza!

Image
Ehi ragazzi! La domanda è di quelle importanti! Siete pronti per scoprire tutto ma proprio tutto sulla clausola NOLOCK?   Se la riposta è si, allora seguitemi! Oggi ne spiegheremo il funzionamento in maniera approfondita. Faremo una introduzione al concetto di tipi di LOCK Ed infine vedremo come mai una SELECT ne può bloccare un'altra. Non vi nascondo che il motivo di questo articolo è fare chiarezza. Su questo argomento si sentono spesso affermazioni “curiose” ma tra le tante questa è la prima: “ uso la SELECT con l’opzione WITH(LOCK) così non blocco le altre tabelle ”.   Ma, è proprio vero quanto affermato? Beh oggi facciamo il punto!   Buona lettura!     La clausola NOLOCK Diciamo subito per iniziare che cos’è la NOLOCK. NOLOCK è il nome di una clausola che è possibile specificare all’interno di uno statement di tipo SELECT utilizzando la seguente sintassi: SELECT * FROM TABELLA WITH (NOLOCK) Si noti che non possiamo ...
