This document discusses machine learning capabilities in SQL Server. It notes that SQL Server 2016 and above support R and Python for machine learning directly on the database. This allows modeling without moving data and leveraging database security. Stored procedures can operationalize models. SQL Server also supports high-performance predictive scoring using the PREDICT function on trained RevoScaleR/Python models. The document outlines how data scientists can develop models and application developers can operationalize them using stored procedures. It also discusses multi-platform options for machine learning on SQL Server including Microsoft R Server and SQL Server 2019 big data cluster capabilities.
