I&#x27;m confused why one needs R or similar software to analyze complex data. Is there anything that can be done with R but not SQL?<p>For instance, I think R is used by biologists, http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.genomebiology.com&#x2F;2004&#x2F;5&#x2F;10&#x2F;R80 can the same analysis be done with SQL?
Ask HN: Is R an alternative to SQL?
