Do some munging in database (SQL) • Get results in R (actually call SQL from R) • Data munging, datavis, modeling (e.g. ML) in R (knitr) Now experimenting: • Get all data you need in R in RAM (~100 GB) • Data munging with dplyr, rest the same [RAM cheap, large tables from db now fit in RAM, R/dplyr makes less copies (less RAM), dplyr/data.table fast]
