What’s New With Machine Learning Services

So, when I read What’s new in SQL Server 2019 , I came across a lot of interesting “stuff”, but one thing that stood out was Java language programmability extensions . In essence, it allows us to execute Java code in SQL Server by using a pre-built Java language extension! The way it works is as with R and python; the code executes outside of the SQL Server engine, and you use sp_execute_external_script as the entry-point.

I haven’t had time to execute any Java code as of yet, but in the coming days, I definitely will drill into this. Something I noticed is that the architecture for SQL Server Machine Learning Services has changed (or had additions to it).
