You can't do this with MySQL!

  In my SQL course I am asked relatively often about how to do   things that cannot be done with MySQL easily:

  I take it for granted that declarative SQL is not welladapted    to do such things.

  What tools are used in addition to MySQL most often to do   such evaluations with MySQL? - SPSS? R? Perl? PHP?

  Is there such a thing as the famous software package that   everyone uses to do statistical evaluations involving   quantils and contingency tables based on MySQL as a database?

  Can we say that such evaluations are a part of OLAP   and that MySQL is intended to be used more for OLTP? Received on Sun Nov 22 2015 - 15:01:47 CET
