Or you want a mix? I believe the recent surge in SQL usage comes from BigQuery and Athena and the likes. The main benefit of them is that they help you with distributing the workload over sometimes hundreds of CPUs. And you don't really have to think about it. And you are not restricted fitting all your data into your RAM memory. But sure, if you want to do a linear regression, it may be a bit clunky. But maybe you used SQL to retrieve the subset of the data you wanted? I am rather certain of one thing though. If I wanted to do it in SQL i would not use a proprietary keyword but construct it from SQL primitives.
