Machine Learning in SQL -- it actually works!

Sometimes it is hard to believe that a world before ML existed. So many modern data analyses are built on top of ML techniques and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. However, not everyone is able to benefit from these vast advances, because using ML techniques mostly involves using Python, developing code, and understanding many new technologies. Especially when Big Data and distributed systems enter the game, things get messy. This is a problem that SQL query engines are trying to solve.
