Does R scripts are supported in Azure SQL database single instance?

Question

As per the URL https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/data-guide/technology-choices/r-developers-guide we can see that R scripts are supported with the below command running in managed instance
sp_configure 'external scripts enabled', 1;
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE;

I need R scripts to be run in Azure SQL Database. Could you please help us with the steps please

Hi @kks8589 , welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

Currently R language support is not present for Azure SQL Database(Paas). The document provided by you mentions the same.

To use R scripts, we can either go with Azure SQL Managed Instance or we can go with SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines.

Please let me know if this helps.
