External Scripts Enabled (server configuration option)

Applies to: SQL Server 2016 (13.x) and later Azure SQL Managed Instance

Remarks

You must enable the external script enabled option before you can execute an external script using the sp_execute_external_script procedure. Use sp_execute_external_script to execute scripts written in a supported language such as R or Python.
