Just a slight technical note -- Ben gave you a good answer already, imo.

The note is: R is Turing complete, which mean that *anything* any
language can do, R could be programmed to do also. The point is what
can be done well in R and what can be done (often much) better with
other tools, as Ben explained.

Cheers,
Bert

That is, whatever can be done by SQL, like subsetting and filtering of data sets, can also be done by R. What's, then, the advantage of SQL?  It is OK if you tag this question as offtopic, but I could'nt find any info on the web. Can you please refer me to some online resources that shed some light on this? Finally, how does SQL complement R? Are both dependent?
