I don't know if it is still a thing, but if you are working with SAP HANA (in-memory database) there is a good chance you would like to learn R as they integrated it into their database.

Related: tidyverse's dbplyr let's you write tidyverse code querying almost any remote database - leveraging the DBs computation while writing code (almost) as you would for a local data frame. In my old job I got to a point where I would barely ever need to write sql anymore because of this. https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/dbplyr/vignettes/dbp...
