I have only scanned the article briefly and I would like say that please check the security implications of enabling xp_cmdshell with whoever is responsible for the the security of your IT department, it is a very powerful command and a lot of people won't want it enabled.Regards,
Stefan.
For this reason, I limit the usage to desktop R and ODBC R/W connections to the Database servers.
