And In SQL Developers I am considering guys who also work in SSRS on daily basis. But still should have had done some R&D to know what R can give what SSRS can't give.
Strength of R is not in its graphics libraries, no matter how powerful they are.
Maybe not, but GGPlot in reports is pretty damn close. 🙂
Vivek: Being a T-SQL developer doesn't mean you only study SQL. You should have other tools in your toolbox, you should be at least familiar with R or Python, as well as Powershell or Bash (or other scripting/automation language) plus any other languages that are relevant for your areas of interest/work
Thanks Gail. I agree with you. And will definitely follow this statement. The reason I bring up this point is that I am going to join a new organization next month. And there, I will get a chance to learn C#. But I was also excited about R/Python also. I have educated some guys on T-SQL skills in last few months. And most of them didn't have any knowledge about SQL before they started their one to one classes with me. And they were also learning python/R in parallel to get job as Data Scientists. So, I was under impression that where the area of learning is expanding itself. Is it really easy to learn SQL for 2-3 months and get a job as Data Scientists with good compensation? Should I also start learning these languages also? And there are around 3 questions that I see in Question of the day are related to R language.

No one, and I think I know what I am talking about, no one gets a (decent) job as a data scientist after a 2-3 months training. You need a really good grasp of matrix algebra, just for starters. Then comes, IMO, an MSc level of knowledge of statistics. And then it comes to whether numbers really talk to you and you understand what they are saying.
Yes, the job pays well but not everyone can make it.
