We are building Sclera, an extensible SQL engine that enables you to push your analytics operations into a SQL query. The idea is to tame the code complexity through a declarative interface to analytics libraries. You can add your own libraries using the Sclera Extensions SDK. http://www.scleradb.com/doc/sdk/sdkintro

From the FAQ: http://www.scleradb.com/doc/info/faq#i-am-an-analytics-consu... why-do-i-need-sclera > Specifically, Sclera separates the analytics logic from the processing and data access. The analytics logic is specified declaratively as SQL queries with Sclera’s analytics extensions. This is just a few lines of code, which can be changed easily. The analytics libraries, database systems and external data sources form their own modules and are separated from the analytics logic. The analytics queries are compiled by Sclera into optimized workflows that dynamically tie everything together.
