SQL Python Error – ‘sp_execute_external_script’ is disabled on this instance of SQL Server. Use sp_configure ‘external scripts enabled’ to enable it.


 
You are running a Python script by using sp_execute_external_script SP but its throwing this error:
 

Msg 39023, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_execute_external_script, Line 1 [Batch Start Line 27]
‘sp_execute_external_script’ is disabled on this instance of SQL Server. Use sp_configure ‘external scripts enabled’ to enable it.

 

You can refer to my blog post on setting up ML with Python with SQL Server, link: https://sqlwithmanoj.com/2018/08/10/get-started-with-python-on-sql-server-run-python-with-t-sql-on-ssms/

This fix will also work with R support with SQL Server.
