Does R run in a sandbox in MonetDB/R?

7 Aug 2016

      MonetDB allows to create R functions that run embedded in the database.

For example, you can do

CREATE FUNCTION rapi00() RETURNS TABLE (d INTEGER) LANGUAGE R {
    seq(1,10);
};

Now, I need my users to create dynamically these user defined functions by
entering R statements on a screen; the application will create the
functions in the database and run them.

Problem is that R allows to run operating system level commands, such as

list.files(path=".")

or even

file.remove("some_file")

Will MonetDB allow these external interactions with the operating system,
or it runs in a sandbox?
