+# Use R3.6 UDF's with Exasol 7.1.30 and later
+
+## Background
+
+The Script-Languages-Container was updated to version [8.1.0](https://github.com/exasol/script-languages-release/releases/tag/8.1.0) in Database v7.1.30. Release 8.1.0 included a major update for the Python and R languages compared to 6.0.0. For R we detected some performance drops in special circumstances: Newer versions of R have a higher memory consumption which can lead to throttling of the UDFs and decrease their performance. 
+Also, some R packages were removed. 
+In case, customers want to use the previous Script-Languages-Container [6.0.0](https://github.com/exasol/script-languages-release/releases/tag/6.0.0), they can follow the steps described in this document. Alternatively, if the customer experiences performance drops with R UDF's, [limiting the number](https://docs.exasol.com/db/latest/database_concepts/udf_scripts/udf_instance_limit.htm) of UDF instances might avoid this problem.
+
+⚠️These script language containers are provided as is and are not maintained anymore.
+
+## Pre-update Check
+
+ⓘ This script will detect most occurrences of R and Python2 usage in UDFs. We cannot guarantee that all occurrences are detected.
+
+See [pre_update_check.sql](./resources/pre_update_check.sql)
+
+
+## Update From 7.1.x To 7.1.30 or newer
+
+To use Python 2.7 or R3.4 with UDFs after updating from Exasol 7.1.x to Exasol 7.1.30 or later you need to change the SCRIPT_LANGUAGES parameter to activate a script language container that supports Python 2.7/R3.4. The new parameter value can be generated automatically or manually.
+
+### Automatic generation of the new SCRIPT_LANGUAGES parameter value
+
+1. Get the current value of the SCRIPT_LANGUAGES parameter and save the output in case you need to restore it.
+
+See [get_original_script_languages_parameter.sql](./resources/get_original_script_languages_parameter.sql)
+
+Expected result for an Exasol 7.1.20 database or later (the example shows the default values - actual values may be different if the parameter has been changed):
+```sql
+ALTER SYSTEM SET SCRIPT_LANGUAGES='R=builtin_r JAVA=builtin_java PYTHON3=builtin_python3';
+```
+Expected result for an Exasol 7.1.19 database or lower (the example shows the default values - actual values may be different if the parameter has been changed):
+```sql
+ALTER SYSTEM SET SCRIPT_LANGUAGES='PYTHON=builtin_python R=builtin_r JAVA=builtin_java PYTHON3=builtin_python3';
+```
+
+2. Run the following query before updating to 7.1.30:
+
+See [construct_alter_system_command_before_update.sql](./resources/construct_alter_system_command_before_update.sql)
+
+3. Run the ALTER SYSTEM statement returned by the query. For example:
+
+```sql
+ALTER SYSTEM SET SCRIPT_LANGUAGES='JAVA=builtin_java PYTHON3=builtin_python3 R=localzmq+protobuf:///bfsdefault/default/EXAClusterOS/ScriptLanguages-standard-EXASOL-7.1.0-slc-v6.0.0-VYP23K36/?lang=r#/buckets/bfsdefault/default/EXAClusterOS/ScriptLanguages-standard-EXASOL-7.1.0-slc-v6.0.0-VYP23K36/exaudf/exaudfclient_py3';
+```
+ⓘ We recommend that you test parameter changes using ALTER SESSION before making system-wide changes using ALTER SYSTEM.
+
+### Manual generation of the new SCRIPT_LANGUAGES parameter value
+
+1. Get the current value of the SCRIPT_LANGUAGES parameter and save the output in case you need to restore it.
+
+See [get_original_script_languages_parameter.sql](./resources/get_original_script_languages_parameter.sql)
+
+2. Using the output from the query in the previous step, replace:
+- `builtin_r` with `localzmq+protobuf:///bfsdefault/default/EXAClusterOS/<container_name>/?lang=r#/buckets/bfsdefault/default/EXAClusterOS/<container_name>/exaudf/exaudfclient_py3`
+- `builtin_python` with `localzmq+protobuf:///bfsdefault/default/EXAClusterOS/<container_name>/?lang=r#/buckets/bfsdefault/default/EXAClusterOS/<container_name>/exaudf/exaudfclient` (in case you need Python2 in UDF's)
+
+Replace <container_name> in this string with the following value depending on which version you are upgrading from:
+
+| Exasol DB Min Version        | Exasol DB Max Version            | Container Name                                           |
+|:-----------------------------|:---------------------------------|:---------------------------------------------------------|
+|  7.1.20                   | 7.1.29	                       |ScriptLanguages-standard-EXASOL-7.1.0-slc-v6.0.0-VYP23K36 |
+|  7.1.7                    | 7.1.19	                       |ScriptLanguages-standard-EXASOL-7.1.0-slc-v4.0.0-CM4RWW6R |
+|  7.1.0                    | 7.1.6	                           |ScriptLanguages-release-standard-exasol-7.1.0-1.1.0       |
+
+ⓘ If you already had updated the `SCRIPT_LANGUAGES` parameter during a previous update, following steps in https://docs.exasol.com/db/7.1/database_concepts/udf_scripts/python2_extended_use.htm, leave the value for Python2 unchanged.
+
+3. Run the updated ALTER SYSTEM statement after changing the values as described in the previous step. For example:
+```sql
+ALTER SYSTEM SET SCRIPT_LANGUAGES='JAVA=builtin_java PYTHON3=builtin_python3 R=localzmq+protobuf:///bfsdefault/default/EXAClusterOS/ScriptLanguages-standard-EXASOL-7.1.0-slc-v6.0.0-VYP23K36/?lang=r#/buckets/bfsdefault/default/EXAClusterOS/ScriptLanguages-standard-EXASOL-7.1.0-slc-v6.0.0-VYP23K36/exaudf/exaudfclient_py3 PYTHON=localzmq+protobuf:///bfsdefault/default/EXAClusterOS/ScriptLanguages-standard-EXASOL-7.1.0-slc-v4.0.0-CM4RWW6R/?lang=python#/buckets/bfsdefault/default/EXAClusterOS/ScriptLanguages-standard-EXASOL-7.1.0-slc-v4.0.0-CM4RWW6R/exaudf/exaudfclient';
+```
+ⓘ We recommend that you test parameter changes using ALTER SESSION before making system-wide changes using ALTER SYSTEM.
