Pre-Release Version Of Oracle Data Miner Now On OTN
June 24th, 2004 by Mark Rittman
Well there you go. Only
the other day I was talking about there not being an application front-end
for Oracle Data Mining, and now Oracle go and release one. Oracle Data Miner is
a new end-user application for Oracle Data Mining 10g that has just been
made available on
OTN in a pre-release version.
"Oracle Data Miner is a graphical user interface for Oracle Data Mining
(Release 10.0 and above) that helps data analysts mine their Oracle data to
find valuable hidden information, patterns, and new insights. Data analysts
can mine data with Oracle Data Miner’s easy-to-use wizards that guide them
through the data preparation, data mining, model evaluation, and model scoring
process. As the data analyst transforms the data, builds models, and
interprets results, Oracle Data Miner can automatically generate code needed
to transform the data mining steps into an integrated data mining/BI
application. ODM 10.1.0.1 Code Generator JDeveloper extension generates Java
code from Oracle Data Miner models and results.With Oracle Data Miner and Oracle Data Mining, the data never leaves the
database: all data movement is eliminated. In addition, Oracle Data Miner and
Oracle Data Mining provide the security of the Oracle database.Oracle Data Miner requires Oracle Data Mining (ODM) 10.1.0.1."
It’s a 37MB download
and runs under Windows and Linux. You need the 10g version of Oracle Data Mining
and, like JDeveloper, it just unzips into it’s own directory on your local PC.
Here’s some screenshots:
