SPSS (Clementine) Supports Oracle Data Mining

SPSS Supports Oracle Data Mining : "Analytics software firm SPSS Inc has released a new version of its Clementine data mining workbench geared specially for Oracle Corp's 10g relational database system. Chicago, Illinois-based SPPS unveiled the product as a complement to Oracle 10g's predictive modeling capabilities, which are provided by the Oracle Data Mining component. Clementine 9.0 provides interfaces that tap directly into Oracle predictive models, which are constructed and scored within the core database. Oracle Data Mining supports a variety of data mining algorithms including Bayes and Vector Machines. These algorithms are surfaced as "nodes" in Clementine's interface and can be manipulated natively." Clementine was the first data mining tool that I used, back in my old Woolwich days, and at the time it was considered to be about the best "desktop data mining" tool you could get hold of. It'll be interesting to see whether this drives take-up of the Data Mining option.
