What Is Oracle Data Mining?
Oracle Data Mining (ODM) embeds data mining within the Oracle database. There is no need to move data out of the database into files for analysis and then back from files into the database for storing. The data never leaves the database — the data, data preparation, model building, and model scoring results all remain in the database. This enables Oracle to provide an infrastructure for application developers to integrate data mining seamlessly with database applications. ODM is designed to support production data mining in the Oracle database. Production data mining is most appropriate for creating applications to solve problems such as customer relationship management, churn, etc., that is, any data mining problem for which you want to develop an application. ODM provides single-user milt-session access to models. Model building is either synchronous in the PL/SQL interface or asynchronous in the Java interface.
