If you have been using Oracle Data Miner to develop your data mining workflows and models, at some point you will want to move away from the tool and start using the ODM APIs.
Oracle Data Mining provides a PL/SQL API and a Java API for creating supervised and unsupervised data mining models. The two APIs are fully interoperable, so that a model can be created with one API and then modified or applied using the other API.
I will cover the Java APIs in a later post, so watch out for that.
To help you get started with using the APIs there are a number of demo PL/SQL programs available. These were available as part of the the pre-11.2g version of the tool. But they don’t seem to packaged up with the 11.2 (SQL Developer 3) application.
The following table gives a list of the PL/SQL demo programs that are available. Although these were part of the pre-11.2g tool, they still seem to work on your 11.2g database.
You can download a zip of these files from here.
The sample PL/SQL programs illustrate each of the algorithms supported by Oracle Data Mining. They include examples of data transformations appropriate for each algorithm.
I will be exploring the main APIs, how to set them up, the parameters, etc., over the next few weeks, so check back for these posts.
