  • SQL-based analytic algorithm for cluster analysis
    Patent number: 6816848
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for performing data mining applications in a relational database management system. An analytic algorithm for cluster analysis is performed by the computer. The analytic algorithm for cluster analysis includes SQL statements and programmatic iteration for finding one or more groupings in the data retrieved from the relational database management system and for identifying homogenous ones of the groupings as clusters. The analytic algorithm for cluster analysis creates at least one analytic model within an analytic logical data model from data residing in the relational database.
    Type: Grant

  • SQL-based analytic algorithm for clustering
    Patent number: 6772166
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for performing data mining applications in a relational database management system. An analytic algorithm for clustering is performed by the computer. The analytic algorithm for clustering includes SQL statements performed by the relational database management system for reducing data retrieved from the relational database in bulk, and programmatic iteration for operating on the reduced data to find clusters therein. The analytic algorithm for clustering creates at least one analytic model within the analytic logical data model from data residing in the relational database.

  • SQL-based analytic algorithms
    Patent number: 6687695
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for performing data mining applications in a relational database management system. At least one analytic algorithm (110) is performed by a computer directly against a relational database (116), wherein the analytic algorithm includes SQL statements performed by the relational database management system (114) and optional programmatic iteration, and the analytic algorithm creates at least one analytic model within an analytic logical data model from data residing in the relational database.
