In each OREdm R model object, the slot name (or fit.name) is the name of the underlying Oracle Data Mining model generated by the OREdm function. While the R model exists, the Oracle Data Mining model name can be used to access the Oracle Data Mining model through other interfaces, including:
Oracle Data Miner
Any SQL interface, such as SQL*Plus or SQL Developer
In particular, the models can be used with the Oracle Data Mining SQL prediction functions.
With Oracle Data Miner you can do the following:
Get a list of available models
Use model viewers to inspect model details
Score appropriately transformed data
Note:
Any transformations performed in the R space are not carried over into Oracle Data Miner or SQL scoring.
Users can also get a list of models using SQL for inspecting model details or for scoring appropriately transformed data.
Models built using OREdm functions are transient objects; they do not persist past the R session in which they were built unless they are explicitly saved in an Oracle R Enterprise datastore. Oracle Data Mining models built using Data Miner or SQL, on the other hand, exist until they are explicitly dropped.
Model objects can be saved or persisted, as described in "Saving and Managing R Objects in the Database". Saving a model object generated by an OREdm function allows it to exist across R sessions and keeps the corresponding Oracle Data Mining object in place. While the OREdm model exists, you can export and import it; then you can use it apart from the Oracle R Enterprise R object existence.
