About Data Mining APIs

Oracle Data Miner is an application based on the Data Mining APIs in Oracle Database.

The APIs are public and can be used directly for application development. The APIs are summarized in the following topics:

• Data Mining PL/SQL Packages
  PL/SQL APIs manipulate mining models, which are database schema objects.
• Data Mining SQL Scoring Functions
  A set of specialized SQL functions provides the primary mechanism for scoring data in Oracle Data Mining. When called as single-row functions, the SQL Data Mining functions apply a user-supplied mining model to each row of input data.
• Data Mining Data Dictionary Views
  The data dictionary views store information about mining models in the Oracle Database system catalog. All views are available for DBA, USER, and ALL access.
