Preface

This manual discusses the basic concepts underlying Oracle Data Mining (ODM). Details of programming with the Java and PL/SQL interfaces are discussed in the Oracle Data Mining Application Developer's Guide.

Intended Audience

This manual is intended for anyone planning to use any of the ODM interfaces to do data mining in an Oracle Database. ODM has a graphical user interface (Oracle Data Miner) and programmatic interfaces for Java and PL/SQL.

Documentation Accessibility

Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible, with good usability, to the disabled community. To that end, our documentation includes features that make information available to users of assistive technology. This documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to facilitate access by the disabled community. Accessibility standards will continue to evolve over time, and Oracle is actively engaged with other market-leading technology vendors to address technical obstacles so that our documentation can be accessible to all of our customers. For more information, visit the Oracle Accessibility Program Web site at
