Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented system for performing data mining applications, comprising: (a) a computer having one or more data storage devices connected thereto, wherein a relational database is stored on one or more of the data storage devices; (b) a relational database management system, executed by the computer, for accessing the relational database stored on the data storage devices by executing Structured Query Language (SQL) statements; (c) an analytic application programming interface (API), executed by the computer, for generating one or more scalable data mining functions comprised of SQL statements for execution by the relational database management system, wherein the scalable data mining functions identify and interpret patterns in the relational database; and (d) one or more analytic algorithms, executed by the computer, for interfacing to the analytic API to generate the scalable data mining functions, wherein the scalable data mining functions process data collections stored in the relational database and produce results that are stored in the relational database.
