SQL/MX Support for Decision Support and
Data Mining
SQL/MX supports the traditional and Object-Relational Data Mining (ORDM)
approaches to data mining. An overview of these two approaches follows. For details,
see the SQL/MX Data Mining Guide.
Traditional Approach
Traditional decision support applications emphasize extracting information from the
database through queries. The database queries are typically made directly from a
workstation or PC. SQL/MX supports the use of off-the-shelf workstation and PC-based
client tools for database queries.
