Data Mining with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - Technical Reference - reference book - CD, English

Data Mining with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Technical Reference by Claude Seidman will help you to learn how to turn mountains of raw data into useful information. The amount of information stored in corporate databases is exploding exponentially. Data mining - finding meaningful patterns in all that data - can give any organization a competitive advantage. This book is the in-depth reference from Microsoft for anyone who wants to take full advantage of the powerful data-mining features in SQL Server 2000. Among the topics discussed are SQL server 2000 architecture and data mining methods. This guide examines the SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services architecture and shows how data mining fits into its complete suite of information-extraction technologies. Then it demonstrates how to structure and mine large databases with the algorithms included with SQL Server 2000 to find nuggets of useful information. It even shows how to create a practice data-mining model using data downloaded from a database. You will learn how data mining builds on the SQL Server 2000 relational database and its embedded online analytical processing (OLAP) engine, and how to choose the best data-mining method for the job.
