 Oracle Data Mining distinguishes numerical, categorical, and unstructured (text) attributes.The product also provides utilities for data preparation steps prior to model building such as outlier treatment, discretization, normalization and binning (sorting in general speak)

Users can access Oracle Data Mining through Oracle Data Miner, a GUI client application that provides access to the data mining functions and structured templates (called Mining Activities) that automatically prescribe the order of operations, perform required data transformations, and set model parameters.The user interface also allows the automated generation of Java and/or SQL code associated with the data-mining activities.
