Data Used to Build the Model

The data used to build the model must reside in an Oracle 10g Release 2 table or view.

Oracle Data Miner supports the following Oracle datatypes:

Attributes of type DATE are automatically converted to numbers before mining is performed by calculating the Julian date. For details, see Date Conversion.
