Creating a data mining user A data mining user is a canonical user, but with a few

more privileges than usual. As ‘system’ create a canonical user:

CREATE USER dmuser1 IDENTIFIED BY dmpswDEFAULT TABLESPACE usersTEMPORARY TABLESPACE tempQUOTA UNLIMITED on users;

Then, grant privileges to this user: GRANT create procedure to DMUSER1; GRANT create session to DMUSER1; GRANT create table to DMUSER1; GRANT create sequence to DMUSER1; GRANT create view to DMUSER1; GRANT create job to DMUSER1; GRANT create type to DMUSER1; GRANT create synonym to DMUSER1; GRANT execute on ctxsys.ctx_ddl to DMUSER1;

Now, DMUSER1 is ready to perform data mining tasks.

‘sh’ user To use the examples

you have to activate the sh user. There are the

example data

Created during ORACLE installation.

However, it’s not active.

To activate: Open Oracle Enterprise Manager. Login as ‘system’. Go to ‘administration’ tab, then click on users, find the ‘sh’ user and activate it.

4

Using the data of ‘sh’ Connect (login) as sh and grant SELECT privilege to

dmuser1 for these tables: COUNTRIES CUSTOMERS PRODUCTS SUPPLEMENTARY_DEMOGRAPHICS SALES

In other words execute: GRANT SELECT ON customers TO dmuser1; GRANT SELECT ON sales TO dmuser1; GRANT SELECT ON products TO dmuser1; GRANT SELECT ON supplementary_demographics TO

dmuser1; GRANT SELECT ON countries TO dmuser1;

Now, dmuser1 is able to execute SELECT on these tables, and create views on them.

DMUSER1: Creating views on ‘sh’ data

CREATE VIEW mining_data_build_v ASSELECT a.CUST_ID, a.CUST_GENDER, 2003-a.CUST_YEAR_OF_BIRTH AGE, a.CUST_MARITAL_STATUS, c.COUNTRY_NAME,

a.CUST_INCOME_LEVEL, b.EDUCATION, b.OCCUPATION, b.HOUSEHOLD_SIZE, b.YRS_RESIDENCE, b.AFFINITY_CARD, b.BULK_PACK_DISKETTES, b.FLAT_PANEL_MONITOR, b.HOME_THEATER_PACKAGE, b.BOOKKEEPING_APPLICATION, b.PRINTER_SUPPLIES, b.Y_BOX_GAMES, b.OS_DOC_SET_KANJIFROM sh.customers a, sh.supplementary_demographics b,

sh.countries cWHERE a.CUST_ID = b.CUST_ID AND a.country_id = c.country_id AND a.cust_id between 101501 and 103000;

You can find other view creation statements in dmsh.sql that will be in the web.

An electronics store chain wants to distribute a discount card to its customers, but only to those customers who are expected to increase their buying (and thus the company’s revenue) because of this card.

A test campaign was run on a sample of customers and the results were compiled into a table containing the customer demographics, purchasing patterns, and a measure of revenue produced by each customer.
