Abstract
A method and apparatus for mining data relationships from an integrated database and data-mining system are disclosed. A set of frequent 1-itemsets is generated using a group-by query on data transactions. From these frequent 1-itemsets and the transactions, frequent 2-itemsets are determined. A candidate set of (n+2)-itemsets are generated from the frequent 2-itemsets, where n=1. Frequent (n+2)-itemsets are determined from candidate set and the transaction table using a query operation. The candidate set and frequent (n+2)-itemset are generated for (n+1) until the candidate set is empty. Rules are then extracted from the union of the determined frequent itemsets.
