Abstract
A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for performing data mining applications in a massively parallel relational database management system. A scalable data mining function comprising an automated histogram bin data derivation assist function is instantiated and parameterized via an analytic application programming interface (API). The automated histogram bin data derivation assist function comprises a query that is performed directly within the relational database management system, wherein the automated histogram bin data derivation assist function derives a new data element in the relational database based on a relation of a particular value of another data element to that element's overall distribution in the relational database.
