Abstract
A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for performing data mining applications in a relational database management system. An analytic algorithm for cluster analysis is performed by the computer. The analytic algorithm for cluster analysis includes SQL statements and programmatic iteration for finding one or more groupings in the data retrieved from the relational database management system and for identifying homogenous ones of the groupings as clusters. The analytic algorithm for cluster analysis creates at least one analytic model within an analytic logical data model from data residing in the relational database.
