4 Installing and Using the Demo Programs

A number of demo programs are available with Oracle Data Mining. These programs illustrate the many features of the PL/SQL API, the Data Mining SQL functions, the Java API, and the BLAST table functions.

The demo programs create a set of models in the database. You can experiment with these models using either the APIs or Oracle Data Miner. You can examine the sample source code, which includes numerous comments, to familiarize yourself with the Oracle Data Mining APIs, and you can create your own models by modifying the samples.

Requirements Checklist

Several installation and configuration steps must be completed before you can run the Data Mining demo programs. Many of these steps are explained in this chapter. Some steps, such as installing Oracle Database, are explained in other chapters of this manual.

Complete these steps before attempting to run the Data Mining demo programs:

Install Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) Enterprise Edition with the sample schemas, or obtain the connection information to an existing installation. See Chapter 1.
Obtain the demo programs by installing the Database Companion or by downloading from the Oracle Technology Network web site. See "Obtaining the Demo Programs".
Create a user ID for running the demo programs. Grant the necessary privileges to this user. See "Creating a Demo User" and "Granting Access Rights".
Populate the schema of the demo user with objects used by the demo programs. See "Populating the Schema"
To run the Java demos, check the requirements described in "Preparing to Run the Java Programs".
To run the BLAST demo, check the requirements described in "Preparing to Run the BLAST Demo".

Obtaining the Demo Programs

The Oracle Data Mining sample programs are provided with Oracle Database Enterprise Edition. They are also available for download from the Oracle Technology Network.

Downloading from OTN

You can download a zip file containing the demo programs and documentation from the Oracle Data Mining page on OTN. Use the following URL.

http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/odm/index.html

Extract the contents of the zip file, making sure to preserve the directory structure. The files will be copied to a directory called DATA MINING demos on your computer.

The zip file contains documentation similar to the information in this chapter. To access the documentation, open the file index.html in a browser.

Ensure that the SQL programs are located in a directory where you can access them using SQL*Plus. You may want to copy the Java programs to a Java development environment such as jDeveloper.

Installing Oracle Database Companion

The Database Companion installation process copies the Oracle Data Mining demo programs, along with examples and demos of other database features, to the \RDBMS\demo subdirectory under ORACLE_HOME.

Note:

In Oracle Database 10.1, Data Mining was installed in ORACLE_HOME\dm, and the Data Mining demo programs were installed in ORACLE_HOME\dm\demo\sample.

In Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2), Data Mining is installed in the ORACLE_HOME\RDBMS directory, and the Data Mining demo programs are installed in ORACLE_HOME\RDBMS\demo.

To install the Database Companion on a Windows platform, take these steps:

From the Companion installation directory, run SETUP.EXE.

Oracle Universal Installer opens and displays the Welcome page. Click Next to advance to each page.
On the Select a Product to Install page, select Oracle Database 10g Products 10.2.0.0.0.
On the Specify Home Details page, select the Oracle home in which you installed Oracle Database 10g Release 2. Do not rely on the default setting to be correct.
On the Product-Specific Prerequisite Checks page, verify that all checks succeeded. If any checks failed, then you must correct the problem before proceeding.
On the Summary page, review your previous choices, then click Install.
On the End of Installation page, confirm that the installation was successful.

Verifying the Installation

You can find the SQL demos by searching for dm*.sql in ORACLE_HOME\RDBMS\demo. You can find the Java demos by searching for dm*.java.

On a Windows platform, you can use Windows File Manager to list the SQL programs as follows.

Windows File Manager: list data mining SQL demo programs

You can use Windows File Manager to list the Java programs as follows.

Windows File Manager: list data mining Java demo programs

Creating a Demo User

Data Mining demo users require several database permissions, as well as SELECT access to tables in the SH sample schema. Users that will primarily use the demo programs, and not be mining large data sets, do not need personal tablespaces.

Note:

In Oracle Database 10.1, a data mining user account, called DMUSER, was provided with the software. In Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2), DMUSER is no longer provided; you must create your own data mining user accounts.

To create a demo user for Oracle Data Mining, take these steps:

Create a user name and password.
Run the dmshgrants script to grant the necessary privileges to the user.
Run the dmsh script to populate the user's schema with objects that support the demo programs.

Using SQL*Plus to Create the User

To create the user in SQL*Plus, log in as the SYSTEM user and type a command like the following:

CREATE USER dmuser IDENTIFIED BY dmpsw
     DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
     TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp
     QUOTA UNLIMITED on users;

This command creates the user dmuser with the password dmpsw. It provides default access to two tablespaces shared by several other sample schemas.

Using Enterprise Manager to Create the User

To create the user in Enterprise Manager, follow steps like these:

Open Enterprise Manager and log in as the SYSTEM user.
On the Administration page, choose Users.
On the Users page, click the Create button.
On the Create Users page, provide information like this.

You can use the Quota page to grant unlimited quota to the USERS schema.

Granting Access Rights

The dmshgrants script grants database privileges to a demo user. These privileges are the same as those listed in "Access Rights".

The dmshgrants script is provided by the Database Companion installation. You can locate it in the \rdbms\demo subdirectory of ORACLE_HOME. The dmshgrants script is also included with the Data Mining demos in the zip file you can download from OTN.

In addition to granting database privileges, dmshgrants grants SELECT rights on these tables in the SH schema:

COUNTRIES
CUSTOMERS
PRODUCTS
SUPPLEMENTARY_DEMOGRAPHICS
SALES

For text mining, dmshgrants grants access rights to an Oracle Text package:

EXECUTE ON ctxsys.ctx_ddl

If you do not have access to dmshgrants, you can set permissions using the SQL GRANT command or Enterprise Manager Database Control.

Run DMSHGRANTS

The following command, executed in SQL*Plus on a Windows platform, passes two arguments to dmshgrants: The password for the SH user (shpsw in this case) and the user name receiving the access rights (dmuser).

@%ORACLE_HOME%\rdbms\demo\dmshgrants shpsw dmuser

On Linux, this is the equivalent command:

@$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/dmshgrants shpsw dmuser

Populating the Schema

The dmsh script populates the schema of the demo user with tables and views that reference the source data in the SH schema. It also creates tables and indexes that support text mining.

The dmsh script, like dmshgrants, is provided by the Database Companion installation. and is included with the Data Mining demos in the zip file you can download from OTN.

Run DMSH

To run dmsh, log in to SQL*Plus as the data mining user (in this case, dmuser with the password dmpsw).

SQL>Connect dmuser/dmpsw
SQL>@%ORACLE_HOME%\rdbms\demo\dmsh
SQL>commit;

Sample Schemas

The Oracle Data Mining demo programs use data in the SH sample schema. If the sample schemas were not originally installed in the database, you must install SH.

To install the sample schemas after installation of Oracle Database, use Database Configuration Assistant. For an example that uses Database Configuration Assistant, see "Adding the Data Mining Option to a Database".

To install SH without the other sample schemas, run the sh_main script. The sh_main.sql file is located in \demo\schema\sales_history in the Oracle home directory. You must run the script as SYS.

See Also:

Oracle Database Sample Schemas for more details about installing the sample schemas.

A Sample User Scenario

Let's assume that you have access to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2), which has been installed on a Windows host with the Data Mining option, the sample schemas, and the sample programs. You can log in to this database as SYS using SQL*Plus.

Several Data Mining users (dmuser1 and dmuser2) have already been created in this database. You want to create your own user ID (dmuser3) and run the demo programs to create some starter models in your schema. To accomplish this, you would perform the following steps.

> sqlplus
    Enter user-name: sys / as sysdba
    Enter password: sys_password
SQL> create user dmuser3 identified by dmuser3_password 
     default tablespace users temporary tablespace temp 
     quota unlimited on users;

Run dmshgrants.sql to grant privileges to dmuser3.

SQL> @ %ORACLE_HOME%\rdbms\demo\dmshgrants SH_password dmuser3

Connect as dmuser3 and run dmsh.sql to populate the dmuser3 schema with views and tables needed by the demo programs. Save your changes in the database.
```
SQL> connect dmuser3/dmuser3_password
SQL> @ %ORACLE_HOME%\rdbms\demo\dmsh
SQL> commit;
```

You can now run any of the PL/SQL data mining demos. For example, while logged in to SQL*Plus as dmuser3, you could run the Naive Bayes PL/SQL demo with the following statement.

SQL>@ %ORACLE_HOME%\rdbms\demo\dmnbdemo

You can also run any of the Java data mining demos, if you have Java 1.4.2 or higher and your CLASSPATH is set as described in "Preparing to Run the Java Programs". For example, you could run the Naive Bayes Java demo with a command like the following at the operating system prompt.

>java dmnbdemo myserver:1521:orcl dmuser3 dmuser3_password

Note that the BLAST demo uses different data sets and requires a separate setup procedure. See "Preparing to Run the BLAST Demo".

Note:

All the demo programs are re-executable. They start by deleting the results of the previous run before executing the current run.

Examining the Data

The dmsh.sql script creates views, tables, and indexes in the user's schema. The views define columns of customer data from tables in the SH schema. This data is used by the Data Mining demo programs. The tables reference the same columns in SH, but they include an extra COMMENTS column for text mining. The indexes are used to extract terms from the text in the COMMENTS column and build a nested table column.

Customer Data for Data Mining

Views in the data mining user's schema define columns of data from the CUSTOMERS, SALES, PRODUCTS, COUNTRIES, and SUPPLEMENTARY_DEMOGRAPHICS tables in the SH schema. You can list these views with the following SQL statements.

SQL>connect dmuser3/dmuser3_password
SQL>select view_name from user_views;

The views are listed in Table 4-1.

Table 4-1 Views Used by the Data Mining Demo Programs

View Name	Description
`MINING_DATA_APPLY_STR_V`	Scoring data for o-cluster
`MINING_DATA_BUILD_STR_V`	Build data for o-cluster
`MINING_DATA_APPLY_V`	Scoring data for data mining (not text mining)
`MINING_DATA_BUILD_V`	Build data for data mining (not text mining)
`MINING_DATA_TEST_V`	Test data for data mining (not text mining)
`MARKET_BASKET_V`	Data for association rules
`MINING_DATA_ONE_CLASS_V`	Data for one-class SVM

You can see the references to tables in SH by listing the view definitions. The definition of the view MINING_DATA_BUILD_V is shown as follows.

SQL>set long 1000000
SQL>set longc 100000
SQL>select text from all_views where 
    owner='DMUSER3'and view_name='MINING_DATA_BUILD_V';

      SELECT 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.OCC UPATION, 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_KANJI 
       FROM  sh.customers a, 
             sh.supplementary_demographics b, 
             sh.countries c 
       WHERE a.CUST_ID = b.CUST_ID AND a.country_id = c.country_id 
             AND a.cust_id between 101501 and 103000

The views are used to build, test, and score the sample models. Each view has a CUSTOMER_ID column, which is the case ID, and an AFFINITY_CARD column, which is the target used by the predictive models. Most of the views provide data for 1500 customers (1500 rows). The view used by the one-class SVM model has data for 940 customers.

The columns of build data in the MINING_DATA_BUILD_V view are listed in the following example.

STANDARD_MOUSE                               NUMBER

Customer Data for Text Mining

The text mining demos use the same customer data from tables in SH, but they include either an extra text column or a collection type column. The collection type is a nested table of type DM_NESTED_NUMERICALS.

You can list these tables with the following SQL statements.

SQL>connect dmuser3/dmuser3_password
SQL>select table_name from user_tables where table_name like '%MINING%';

The tables are listed in Table 4-2.

PL/SQL Program Summaries

Summary descriptions of the PL/SQL demo programs are provided in Table 4-4. For detailed descriptions of the demo programs, see the comments in the source code.

Table 4-4 Overview of the PL/SQL Demo Programs

Mining Function	Description
Classification	The classification programs demonstrate various preprocessing techniques and perform the following steps: Build a classification model using training data Display model details and settings Test the model by applying the model on the test data Present test metrics, such as confusion matrix, lift, and ROC Apply the model on the scoring data Present apply results Present ranked apply results, influenced by a cost matrix The `dmdtxvlddemo.sql` program demonstrates cross-validation techniques for decision tree based-classification. With minor modifications, this program can be used to perform cross validation using other models/algorithms.
Regression	`dmsvrdem.sql` uses different test metrics, but otherwise performs most of the same steps used in the classification programs. Selected attributes of the input data are preprocessed (normalized).
Association	`dmardemo.sql` builds an association model and presents frequent itemsets and association rules as output. Selected attributes of the input data are preprocessed (binned).
Clustering	`dmkmdemo.sql` (k-Means) and `dmocdemo.sql` (0-cluster) build clustering models and present cluster details, such as rules, centroid, and histogram for each cluster as output. The models are scored, and the probabilities associated with each cluster are returned as output. Selected attributes of the input data are preprocessed (normalized).
Feature Extraction	`dmnmdemo.sql` builds a feature extraction model and presents model details as the output. The model is scored, and each feature ID is associated with a probability. Selected attributes of the input data are preprocessed (normalized).
Attribute Importance	`dmaidemo.sql` builds an attribute importance model and presents a list of important attributes as the output of model details. Selected attributes of the input data are preprocessed (binned).

Data Mining SQL Functions

Note:

The SQL functions for Data Mining are documented in Oracle Database SQL Reference. Information about these functions is also provided in Oracle Data Mining Application Developer's Guide, where they are referred to as SQL scoring functions.

Some of the PL/SQL demo programs use Data Mining SQL functions to apply models created with the DBMS_DATA_MINING package. The Data Mining functions can also be used to apply models created with the Java API.

The programs that demonstrate the Data Mining functions are listed in Table 4-5.

Preparing to Run the Java Programs

Before running the Java programs, do the following:

Check that the version of Java you are using is 1.4.2. You can execute the following in a command window to check the version of Java:
```
>java -version
```

Ensure that your CLASSPATH includes the following JAR files:

%ORACLE_HOME%\rdbms\jlib\jdm.jar
            %ORACLE_HOME%\rdbms\jlib\ojdm_api.jar
            %ORACLE_HOME%\rdbms\jlib\xdb.jar
            %ORACLE_HOME%\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar
            %ORACLE_HOME%\oc4j\j2ee\home\lib\connector.jar
            %ORACLE_HOME%\jlib\orai18n.jar   
            %ORACLE_HOME%\jlib\orai18n-mapping.jar
            %ORACLE_HOME%\lib\xmlparserv2.jar

Compile the programs. Use the javac executable in the \jdk\bin\ directory within Oracle home.
```
>javac program_name
```

Running the Java Programs

Use the following syntax to execute the Java demo programs. Use the java executable in the \jdk\bin\ directory within Oracle home.

>java program_name connect_string user_name user_password

The connection string specifies your Oracle database connection. It identifies the machine hosting the database, the port through which the connection is made, and the name of the database instance (the Oracle system identifier).

host_name:port:SID

For example, the following command executes the Naive Bayes demo dmnbdemo.java as dmuser3 in the database instance orcl on host mach05 at port 1521.

>java dmnbdemo mach05:1521:orcl dmuser3 dmuser3_password

You can list the models created by the Java programs with commands like the following in SQL*Plus.

>sqlplus dmuser3/dmuser3_password
SQL> set linesize 200
SQL> set pagesize 100 
SQL> select NAME, FUNCTION_NAME, ALGORITHM_NAME, TARGET_ATTRIBUTE 
            from dm_user_models where NAME like '%JDM';

Text Mining Demo Programs

Oracle Data Mining can mine text columns that have undergone pre-processing by Oracle Text routines.

Oracle Text is a technology for building text query and document classification applications. It provides indexing, word and theme searching, and viewing capabilities for text. Oracle Text is included in a general installation of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition, and therefore is already present in a database installed according to the instructions in Chapter 1.

The pre-processing steps for text mining create nested table columns of type DM_NESTED_NUMERICALS from columns of type VARCHAR2 or CLOB. Each row of the nested table specifies an attribute name and a value. The type definition is as follows.

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE DM_NESTED_NUMERICAL AS OBJECT
  (attribute_name VARCHAR2(30),
   value          NUMBER)
/
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE DM_NESTED_NUMERICALS AS TABLE OF DM_NESTED_NUMERICAL

Terms extracted from text documents into nested tables can become generic attributes in training or scoring data. Classification, clustering, and feature-extraction models can be built using these attributes.

Sample text mining programs in both PL/SQL and Java illustrate classification and feature extraction of a pre-processed text column.

Text Mining in PL/SQL

Three PL/SQL demo programs illustrate the process of text mining. One program illustrates the pre-processing that is required to prepare the data for mining. The other two programs build models that use the transformed text.

Text Transformation Demo

To prepare a column for text mining using the PL/SQL API, you must use Oracle Text routines to perform the following general steps:

Create a domain index on the column.
Use the index to extract terms from the column to a temporary table.
Populate a column of type DM_NESTED_NUMERICALS with the terms in the temporary table.

The process of term extraction using Oracle Text is illustrated in the demo program dmtxtfe.sql. The source code contains extensive comments that explain the steps involved in transforming text into a set of features that can be mined using Oracle Data Mining.

More details about text transformation are provided in the Oracle Data Mining Application Developer's Guide.

Text Transformation for the PL/SQL Text Mining Demo Programs

The dmsh.sql script performs the text transformation required by the PL/SQL text mining demos. There are two such demos: dmtxtnmf.sql, which builds a feature extraction model using Non-Negative Matrix Factorization, and dmtxtsvm.sql, which builds a classification model using Support Vector Machines. Both of these programs use the tables that have a nested table column of comment data.

MINING_TEST_NESTED_TEXT
MINING_APPLY_NESTED_TEXT

The Sample Text Mining Models (PL/SQL)

You can run the PL/SQL text mining demo programs, dmtxtnmf.sql and dmtxtsvm.sql, like the other PL/SQL programs. The models created by these programs are listed in the following example.

SQL> @ %ORACLE_HOME%\rdbms\demo\dmtxtnmf.sql
SQL> @ %ORACLE_HOME%\rdbms\demo\dmtxtsvm.sql
SQL> select NAME, FUNCTION_NAME, ALGORITHM_NAME, TARGET_ATTRIBUTE

Text Mining in Java

Two Java demo programs illustrate the process of text mining. One builds a feature extraction model, the other builds a classification model.

Text Transformation for the Java Demo Text Mining Programs

The Oracle Data Mining Java API provides an interface that handles the term extraction process. If you are developing data mining applications in Java, you do not need to use Oracle Text directly. However, you must ensure that Oracle Text is present in the database.

The OraTextTransform interface is used to perform text transformation within the Java text mining demos. There are two such demos: dmtxtnmfdemo.java, which builds a feature extraction model using Non-Negative Matrix Factorization, and dmtxtsvmdemo.java, which builds a classification model using Support Vector Machines. Both of these programs create build, test, and apply data sets from the tables that have a text column of comment data.

The Sample Text Mining Models (Java)

You can run the Java text mining demo programs, dmtxtnmfdemo.java and dmtxtsvmdemo.java, like the other Java programs. The models created by these programs are shown in the following example.

BLAST Demo Program

The Oracle implementation of the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) is demonstrated in the demo program, dmbldemo.sql. This program provides examples of sequence matching queries using the BLAST table functions.

Note:

The BLAST algorithm detects local alignments in nucleotide and protein databases. BLAST performs a kind of data mining, since it finds regions of similarity embedded in otherwise unrelated sequences. However, BLAST does not use Oracle Data Mining technology. It is a completely independent tool.

For more information about the Oracle implementation of BLAST, see Oracle Data Mining Application Developer's Guide

The BLAST demo program and configuration scripts are listed in Table 4-9.

Table 4-9 BLAST Demo Files

File Name	Description
dmbldemo.sql	BLAST demo program.
dmblcoli.sql	Script that creates the Ecoli data set.
dmblprot.sql	Script that creates the Swiss Protein data set.
dmblprot.txt	Text for SQL*Loader to load into the Swiss Protein data set.
dmbl.ctl	Control file for SQL*Loader to use in loading the Swiss Protein data set.

Preparing to Run the BLAST Demo

The demo BLAST table functions in dmbldemo.sql use two data sets: SwissProt and ecoli10. To prepare these data sets, log in to SQL*Plus as the data mining user and run the dmblprot and dmblcoli scripts as shown in the following example.

SQL>connect dmuser3/dmuser3_password
SQL>@ %ORACLE_HOME%\rdbms\demo\dmblprot.sql
SQL>@ %ORACLE_HOME%\rdbms\demo\dmblcoli.sql

Exit SQL*Plus and use the SQL*Loader utility to load data into the SwissProt database in the schema of the data mining user. From the command prompt, change to the \rdbms\demo directory under Oracle home and execute the following command.

>sqlldir dmuser3/dmuser3_password 
         control=dmblprot.ctl data=dmblprot.txt log=dmblprot.log

Running the BLAST Table Functions

The demo program dmbldemo.sql contains multiple invocations of BLAST table functions. You can run them all at once by running the dmbldemo.sql script, or you can copy individual table functions to the SQL*Plus command line and execute them individually.

To run the demo program, log in to SQL*Plus as the data mining user and run the dmbldemo.sql script as shown in the following example.

SQL>connect dmuser3/dmuser3_password
SQL> @ %ORACLE_HOME%\rdbms\demo\dmbldemo.sql

The following example shows how you could execute the sample BLASTP_MATCH table function at the SQL*Plus command line. BLASTP_MATCH is run against all the human proteins in the SwissProt database.

SQL>connect dmuser3/dmuser3_password
SQL>SET serveroutput ON
SQL>SET trimspool ON  
SQL>SET pages 10000
SQL>column seq_id format a10
SQL>select T_SEQ_ID AS seq_id, score, EXPECT as evalue
         from TABLE(
              BLASTP_MATCH (
                   (select sequence from query_db),
                    CURSOR(SELECT seq_id, seq_data 
                           FROM swissprot
                           WHERE organism = 'Homo sapiens (Human)'),
                   1,
                  -1,
                   0,
                   0,
                  'BLOSUM62',
                  10,
                   0,
                   0,
                   0,
                   0,
                   0)
          )
     order by score,seq_id;

The output of this table function is shown as follows.
