Oracle Data Miner

Update:  The latest version of Oracle Data Miner is now available in  SQL Developer Release 3.2. See links below for download and release notes.  Watch for new releases.

The free Oracle Data Miner GUI is an extension to Oracle SQL Developer 3.1 that enables data analysts to work directly with data inside the database, explore the data graphically, build and evaluate multiple data mining models, apply Oracle Data Mining models to new data and deploy Oracle Data Mining's predictions and insights throughout the enterprise. Oracle Data Miner work flows capture and document the user's analytical methodology and can be saved and shared with others to automate advanced analytical methodologies.
Oracle Data Miner creates predictive models that application developers can integrate into applications to automate the discovery and distribution of new business intelligence-predictions, patterns and discoveries—throughout the enterprise.   (To see details about the prior release of Oracle Data Miner,  Oracle Data Miner Classic, click here.)
