Install Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.1) or higher; for directions see the Oracle Database Documentation Library 11g Release 2 (11.2). You must install the Enterprise Edition of the database.
Download the software from Oracle Database Software Downloads at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html
.
To use Oracle Data Miner, you must connect to an Oracle database that satisfies these requirements:
Specify that the database use the AL32UTF8 character set if there is any chance that you use data from multi-byte languages.
The installer chooses the default character set based on your system's locale. The AL32UTF8 character set ensures maximum support for character data using characters from all languages (single-byte languages such as English, as well as multi-byte languages such as Simplified Chinese). It is particularly important to specify this character set if you intend to perform text mining on a wide variety of languages. The AL32UTF8 character set is also required to display translated versions of the GUI correctly.
Oracle Data Mining is installed. Oracle Data Mining is installed automatically when you install Oracle Database Enterprise Edition.
Oracle Text is installed. Oracle Text is installed automatically when you install Oracle Database Enterprise Edition.
Oracle XML DB is installed. Oracle XML DB is installed automatically when you install Oracle Database Enterprise Edition.
Data used by the cue card sets and the Oracle By Example tutorials requires the SH schema. If you install a starter database when you install Oracle Database Enterprise Edition, SH is automatically installed.
Note: You must know the Administrative (SYS) password, the name of the host, the port number, and the SID for the database. This information is required to define connections and execute scripts. |
See Chapter 2 of the Oracle Data Mining Administrator's Guide for more information about installing a starter database.
