Unfortunately, the tutorial is for the Beta version, and therefore there are major differences from the Beta to the current version. The steps can be used as objectives to accomplish.
1). The last page of the tutorial (item 7), Deployment data mining models - Not covered in this tutorial at this moment. What needs to be done in the deployment?
2). The Decision Tree in my project has one node, how would I make the tree show up?
3). My data results are not consistent with the tutorial? Would the software modifications since Beta be the reason?
Could please any of you give me some advices for if there are tutorials and demos avaiable which cover all the SQL Server 2005 data mining built-in algorithms?
That will be great to hear from any of you shortly. Thanks a lot in advance.
I am wondering where can I store my mining results in data mining engine? For example, I got mining results like accuracy chart, decision trees, and other formats of results based on different mining algorithms I used for my data mining, so where can I actually store the results for reporting service use later? Is it possible to do that in SQL Server 2005?
Thanks a lot for any help and guidance in advance.
Microsoft released an introductory tutorial for data mining in September 2007, and I was attempting to match the results on: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms169911.aspx
I was not able to match the results, so then I went "under the hood" for the tables, and discovered that my copy of AdventureWorksDW has truncated values in the Education field of the ProspectiveBuyer table. I had wanted to connect "EnglishEducation" from the Mining Model to "Education" in the "Input Table" to see if the additional linkage would affect the prediction results (the wizard does not automatically link these fields because they technically do not have the same name).
1) Is everybody's "Education" field in the "Prospective Buyers" table populated with truncated values? (which may be intentional since it is a sample dataset) -- compare to "EnglishEducation" field in the vTargetMail table
2) Am I the only one getting 0.50580 for all rows when I use "Decision Tree" (per the tutorial instructions)? By contrast, I was able to see a variance in expression values for clustering and naive Bayes.
My guess: everybody has a truncated "Education" field, and there is something different in how the data mining model was run under the Decision Tree option to yield the tutorial's numerical results for "expression".
Hi everyone, I'm trying to get the data mining tutorial building but I'm getting tons of ATL errors. When using the wizard to add "Simple ATL Objects" I get messages telling me that the IDMAlgorithm object already exists. It's really driving me insane, because it's stopping me from moving on completely. I've tried deleting the project and recreating it several times with no avail. Hopefully someone will know what's causing the troubles. Thanks in advance,
I'm attempting to use RDA to synchronize a pocket pc emulator with SQL Server 2005 database by following tutorial http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa454892.aspx, which uses AdvWorksMobile database that comes with SQL Server 2005.
When get to testing of "To test application features " ( step 4 of the merge replication setup lab ), I am receiving SQLCe Exception errors.
ORIGINALLY, I was able to deploy an application and view the local database on the emulator, but once I clicked "InitSinc" button, I received an error.
"Failure to connect to SQL Server with provided connection information. SQL Server does not" exist, access is denied because the SQL user is not a valid user on the SQL Server, or the password is incorrect. Found this error listed in Server Agent Errors log http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172357.aspx, but it wasn't very helpful since it doesn't provide any suggestions on fixing the problems.
I am brand new to SQL CE Server , mobile programming and .NET framework in general so please bare with me
All the connections / security settings, etc that were set up were taken from a tutorial so I am not sure what SQLCeServer is complaining about. Reading up on the error on the web didn't help, it all pointed to making sure that the snapshot folder had correct permissions set up. I verified that MACHINENAMEUISR_MACHINENAME guest user had Read rights to the database so I don't think that piece is the problem. Otherwise ,Merge publication has been setup in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio by following the tutorial.
I am trying to run this sync on my home pc so there should be no issues with any user permissions
I have IIS installed
I did NOT have SQL Server Agent running in management studio at this time
I am trying to run this tutorial on an XP machine, which is my regular home PC so I dont think there are any special networking settings to consider
I am able to hit http://localhost/AdvWorksMobile/sqlcesa30.dll from my pc OK, but when I try to hit it from a cradled emulator ( after replacing "localhost" with "MACHINE_NAME" ), Internet Explorer on the emulator gives me a "Cannot Connect With Current Settings" error message. This part wasn't part of tutorial but decided so not sure if I am supposed to be able to hit it from my emulator..so I am not sure if the fact that I can't hit it is related to the problem. AFTER STARTING SQL SERVER AGENTin Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, I killed the application, and after relaunching it, it hits "The Specified table does not exist [Vendor]" error. This time it doesn't even launch first - that is I dont even get to pressing "InitSinc" button. Debugger is showing that this error is hit on the following line in AdvWorksMobile.AddWorksDataSetTableAdapters
int returnValue = this.Adapter.Fill(dataTable);
I am not sure why the errors changed on me after starting SQL Server Agent. What can I do to fix this connection problem?
While building the expression for the property: ConnectionString, I am facing an issue. The expression, I am trying to assign is '@[User::varFileName]'. When I clicked on the 'Evaluate Expression' button, the above expression is not returing any value in 'Evaluated Value' window. Please respond we have a solution.
I would like to know if there is any way to migrate third-party data mining packages with SQL Server 2005 data mining algorithms together then we can have a comparison among all of them to get the best results for training models.
I am not very good in queries. Could you please suggest me some web site/Tutorial/Artical where i can get Study Material for complex and real life queries. I know the syntexes, I just need to practice queries to enhance my skills
I am trying to use a new microsoft add-in for office 2007. I installed the 180 day trial version of SQL Server 2005 and according to the instructions it was suppose to be very easy to connect the add in to SQL. I am receiving an error message which I cannot find a resolution to using the readme file and wonder if you can help. Here is the url to the readme file and a screenshot with a summary of the add in.
ERROR MESSAGE Unable to connect to server 'localhost'. Please make sure user 'ARTIMUSArt McCarty' has at least read permission to some database on the server.

I already have data mining experience with different software, but my company is now migrating to SQL Server 2005 and since it include a data mining module, I would like to learn how to use it properly (Analysis Services, DMX language DMX, €¦).
Is there companies that offers formation in data mining for SQL Server 2005 ?
Is this book still the only book written for SQL2005's data mining? Does anyone know where I can find its errata? I have never seen so many editorial errors (typos, mislabeling, etc.) in other books. I am not worried about those obvious errors, but I am afraid that some errors may be so deceiving that when I find out, a lot of time will have been spent on misguided effort.
I have read about SQL Server Integration Services and that they also provide Text Mining service. I have looked at one of the tutorials but it seems that the thing that I want is not there. I want the following:
I want to develop a domain-specific knowledgable system that reads some unstructured data related to the domain. Then, when I query it will provide the most candidate results from these documents ranked by the most appropriate to the least (if the answer is there).
Please let me know if you beleive that I still can use SQL Server integration Services to implement this scenario. Otherwise, if you have any other resourse, like SDK, that can help me please let me know as well.
i am asked to develop a web application where i have to display reports in a seperate window from a hyperlink .i have to display the report in grid format and show a pie chart within the report layout .
i need to give user credential like print,save the report in excel or doc format and email report.
can anybody give the links for the best tutorial to achieve my purpose.
I am just starting to learn how to use data mining with SQL server 2005. I have some general questions which I hope someone out there can help me with.
Each month I have approx. 100.000 customers who buy a product.
I want to contact 10.000 of these with a letter for cross-selling some additional products.
Currently I choose these 10.000 randomly from the 100.000 customers. I now want to use SQL server 2005 data mining to choose these 10.000 better, to receive a better response rate. How do I transfer this knowledge to the 100.000 (potential cross-selling customers)
I understand that it could be set up in SQL server like the following:
case table: customer_id, gender, age, city, etc.
nested table: customer_id, product
Is this the way it should be approached and is there a special model/algorithm for this purpose?
Hi! I have some questions regarding text mining in Microsoft Data Mining Add-Ins for Office 2007.
What do I need to use data mining (especially text mining) through the Microsoft solution? I guess I need the following:
1) Microsoft Office 2007 (or Microsoft Excel 2007) [does it work with Microsoft Office 2003?] 2) Microsoft SQL Server 2005 [is it possible to use the text mining tool in Excel without access to the SQL Server? For example to directly analyze text data from an Excel worksheet] 3) The Microsoft Data Mining Add-Ins for Office 2007 (which is free of charge?)
What can I do regarding text mining?
1) Is it possible to analyze text data in different languages? [For example French, Swedish, Portuguese, Spanish text; i.e. other languages then English.] 2) Can I count how many cells that contain a specific phrase or a specific word? 3) Can I count how many cells that contain a specific phrase or a specific word given that it fulfill a specific criterion (e.g. given that it has a specific word in another column)? 4) Has the add-in a good options to aggregate words which are synonyms, or miss spelled, in relation to a specific key word? 4) What are the advantages and disadvantages to use the Microsoft solution in comparison to Clementine from SPSS or SPSS Text Analysis for Surveys?
after i installed sql server 2005 DM add-ins, i tried using it with office 2007 so i choose (start---->all programs----->microsoft sql 2005 dm add-ins---->getting started) so the getting started wizzard was opened, i selected from it (use an existing instance of microsoft sql server 2005 analysis services that i adminster) because i already had a version of it installed on my computer. then i tried to connect to analysis services by selecting 'server name'=local host, an error appeared which is "unable to discover meta data on the server 'local host' . user noha needs to be adminstrator of the server to run the configuration tool". how can i be the adminstrator of the server?????????.........plz reply me soon,thanks in advance

hey everbody, i'm absolutely new to any sort of data management here it goes: suppose we store 100 .txt or .doc files in sql server and we want that none of the files data should match more than 60%: the question which arises are
1. how do we store files in ms-sql (binary format or normal text)? 2. how do we match the files? 3. what code we write in c# for this purpose? 4. has this nething to do with pattern recognition?

I am attempting to create the "Classification - Children at Home" Data Mining Model as described in Larson's book. Each time that I create it.. ONLY the ALL LEVEL is shown and it is impossible to expand the model to look at the Decision Tree, Neural Network, or the Clustering model etc. Drill down is enabled (tried it with and without enabling the drill down). The Children at Home field has been populated with values from 0 - 4. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. regards Steve
