Question

What I want to do is to apply Association method of data mining on my SQL Server 2000 database. Association rule is something like “finding the most frequent items that appear together in database.”

For those who don’t know or who want to remember what is association method is like, take a look at this presentation about Association rule in Data Mining.

http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/sushiltry-108428-association-rules-data-mining-science-technology-ppt-powerpoint/

17th slide gives a nice example of applying association rule on a database.

So Can you help me about how should I write my SQL codes (If that will be sufficient of course)

Thanks.

Edit: I have corrected the link.

Answer 1

You need to implement the apriori algorithm. Check link-1 and also link-2.
