How To Apply Clustering Model To Marketing Needs?
Jan 15, 2008
I´ve developed a Clustering Model with a total population of 25,000 customers. As a result I have 10 clusters. The variables are products.
My question is:
How can I automatically detect which clusters to select if the Product Manager of Product A (one of the variables) ask me for a DataBase of customers that are more willing to by Product A? In that case I´d like to select the clusters where the penetration of product A is more than 65% and select the customers of those clusters that don´t have Product A.
Basically the question will be....How I detect with a query which is the cluster where the penetration of a given producto is more than X%
Which will be the query that I should use to extract that information?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
I have built a Clustering model that captures customer demographic information
and identify various hidden clusters based on the information.
What kind of predictions can I make using the above model?

I have a question about writing a prediction query against a clustering model that has the same column added more than once.
Per Jamie, I can accomplish some crude weighting by adding a column to my model multiple times. See this post for an explnation... Now that I have that worked out, I was wondering how my DM query would look? If I have Input_A1, Input_A2 , & Input_A3 all being source from the same column in my structure do I have to reference all three when writing my prediction query?

I am using Sequence Clustering algorithm. (I've built several models with Clustering algorithm and Decision Trees for this client, which work fine.).
Background: Sequence data must be stored in a nested table, which can have only 1 non-key attribute.
I specify a mining model structure with the nested table key as the datetime, and the nested table discrete prediction column as [sort name] . this builds the model fine.
When I try to process this data mining model, I get Process failed: "Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The sort order specified for distinct count records is incorrect".
Iit may be that OLAP distinct count requests numerical data type, but not from the examples I've seen. Tried this anyway €“ doesn€™t work on numeric either €“ same problem.
Any Suggestions?

Hi,
I wonder if someone could offer advice.
I have been asked to create a marketing database for a company that sells products through 4 differenct e-commerce websites. What they want to do is analyse the sales, customer prefs, and other business related information to improve business from the 4 different databases. However these 4 databases are on different servers.
Therefore how can I transmit the sales and product data to a central database that I can do all the analysis on. Or is there a way I can use microsoft products to connect to multiple data sources to create reports etc.
Can anyone help in this problem?
Regards
Bidean

I recently wrote a white paper on OLAP and was having a hard time finding any information about what was new in SQL Server 2000 OLAP on the web. I didn't really find much until I downloaded a trial copy of SQL Server 2000 (which didn't have OLAP, but had links to information on it). We use Hyperion Essbase, and I was wondering if Microsoft OLAP 2000 would be a viable competitor.

Hi... I'm reading the MS Press 70-442 Self-Paced Training kit, and I'm having problems with this example.
I'd like help getting it to work correctly, or understand why it is isn't working the way I planned.
On page 67, the lab is about the APPLY operator (CROSS APPLY and OUTER APPLY). I first have to input a sample table-valued function into the AdventureWorks database:
Code Block
CREATE FUNCTION fnGetAvgCost(@ProdID int)
RETURNS @RetTable TABLE (AvgCost money)
AS
BEGIN
WITH Product(stdcost)
AS
(
SELECT avg(standardcost) as AvgCost
FROM Production.ProductCostHistory
WHERE ProductID = @ProdID
)
INSERT INTO @RetTable
SELECT * FROM Product
RETURN
END
and then run a sample T-SQL statement
Code Block
SELECT p.Name, p.ProductNumber,
Convert(varchar, cost.AvgCost,1) AS 'Average Cost'
FROM Production.Product p
CROSS APPLY fnGetAvgCost(p.ProductID) AS cost
WHERE cost.AvgCost IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY cost.AvgCost desc
My problem is with the WHERE clause... According to page 56, CROSS APPLY returns only rows from the outer table that produces a result set, so why do I need to explicitly filter NULL values?
When I remove the WHERE clause, the query retrieves lots of NULL AvgCost values.
Again, according to page 56, it is the OUTER APPLY that returns all rows that return a result set and will include NULL values in the columns that are returned from the table-valued function.
So, in short, I don't see the difference between CROSS APPLY and OUTER APPLY, using this example, when I remove the WHERE clause?
(Please refrain from introducing another example into this question.)

We have 2 env. : Testing and Production, both are running Windows 2003 Enterprise Server with SQL Server 2005. The difference is Testing is NOT running Windows cluster but Production do so, what is the best way to transfer a database from testing to production?
We have another systems that both testing and production are running on NON-cluster and we use backup/restore to transfer the database, can it apply in this case.
And I found that there are a tools called DTC, which can transfer all DB objects from one DB to another, is it a best way to transfer between non-cluster and cluster env.?

I need to develop a language specific dwh, meaning that descriptions of products are available from a SAP system in multiple languages. English is the most important language and that is the standard. But, there are also requirements of countries that wants productdescriptions in their language.Â
Productnr Productdesc Language
1       product    EN
1       produkt    DE
One option is to column the descriptions, but that is not very elegantly. I was thinking of using bridge tables to model this but you have to always select a language in a filter (I think)..
I'm thinking of a technical solution, such that when a user logs on, the language is determined and a view determines whether to pick a certain product table specific for a certain language. But then I don't have the opportunity to interchange the different language specific fields in a report (or in my case PowerPivot).

We have the following scenario,
We have our Production server having database on which Few DTS packages execute every night. Most of them have Bulk Insert stored procedures running.
SO we have to set Recovery Model of the database to simple for that period of time, otherwise it will blow up our logs.
Is there any way we can set up log shipping between our production and standby server, but pause it for some time, set recovery model of primary db to simple, execute DTS Bulk Insert Jobs, Bring it Back to Full recovery Model AND finally bring back Log SHipping.
It it possible, if yes how can we achieve this.
If not what could be another DR solution in this scenario.
Thanks Much

Hi all,
I have MS Time Seeries model using a database of over a thousand products each of which has hundreds of cases. It amazingly takes only a few minutes to finish processing the model, but when I click Mining Model Viewer to view the models, it takes many hours to show up. Once the window is open, I can choose model for different products almost instantly. Is this normal?

I have a table called Courses with columns "courseCode" "courseName" and "TeacherName"Im passing in a value @prefixText ...I have the following...Select courseModuleCode from courses Where courseModuleCode like @prefixTextwhat I actually want to do is return one list, i.e. one column that will do the same for "courseName" and "TeacherName" aswell based on what the @prefix tag is...so i will end up with one column that may contains some or all of the following courseModuleCode, courseName, TeacherName. Im basically implementing a search on this table and want the users to search by any of the column nameshope this makes sense.

I am new to DTS.
In ExecuteSQLTask:
want the original sql statement of <<backup database databaeABC to backup_databaseABC with init>> to be
backup database ? to 'backup_' + ? with init
But it looks the parameter could not place a globalVariable to it and parse it with error.
One alternate way probably need to create a proc to pass a parm to it....
Also, how could pass a globalVariable to a FTP task?
thanks

I am trying to install sql server sp3a. I checked the version before and after the sp is applied, and it shows:
8.00.194
Now, according to the sp3a readme:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=/support/servicepacks/SQL/2000/SP3ReadMe.asp
the following versions should show:
SQL Server 2000 Original Release 8.00.194 RTM
Database Components SP1 or Desktop Engine SP1 8.00.384 SP1
Database Components SP2 or Desktop Engine SP2 8.00.534 SP2
Database Components SP3 or SP3a, or Desktop Engine SP3 or SP3a 8.00.760 SP3
This would imply that after installing sp3a and restarting, the version reported should now be 8.00.760. However, it still shows 8.00.194. So it appears to have not really installed, althought the sp3a installation ran without incident. So, how can I get the sp3a to not just act like it installed, but actually get it to install? Also, I have shut down all mssql services and rebooted, applied patch, and rebooted again. Doesn't help.
Also, if it is really installing, is there another way to tell?
Anyway, I really need to be able to install sp3a to see if it fixes another problem I'm having. Unfortunetly, since I can't even tell if the sp3a is installing, I can't tell if it really doesn't help or not. Thanks.
