This site has been designed by the SQL Server Data Mining team to provide the SQL Server community with access and information about our exciting data mining features. The main feature of this site is our Live Samples . That’s right, this site is running a live version of SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services and we have sample interactive applications for you to play with right now. The current samples include a hypothetical Movie Store, an automatic Data Validator,  an interactive model database that shows off some sample web controls for browsing mining models, and a cool clustering algorithm demo app that turns mining into an art form.

To help out the community in understanding SQL Server Data Mining and implementing solutions, we offer Tutorials and a weekly Tips and Tricks column providing answers to frequently asked questions and other insights from the development team. We also provide  RSS feeds and a custom front end for our newsgroups to make it easy for you to get any help you need using SQL Server Data Mining.

For more reference material, check out our Whitepapers and Articles section for a selection of good reading material on SQL Server Data Mining. If you are interested in some code samples – you can find those in our Downloads section.

If you are looking for an archive of SQL Server 2000 Data Mining materials from our AnalysisServicesDataMining groups site, you can find those here.

And finally, if you would like to be part of our team and contribute to our unique vision of data mining for the masses, check out our job openings.

Thanks for your interest in SQL Server Data Mining! We hope this site will help you find the success in deployment as have our early adopters.  If you have any technical questions about data mining, we’re always just a newsgroup post away. For any feedback on the site itself,  feel free to contact us.
