Abstract
A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for performing data mining applications in a massively parallel relational database management system. A scalable data mining function comprising an automated, adaptive, histogram bin data description assist function is instantiated and parameterized via an analytic application programming interface (API). The automated, adaptive, histogram bin data description assist function comprises a query that is performed directly within the relational database management system, wherein the automated, adaptive, histogram bin data description assist function counts a number of occurrences of values in value ranges for a numeric data element in a column of a table stored in the relational database.
