"Data Mining Managed Plug-in Algorithm API for SQL Server 2005"

Feature Pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - April 2006 - Data Mining Managed Plug-in Algorithm API for SQL Server 2005

"...
 
The Managed Plug-in API is a Microsoft .NET object model that enables software developers to create plug-in data mining algorithms for SQL Server 2005 by using CLI-compliant languages, such as Visual C# 2.0. The object model is available as source code and it needs to be built on the developer’s computer. The package includes a step-by-step tutorial, a compiled HTML help file (.chm), as well as a sample plug-in algorithm developed in C#.

I’d missed this... I’m glad Jamie point it out. I dig the SQL Feature Packs, but I really wish MS would provide a change history. Just a list of pack items that have changed or been added in the main section of the download description (or a link to a KB article with the changes)...

Now I hate to say it, but I doubt I’ll ever be able to actually use this. I’d LIKE too, but coming up with new data mining algorithms? But then again I never envisioned where I’m at today when I fired up VB1 for the first time... So YES, there’s hope! I may just become the Data Mining Guy! lol... yeah, okay... I’m done. ;)

Anyway I think it’s cool to see this kind of extensibility for SQL Server.
