Oracle Staking Claim in Open-Source ‘R’ Language

“Oracle Advanced Analytics consists of Oracle R Enterprise,
along with the vendor’s existing Data Mining module. It’s available
as an Oracle 11g database option and costs US$23,000 per processor
license. Data Mining will fall off the price list and be supplanted
by Advanced Analytics.

“Oracle R Enterprise allows R users to apply their existing
scripts and statistical models to information held in Oracle 11g,
according to the company. Oracle data mining algorithms, OLAP
(online analytical processing) cubes and other assets are also
integrated with R, and R scripts can be called with standard
SQL.”
