README-File for installation of M4 schema in an Oracle DB.
============================================================

Name of this file: README.txt
Directory for this file: .../MiningMart/m4install/oracle/

This readme file describes how to install the M4 schema in
an Oracle database.

Note that MiningMart was tested only for Oracle 8.1.6.

MiningMart needs at least one database schema in which it
stores information. The files "install.sh" and "install.bat"
in this directory are shell scripts for linux/solaris and 
windows which do the installation. Before executing the scripts
(simply from the command line, like any other command), you
must edit the script and put some information about your
database into it. This is explained in the script file.

Usually MiningMart uses two database schemas, one for the
data that is going to be processed, which is called the business
schema, and one for its own MiningMart data, which is called the
M4 schema. The business schema can be the same as the M4 schema, 
but often one wants to separate them.

After executing the installation script you can follow the 
instructions in the general README and INSTALL files to start
MiningMart.
