750.0. "Will Expert ever go further ?" by NOMAHS::SECRIST (Rdb WWS; [email protected]) Mon May 12 1997 21:51

    
    	Has anyone ever looked at making RdbExpert work multiple passes
    	of instance data to check the deltas for progress ?  Couldn't
    	we take a subset of the rules, such as number of buffers, and
    	let it automatically tune them ?  If you remembered the results
    	wouldn't the product be able to rudimentarily "learn" ?  Couldn't
    	such learning actually generate rules out of a large scale beta
    	test with real data ?  There is a lot of potential for this in 
    	Oracle7/8 as well where there is more to frob.
    
    	Regards,
    	rcs

Exactly...  In order to do this, we need to begin tracking
changes to the instance parameters over time.  Some of the
capabilities that you describe will be introduced in 1.4 as
the new "AutoTune" capability.

Subsequent releases will move more in the direction that 
you outline.  Generating results from cases (Case based 
reasoning), or from exemplars (Learning from examples), are
both proven techniques for machine learning.

Been brushing up on your AI Richard?   :)

    No, just using the products just before mowing my lawn, so I had
    some extra CPU cycles...
