I found this. "The ideal structure for such storage is a star schema, realized as a multidimensional cube. In such a structure, tables are related not in the relational manner of an RDBMS, but by a central key table that defines the dimensions along which data will be gathered from logically-related tables. For this to work, data must be denormalized. " That sounds a lot like an MV database. Wouldn't MV databases be the natural platform for data mining? Maybe I am oversimplifying.
