Dear All , I just have a question. I chose to use Apache Mahout as my recommendation engine but at the same time due to some reasons it would be easier if I could store my data in a MS SQL Server db. Can mahout be connected with SQL Server easily without any problems ? Could it result in performance issue or prevent me from some features ?
In Mahout in Action , it is said that it can be connected with other db engines through JDB driver "At the moment, the primary subclass of JDBCDataModel is one written for use with MySQL 5.x: MySQLJDBCDataModel. It may well work with older versions of MySQL, or even other databases, because it tries to use standard ANSI SQL where possible. It isn’t difficult to create variations, as needed, to use database-specific syntax and features." but I see all articles , books using mysql and also the data model supported are for mysql only. Can you help me with that ? Regards , Ahmed Kamal
