Performing data mining operations within a columnar database management system

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions for:

• storing one or more input sets of data for a data mining operation within a columnar database management system, an input set represented as a column of data;
• storing, in the columnar database management system, instructions to perform one or more data mining operations for processing the input sets of data;
• receiving, from a client, a request to perform a data mining operation on the one or more input sets of data;
• and
• responsive to receiving the request, obtaining by the columnar database management system, a set of data mining results, the obtaining comprising:
• parsing the data mining request within the columnar database management system,
• generating a data mining processing plan comprising various steps for processing the requested data mining operation, and
• executing the data mining processing plan to obtain the results of the requested data mining operation;
• and
• sending the set of data mining results obtained to a client device sending the request.
