possible to save up the progress at some point of Decision Tree Training?

Dear All,

If I have a decision tree training work which might last for many days or months. Is it possible to tell the data mining training program to save up the progress at some point? In case the computer hangs or power fail in the middle, the computer can resume the rest of the work at the saving point?

Thanks

No, SQL Server 2005 Data Mining does not support interactive training for the mining models. A training request is a transactional operation so, if it fails for any reason (including the reasons you mentioned) the transaction is not commited and, when the server is restarted, it is rolled back
