Abstract—There is a huge amount of data around
us and to extract valuable information from it can be done through data mining. Data Miming is the
process of extracting useful information from the
huge amount of data stored in databases.
Association Rule Mining is one of the data mining
techniques used to extract hidden knowledge from
datasets that can be used by an organization’s
decision makers to improve overall profit. One of
the most famous association rule learning
algorithms is Apriori. Apriori algorithm is one of
algorithms for generation of association rules. The
drawback of Apriori Rule algorithm is the number
of time to read data in the database equally number
of each candidate were generated. A disconnected
approach is implemented in this paper. The
implementation of the algorithm would need to
scan the database one time. Through this
implementation of Apriori Algorithm greatly
reduces the database scan which reduces time, network consumption and can improve the

I. INTRODUCTION
One of the most popular technique in data mining
is Apriori algorithm [1][2][3]. The Data mining is
usually involve huge amounts of information.
Association rules exhaustively look for hidden
patterns, making them suitable for discovering
predictive rules involving subsets of data set
attributes. Association rules are used to identify
relationships among a set of items in database.
These relationships are not based on inherent
properties of the data themselves (as with functional dependencies), but rather based on co-
occurrence of the data items [4]. This paper
proposes the implementation of Apriori algorithm
by using Disconnected Approach of ADO.NET to
discover association rules from huge amount of
information.
One of the most well known and popular data
mining techniques is the Association rules or
frequent item sets mining algorithm. The algorithm
was originally proposed by Agrawal et al. [1] [2]
for market basket analysis. Because of its
significant applicability, many revised algorithms
have been introduced since then, and Association
rule mining is still a widely researched area. Many
variations done on the frequent pattern mining
algorithm of Apriori is discussed in this section.
Agrawal et. al. presented an AIS algorithm in [1]
which generates candidate item sets on-the-fly
during each pass of the database scan. Large item
sets from previous pass are checked if they are
present in the current transaction. Thus new item
sets are formed by extending existing item sets.
This algorithm turns out to be ineffective because it
generates too many candidate item sets. It requires
more space and at the same time this algorithm
requires too many passes over the whole database
and also it generates rules with one consequent
item. Agrawal et. al. [2] developed various versions
of Apriori algorithm such as Apriori, AprioriTid,
and AprioriHybrid. Apriori and AprioriTid
generate item sets using the large item sets found in
the previous pass, without considering the

Step1: First scan the database and find all the itemset that contains the minimum support ≥ 2. In the above d itemset not containing the minimum support ≥ 2, so it is removed from the itemset list.
Step2: Apply the join step on the 2-candidates, scan the database and now apply the prune step (itemset that contains the minimum support ≥ 2).
Step3: Repeat this process until we find all frequent itemsets (itemset that contains the minimum support ≥ 2). In the above example following are the frequent itemsets {A} {B} {C} {E} {A C} {B C} {B E} {C E} {B C E}
Step4: Now we can generate the strong Association Rules from these itemset.
Methods:
To avoid the problem of repeatedly scanning the database, this is very time consuming process and also affect the performance of Apriori algorithm
In this paper we implemented for scanning process
use the disconnected approach, in which just scan
the whole database at once and put into a database
object. By using the disconnected approach, we can
reduce the number of round trips for scanning the database that reduce the scanning time and affect
the performance of Apriori algorithm.
Disconnected Approach
ADO.NET is an object-oriented set of libraries that
allows you to interact with data
sources. Commonly, the data source is a database,
but it could also be a text file, an Excel
spreadsheet, or an XML file. For the purposes of
this we will look at ADO.NET as a way to interact
with a data base.
ADO.NET Components
The ADO.NET components have been designed to
factor data access from data manipulation. There
are two central components of ADO.NET that
accomplish this: the DataSet, and the .NET
Framework data provider, which is a set of
components including the Connection, Command, DataSet, and DataAdapter objects.
The DataSet Object
The ADO.NET DataSet is the core component of
the disconnected architecture of ADO.NET. The
DataSet is explicitly designed for data access
independent of any data source. DataSet objects are
in-memory representations of data. They contain
multiple Datatable objects, which contain columns
and rows, just like normal database tables. You
can even define relations between tables to create
parent-child relationships. The
