I stumbled across PROLOG by chance when I was looking for literature on expert systems in our campus library: there were still a few ‘old’ books in the basement of the library, including Bratko and Hans Kleine Bünning. As a PROLOG novice, I started with those… We operate a whole range of different …

By using the debug-predicat I found out that the password also has to be quotet - and after a while I was able to send a first query to my database. :grinning_face: Perhaps I should came up with the complete manual to get in contact with a Oracle database from a windows system. . [image]

Hello. If understand correctly, your goal is to learn enough Prolog to be able to code an Expert System (ES) to analyse technical failures in accelerators used at your university, by your students? If so, I would ask: have you considered doing the same thing but using another language that you alre…

[image] stassa.p: You can probably implement the functionality you want in another language. As @brebs says, Prolog is not an easy language to use. Not sure if I said that somewhere… my point would be that Prolog is worth learning and using, for the folks that can. Rather than plain Java/Pyt…

[image] stassa.p: your goal is to learn enough Prolog to be able to code an Expert System (ES) to analyse technical failures in accelerators used at your university, by your students? That’s partly true: for me, learning PROLOG means first understanding and being able to use the language, but…

[image] siegfried: I have already set up the knowledge database as a relational DB. [image] siegfried: The backend exists already in the form of an SQL database that we have developed and set up ourselves. Sounds great - could you show e.g. the structure? Why not put these as Prolog f…

Use LLMs to create your Prolog? Absolutely you can. I used Claude code to help me create a Prolog program of a little expert system to manage a kitchen that needed to produce different dishes with different appliances and to be able to maximize revenue. Basically an ILP ( Integer Linear Program) s…

It would be terribly interesting to see a bit more detailed write-up of what you described above. ( @bauhaus911 sorry about the previous wording, I had not had coffee which is a dumb excuse)

You are mistaken. What really happened is that I saw a reply to the topic, and re-read my own comment, and disliked my own tone. It had nothing to do with the content of your post, at least not consciously. While the tone is different, the intent is very much the same: I would like to see a more de…

[image] anon95304481: The Prolog part. The Python part. Or all of it what? The whole process, as described above by @bauhaus911 : I used Claude code to help me create a Prolog program of a little expert system to manage a kitchen that needed to produce different dishes with different applia…

[image] anon95304481: I only covered the LP (Linear Programming) related Prolog part. I might be missing something, I did read this post of yours: Technical Failure Management and Root Cause Prediction with an Expert System - #15 It only provides publicly available information on the topics…
