I think I have good news ... not only is the answer "yes," but I've published a very "hands-on" procedure for the rudiments, right here at Database Journal, as well as a second article that goes a bit deeper alluding to more sophisticated approaches.

See http://www.databasejournal.com/featu...le.php/3080511

and

respectively. Once you've worked through the articles, come back to thee forum with any specific questions that arise.

Good Luck!
