Recent times have seen an explosive growth in the availability of various kinds of data. It has resulted in an unprecedented opportunity to develop automated data-driven techniques of extracting useful knowledge. Data mining. an important step in this process of knowledge discovery consists of methods that discover interesting. non-trivial and useful Patterns hidden in the data In this paper. we surveyed data mining techniques. We find effective data mining techniques in applying real world. and suggest appropriate application area for the each techniques. We conclude the Paper with some research issues.
