Executing DMX DDL from a linked server
Luckily before I left MSFT, I had the foresight to change my contact email on that old wet blog of mine that I’m no longer able to contribute to – no hard feelings. I received a question which is something that has come up frequently enough that it just needs to be dealt with so for all future posts, you can just say “look at the Executing DMX DML from a link server post on Jamie’s new blog – the only blog that matters,” and be done with it.
So just for definition’s sake – DMX – Data Mining eXtensions to SQL, DDL – Data Definition Language, DMX DDL – DMX statements that create or modify objects! You would think you can add two TLA’s and get an SLA, but that stands for “service level agreement” which has nothing to do with this post. This post could also have been named “how to execute non-rowset returning commands on Analysis Services from SQL Server”, but not only do I digress, I like the actual title better with the dual unpronounceable acronyms..
