DMX syntax is more similar to SQL than MDX. Data mining (DM), also called Knowledge-Discovery in Databases (KDD) or Knowledge-Discovery and Data Mining, is the process of automatically searching large volumes of data for patterns such as association rules. ...

Data Definition Language (DDL) part of DMX can be used to

  • Create new data mining models and mining structures - CREATE MINING STRUCTURE, CREATE MINING MODEL
  • Delete existing data mining models and mining structures - DROP MINING STRUCTURE, DROP MINING MODEL
  • Export and import mining structures - EXPORT, IMPORT
  • Copy data from one mining model to another - SELECT INTO

Data Manipulation Language

Data Manipulation Language (DML) part of DMX can be used to

  • Train mining models - INSERT INTO
  • Browse data in mining models - SELECT FROM
  • Make predictions using mining model - SELECT ... FROM PREDICTION JOIN

Example of prediction query

This example is a singleton prediction query, which predicts for the given customer whether he will be interested in the home loan products.

 SELECT [Loan Seeker], PredictProbability([Loan Seeker]) FROM [Decision Tree] NATURAL PREDICTION JOIN (SELECT 35 AS [Age], 'Y' AS [House Owner], 'M' AS [Marital Status], 'F' AS [Gender], 2 AS [Number Cars Owned], 2 AS [Total Children], 18 AS [Total Years of Education] )
