Data Mining Query

Applies to: SQL Server SSIS Integration Runtime in Azure Data Factory

Important

Data mining was deprecated in SQL Server 2017 (14.x) Analysis Services and now discontinued in SQL Server 2022 (16.x) Analysis Services. Documentation is not updated for deprecated and discontinued features. To learn more, see Analysis Services backward compatibility.

The design pane contains the data mining prediction query builder, which you can use to build data mining prediction queries. You can design either prediction queries based on input tables, or singleton prediction queries. Switch to the result view to run the query and view the results. The query view displays the Data Mining Extensions (DMX) query created by the prediction query builder.
