Hi
Are there any (important?) advantages of using data mining through DMX instead of Visual Studio 2005 on the SQL server 2005?

DMX is the only solution for querying the mining models, and BI Dev Studio also uses DMX in the prediction query builder.
In general, as far as mining object manipulation is concerned, DMX and the XMLA-based Analysis Services Scripting Language (aka DDL or ASSL), the script used by BI Dev Studio, have similar features.
There are a few differences, however, mostly deriving from the fact that DMX is designed as an extension for SQL, for application developers and, therefore, it is more concise (so that it can be embedded or generated by applications).
Some DDL features not supported by DMX:
full control over the metadata of mining objects. Properties such as Description, bindings, name bindings are only supported in DDL and not in DMX
