Defines a derived data type that represents a root element that does not return data from a Discover or Execute method call.

Namespace urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis:empty

Syntax

<root xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis:empty">
   <!-- All elements are inherited from Resultset -->
</root>

Remarks

Some XML for Analysis (XMLA) commands are not expected to return a result, or could not return a result because of an error. XMLA commands that do not return a result return the EmptyResult data type, a namespace on the root element.

Example

The following example represents a root element returned for an empty result.

<return>
   <root xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis:empty"/>
</return>
