Dialect	Usage Optional, read/write String property Description Establishes the dialect used in the following situations: The dialect that the provider will use the first time that the provider tries to run a query. The dialect used for the execution errors returned as the result of query failures. The dialects available to this property are listed in the following table. NameValueDescription DBGUID_SQL C8B522D7-5CF3-11CE-ADE5-00AA0044773D The SQL parser has precedence. MDGUID_DM 62C58FED-CCA5-44F1-83B6-7B45682B3904 The DMX parser has precedence. MDGUID_MDX A07CCCD0-8148-11D0-87BB-00C04FC33942 The MDX parser has precedence. You can use the Dialect property when you expect that most of queries will use one particular dialect over any other. Query syntax can be similar for language dialects, such as DMX and SQL. Because the syntax can be similar, Analysis Services may not be able to infer the dialect from the query syntax. If a query does not run in one dialect, the Analysis Services instance may try to run the query again in a different dialect. If the Dialect property is set, Analysis Services returns query execution errors in the dialect that has precedence, even if the provider tries to run the query again in another dialect. For example, the Dialect property is set to MDGUID_DM. The provider first tries to run the query as a data mining query, but this query fails. The provider then resubmits the query as an SQL query. However, this SQL query also fails. Because the value of the Dialect property is MDGUID_DM, Analysis Services returns a data mining error message, not an SQL error message. If the Dialect property is not set, Analysis Services returns query execution errors in the dialect last used. For example, the Dialect property is not set, and a data mining query fails. The provider then resubmits the query as SQL. The SQL query also fails. Because the Dialect property is not set, the provider returns an SQL error message instead of a data mining error message. There is no default value for this property. This property can be used with the Discover and Execute methods.

This property supports the following SID types: User, Group, Alias, WellKnownGroup, Computer. There is no default value for this property. This property can be used with the Discover and Execute methods.
EndRange	Usage Optional, write-only Integer property Description Specifies a zero-based integer value corresponding to a CellOrdinal attribute value. (The CellOrdinal attribute is part of the Cell element in the CellData section of MDDataSet). Used together with the BeginRange property, the client application can use this property to restrict an OLAP dataset returned by a command to a specific range of cells. If -1 is specified, all cells from the cell specified in the BeginRange property are returned. The default value for this property is -1. This property can be used with the Execute method.
