Hi,

A was comparing SQL server versions and features and i noticed that in versions 2017 and 2016 Data warehouse features there is a feature:

-Create cubes without a database

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/editions-and-components-of-sql-server-2016?view=sql-server-ver15

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/editions-and-components-of-sql-server-2017?view=sql-server-ver15

But in SQL server 2019 there is no such feature.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/editions-and-components-of-sql-server-version-15?view=sql-server-ver15

is this feature disabled or imported in other feature?

BR,

Aleksandar

    Hi Aleksandar,
    No this feature is still there in SQL 2019. You could still create empty cube in SSAS /Data Warehouse.
