Specifying item constraints

For backward compatibility with IM Modeling V8.2, the data mining features in data warehousing in Db2® Version 9.7.3 support the methods that are shown in the following table to specify item constraints. These methods are deprecated in the data mining features of data warehousing in Db2 Version 9.7.3, because the type DM_RuleFilter provides more powerful methods for specifying item constraints.
