I have to use SQL Server Analysis Services to apply clustering and regression alog's on my data and make an analysis. I have sql server 2008 R2 installed but SQL Server Analysis Services are not installed.
Do i have to install 'Business Intelligence Development Studio' or what should i install to use analysis services.
In short I have to make a trained clustering model based on my data and then use that model from c# desktop application.Is SQL Server Analysis Services the right choice for doing that?
Analisys Services is a server component and should be installed on your SQL Server instance. Then you can use BI Development Studio to create SSAS projects.
Update.
SSAS is included in Standart and Enterprse editions of SQL Server 2008. Here is feature list for SQL Server 2008, specificaly look for Multi-Dimentional Analysis and Data Mining.
Here is article on New Installation of SSAS.

When subscribing to the Azure SQL SaaS. Can I get access to SSIS and SSRS?
SSIS: Does a Azure SQL subscription allow me to build SSIS package on my local computer.
SSRS: Do I need another on-premises license to run a reporting server? As I understand, there is no SaaS version for SSRS, does this mean I will have to buy a full SQL server license for reporting?
Thank you in advance.
Microsoft's SaaS offering for BI and Reporting is Power BI. Which is adding support for traditional SSRS reports, and self-service data flows. See announcement here.
And if for all SQL Server development, you can always use the free SQL Server Developer Edition and SQL Server Data Tools on your local machine.
You need to have a VM to run SSRS which means you need IAAS. For SSIS you have Azure support using Integration Runtime means you would be using SSIS Catalog in Azure SQL Database.
When you procure a VM, you could always opt for VM with Sql Server installed else you could bring your own licensed version with you. Also there is the free Sql Server Developer edition available for solely personal usage. For SSIS, not really that you have to make the development in cloud - you would be using SSDT and then publish your packages to cloud.

I have installed the free version of SQL Server 2008 (without SPs) and I am looking for a way to add Business Intelligence Development System (BIDS). Can this be done or do I need to install a different free version? I am just trying to learn about SSIS, SSRS and SSAS.
I think you need SQL Server Express with Advanced Services which I believe includes BIDS (a limited version). You can find it here.
I have two sql server database at two different locations. Source is developer edition of sql server and destination is web edition of sql server. Can i create ssis package in developer edition, for data transfer from developer to web edition.
Yes*, you can create an SSIS package in the Developer Edition and it will transfer data between the developer edition database and the web edition just fine. It will be a straight data transfer between two SQL Server instances.
That pesky asterisk though, that might be make this a No answer. The Web edition is not licensed for Integration Services. There is the import/export wizard which builds an SSIS package but if you persist it and execute the package, then it will fail as the machine will report it does not have the right components installed. It's certainly nothing you can schedule. You might think that you can make an end-around and run the SSIS package from the development server but that will likely violate your license as the dev license is not supposed to communicate with production systems.

SQL Server 2008R2
SQL Server 2008
Summary
There is no technical restriction preventing an SSIS package from pushing from a developer edition to an web edition but there is likely a legal restriction for doing so.
YMMV, IANAL, consult your licensing agent.
I am using visual c# 2010 express edition and sql server 2008 R2 Express to develop a software. Now I need to create reports in c# based on the data that is stored in the sql database.
Based on this link : SQL 2008 R2 Express install option
I have the version "Database with Management Tools" installed. That is, the one which is 235 MB.
Now my requirements are that the software, which is written in c#, must be able to generate reports based on the data that is found in the sql database.
My questions are:
Must I install the Database with Advanced Services version (727 MB) to be able to use the MS SQL Reporting services?
Considering that I am using express editions for both c# and sql server, will I be able to make my software use the reporting services of MS SQL SERVER 2008 R2 Express? I have no experience in this but I have read somewhere that report viewer is not available in the express edition. Will that prevent me from using the reporting services?
If not, do you guys have any recommendations to other reporting tools that I might use? I need to generate reports containing graphs (free tools as long as possible, this is my dissertation project).
Thank you.
I wouldn't bother with full Reporting Services: I'd consider using the ReportViewer control in local mode in my app instead
This means you don't need SSRS installed at all: it's embedded in your app.
I'm doing data migration between two SQL Server 2008 database using SSIS because I need to do some data transformation. I guess I need to use Business Intelligence Developement Studio which I have on my develop machine. But because I don't have SQL Server Standard Edition on my develop machine. The BIDS do not allow me to build the SSIS package. Is there any work around? Thanks a lot in advance!
When you installed BIDS, did you also install the client tools for SQL Server?
Alternatively, you could remote to the dev server and devlop the package directly on the server.
You would normally install SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition on your development box.
SQL Server 2008 Developer enables
developers to build and test
applications that run on SQL Server on
32-bit, ia64, and x64 platforms. SQL
Server 2008 Developer includes all of
the functionality of Enterprise
Edition, but is licensed only for
development, test, and demo use.
