I have Microsoft SQL Server Management application and I was wondering how I install data mining onto it. Do I need a separate application, do I need to download an add-in? Let me know, thank you in advance.

    Hi,

    First of all, SSMS AKA Microsoft SQL Server Management application is just a management tool. To use Data Mining , you need to install SQL Server.

    Which version of SQL Server have you installed?

    For the versions before SQL Server 2017, you need to fully install SSAS - Analysis service to have data mining features.

    For SQL Server 2017 and SQL Server 2019 , you need to install Machine Learning Service to have this feature.

    Download SQL Server.

    Hope this helps a bit.
