I'm new to Data Mining but not that new to SQL Server. I'm looking for best resources to get me what I want as fast as possible. I want to know about SQL Server Data Mining. Is there any resource(s) you would recommend? I appreciate your help.
Look at http://www.sqlserverdatamining.com/ssdm/, which is run by the SQL Server Data Mining product team at Microsoft and has tutorials, whitepapers, articles, tips and tricks, and downloads. Also, take a look at the book "Data Mining with Microsoft SQL Server 2008"; it was coauthored by members of the product team.
I also always recommend, if it's your first time out of the gate with the feature, that you go through the tutorials in Books Online. They give you a broad overview of the features involved in data mining and some initial hands-on experience. Certainly not enough to make you an expert, but enough to give you a basic idea of how data mining works.
I recommend the book Data Mining with SQL Server 2008 - (Disclaimer - I wrote it with a colleague while I was the dev manager for SSAS, but it is the best SQL DM book!)
Also look at my blog (this is a good post digest - http://jamiemaclennan.blogspot.com/2010/03/dmx-posting-digest.html)

I am currently working on a project in ASP.Net Core which will have a large number of user in the future. Also, the application is being made through Agile Process, so that I have to be prepared for many changes and up-gradations in the future.
First, I was planning to use a MS SQL Server Database but recently I have seen that how awesome features MongoDb is providing especially for a developer. But, I have a confusion that using I MongoDb database will slow down my application when it become widely used by the people.
So, I am here to get some suggestions on choosing the database for my application.
MongoDB is one of the most popular document stores available both as a fully managed cloud service and for deployment on the self-managed infrastructure but it is Document store DB and SQL Server is Relational DBMS.
Performance highly depends on your requirement and design.

i want tool for to generate DB diagram below, i need to generate particular db tables structure like below,
how can i do that?...is there any free tool or application is available for that. i already tried navicat8lite_ora_en and HeidiSQL. but i can't make it work.
Yes you can generate ERD with PHPMyAdmin. PHPMyadmin added this functionality from version 3.4
detail step to generate ERD: http://sforsuresh.in/generating-erd-using-phpmyadmin/
You can refer to PHPMyAdmin documentation for more info: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation/#pmadb
MySQL Workbench will reverse engineer and engineer scripts for you. Output will be similar to what you have above, but not identical.
Try Vertabelo. It's an online database modeler working under Chrome. It is:
free to use,
OS independent,
allows versioning,
supports model validation,
generates SQL scripts for particular database:
allows sharing your DB model with other members of your team,
allows reverse engineering - so you can easily migrate your database to Vertabelo,
suports following databases:
PostgreSQL,
MySQL,
Oracle,
IBM DB2,
HSQLDB,
MS SQL Server.

I am looking for a book that only addresses the new development features of Sql Server 2008. I had read "A First Look at Sql Server 2005 for Developers" years ago but cannot find an equivalent book.
There is a nice list here
http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/whats-new.aspx
You could also just check out MS books online and see the new features. You can use any of the above to dive deeper into any topic.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb500435.aspx
I picked this one up recently and it has a good focus on 2008 specific items:
http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Microsoft-Server-2008-PRO-Developer/dp/0735625999/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1242660997&sr=8-1
Apress has good books: http://www.amazon.com/Accelerated-Server-2008-Robert-Walters/dp/1590599691/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1242658972&sr=1-6
This one seems to be good too: http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft%C2%AE-Server%C2%AE-2008-Step-Microsoft/dp/0735626049/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1242658972&sr=1-7
The new development features in SQL 2008 don't really merit a whole book by themselves, with one exception - geospatial data. If you're using geospatial, then check into specific books on that, but otherwise the improvements aren't really book-worthy.
Andy Warren wrote up a short review of one 2008 developer-focused book, but that's the only review I've seen from a SQL expert focusing on a 2008 developer book.
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/blogs/andy_warren/archive/2009/03/10/book-review-murach-s-sql-server-2008-for-developers.aspx
I went with two books which I can now recommend to others:
1) Microsoft Sql Server New Features by Michael Otey
http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft%C2%AE-Server-2008-Features-Microsoft/dp/0071546405/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1245288147&sr=8-1
2) Programming Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (PRO-Developer)
Covers new features of both 2005 and 2008 and in greater detail.
http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Microsoft-Server-2008-PRO-Developer/dp/0735625999/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1245288368&sr=1-1

I have a MSSQL2005 DB with about 140 tables. I want to create either an accessible diagram or a printable API type document with the table structure. Is there a program that offers this kind of db visualization?
I find the diagramming built into SQL Server to be very clunky and very inaccessible for my DB size.
Take a look at SQL Doc.
I always used Visio for this type of thing.
I like Toad Data Modeler for this. It reverse-engineers Microsoft SQL Server databases (and other brands of databases too), but more than that, you can start making your modeling changes inside the tool and it'll generate change scripts.
If you use somebody else's tool, make sure that you can round trip changes - meaning, if you put all the time and effort into getting your documentation right, and then you change the database inside SQL, can you re-import your changes from the database without overwriting your work in the documentation tool? Most of 'em don't do that, but Toad Data Modeler does.
(Disclaimer - I work for Quest. I used this program before Quest bought it, though, and always loved it.)

I was looking to explore the spatial capabilities of PostGIS or SQL Server 2008. Maybe Oracle as well.
I was wondering if there are any good tutorials out there exploring the spatial capabilities of these database in particular or of this type of capability in general.
Does anyone know of any? Book recommendations would work as well.
I wrote a little blogpost about SQL Server geography data type here: SQL Server 2008 Proximity Search With The Geography Data Type
This isn't a tutorial, bit it's a good comparison of the various offerings, to see how they stack up against one another:
Spatial Database Cross Compare
A great introduction to SQL Server 2008 Spatial in 8 parts. Projections, geography / geometry, spatial SQL functions etc.
http://www.jasonfollas.com/blog/archive/2008/03/14/sql-server-2008-spatial-data-part-1.aspx
A few extra links and SQL examples here - http://geographika.co.uk/sql-server-spatial-sql
Try http://www.bostongis.com/
They mostly cover Postgres/PostGIS, though they talk about SQL Server also. There are some pretty good examples.
The PostGIS manual is really good too, chapters 4 and 6 in particular, though it is all worth reading.
http://www.postgis.org/docs/ch04.html
PostGIS again, but this book is really very comprehensive in its coverage of spatial sql, and many of the queries will port to other dbs, particularly Oracle -- as the Postgres devs have made an effort to be compatable with Oracle syntax, where possible. It starts with the basics, but some of the later examples are really very advanced.

You may be interested in ESRI's ArcSDE tutorials.
Edit: Sorry... I just read the question details. And this doesn't really answer your specific need. However, for people looking for an SDE tutorial that are using the ESRI products, they may find this useful.
While it doesn't specifically address SQL Server 2008, Boundless has a very good tutorial on PostGIS. I didn't use their OpenGeo Suite to follow along but instead adapted the examples to PostgreSQL which is what I use. In the end, I learned a lot from this tutorial paired with the PostGIS user manual.
