Are there any available KDD ready-to-go, algorithms in MS-SQL server 2005, 2008?

Well, there certainly are tons of excellent resources to start with in terms of understanding what's available, how to use it, where to use it, etc. And yes, there are pre-packaged algorithms included with both Sql 2005 and 2008, including:

• Microsoft Decision Trees
• Microsoft Naive Bayes
