SQL 2008 Installation

  • Guys..am planning to download sql 2008 onto my machine. I already have SQL 2005 server up and running on my box. I want to have both instances ( 2005 and 2008) running on my box. is this possible?

    I would like to make sure that, installation of sql 2008 trial version will not have any impact on sql server 2005 which is already running on the box.

  • Is this a test machine where you are trying to install SQL 2008?

    If it is something not a test environment, I better would not do it and would not suggest you.

    Yes both the versions (2005 and 2008) can exist side by side on a single machine.
