Running SQL Express 2005 side by side with SQL 7 Standard?

    Is it possible to run 2005 and 7.0 on the same box if I configure 2005 to listen on a different port number?

    Also the 4 GB limit on database size for 2005 does that mean the whole instance of the server installation or individual databases? So if I have 50 databases each one of those could be anywhere south of 4 GB each?

    Thanks!

    Hey Ryan,

    I've never tried this, but I don't know of a reason that SSEE would not run side-by-side with SQL Server 7.0.  If you have the 7.0 instance configured as the default instance, just install SSEE as a named instance.

    Regarding the file size limitation, the 4gb limitation refers to database size, not the SSEE installation itself.

    Hope this helps...
