SQL Express 2005 & 2008

    I am running SQL Express 2005 (build 9.00.3042). This houses our AV database.

    I am going to install Blackberry Server Enterprise Express on the same box.

    Options: Install SQL Express 2005 SP3 or SQL Express 2008 SP1.

    If I chosse SQL Express 2008 SP1 will it coexist with the 2005 instance?

    Advice as always appreciated.

    Phil.

    I have both running on my laptop, with no problem.

    It won't be a problem, only thing while applying SP's make sure you select right SQL server version for applying hotfix's otherwise it will fail. I would recommend to keep all instance same SQL version if possible.

    Thanks for the input.

    I decided on SQL Express 2005 SP3.

    Thanks,

    Phil.
