SQl server 2005 64 bit on windows 2003 standard 32 bit?

  • Anybody try installing 64 bit SQl 2005 on windows 2003 32 bit?

    Is this viable or just plain stupid?

  • No, and No. The x64 version needs the x64 verions of the OS, which requires that it be installed on x64 hardware.

  • Pardon my lack of knowledge. Is it possible to backup a 64 bit 2005 database and restore it on 32 bit sql2005?
