Hi *all
We have an 32 bit installation with SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition.
All is running fine since years.
This SQLServer does not contain any production data. We just use it for development (ETL, OLAP).
My question:
Do we run into problems if SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition R2 is installed on the same server as another instance ?
Maybe somebody already installed something similar.
A virtual server is not an option because this server will be replaced next year.
Thank You for any help.
Regards,
Marc

Can you do this? Yes, you can. Since it's only a dev server it shouldn't be too large a problem, but you really do have three things that don't like to share memory or cpu, all running on the same machine. But it'll work. I've had all four of the SQL Server versions running on a desktop. None of them run well, but they all run.

Thank you
Most of the time only 1 instance is running. So memory and cpu is not a problem.
