Hi Gurus,
Is it ok to install both SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 on the same system without
any problem.
We just want to have some ideas before implementing it.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Yes, they do take up quite a bit of memory. I have yet to find another
danger, however. I have both up and running on the box I am typing this from,
as well as on my laptop. Have not had a problem on either over the past few
months.

I am not a guru, but I have SQL2000 and SQL2005 running on 2 XP pro
workstation and a 2003 Server without problems. Remember to make SQL2005 a
named instance or it will upgrade your SQL 2000 instead.

As long as they are different instances. If you install 2000 as default and
then install 2005, it will overwrite. If you install one, or the other (or
both), as an instance (not default), you are fine.
