Instalation of Dabase of different version in same laptop

  • For practice purpose, can install, MS SQL SERVER 2005, 2008, 2008 R2 in my laptop. Do I need to focus in any thing before I install multiple version?

    I already have install, MS SQL Server 2008 R2 which run perfect in my laptop.

  • I have SQL 2008 R2 and Denali CTP 3 installed on my lap top, the only problem I have is remembering which SSMS icon to click on to start doing what I want to do, in which SQL version.

    If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

  • Not much of a problem - I have a assortment of different versions of SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL and MySQL on my personal laptop. I just make sure only one of them is active and running at any given time(*) so not to bring performance to its knees.

    (*) with the exception of these times when I'm trying to make a couple of them to communicate with each other.
