Is it recommended/possible to run MSDE and sql server on the same server?
-
HI. I have been asked if it is recommended or even possible to run MSDE and SQL Server on the same server.
Thank you,
Juanita

actualy the engines are the same (msde has got some restrictions).
Concider it like running two instances of sqlserver. (cpu/memory/...)

It's certainly possible. They will of course compete for resources (cpu, memory, and disk) when both are under load.
I wouldn't recommend it for a production server.

As previous people have said, it is possible to run a mixture of MSDE and full SQL instances on the same machine.
Because of likely memory and CPU pressure, you should not run more instances than you really need. The main reasons why searate instances may be needed are: a) Different system collation requirements, b) Different authentication requirements where site standards require separate instances for this, c) Cluster requirements.
If you have 2 applications both wanting the same system requirements, you should normally run these in the same instance, as they will both perform faster in the same instance than in separate instances.

maybe this should be added :
If "legacy" is the only reason for the msde to live, migrate the databases to your sqlservers instance.
If the servicelevels of both instances match, and you find the databases can live together, you may want to ask the dev-teams or user-responsible if they aggree the migration of users and databases. Applications will have to connect to the sqlserver-instance.
- Databases can be migrated using sp_detach_db/sp_attach_db
If you're still on sql7, this can only be done if the instances have the same collation settings !
- You can copy the logins using :
select 'exec sp_addlogin ['
+ name
+ '],'
, password
, ', @encryptopt=skip_encryption'
from master..sysxlogins
- jobs can be scripted and implemented on the sqlserver-instance
- dts packages ... if there aren't to many, maybe migrate them manualy.
- also check alerts, mail-profiles, ...
prepare your action and walk through your checklist.
