SQLServer & SQLBase

  • Does anyone know if it is possible to run an installation of SQLServer and SQLBase on the same server?  Thanks for any input.

  • Absolutely.   I have performed hundreds of SQLBase to SQL Server migrations while employed at a leading ERP software provider.  One thing to keep in mind is to manage memory resources accordingly when running both databases at the same time by limiting the amount of physical memory allocated to SQL Server.  SQLBase 8.1 and earlier, even when configured with the maximum cache and sortcache settings allowable will never use more than @160M of RAM.  Since SQLBase will only make use of one processor, I also set the affinity on multi processor servers.  It you are running SQLBase 8.5 or 9, the cache setting can be configured to use up to one gig of RAM, so be careful.  The servers I have dedicated for migration purposes actually run Oracle 9 or 10 Enterprise, SQLBase 8.1 and SQL Server 2000 Enterprise concurrently.

  • Thanks for the info!

  • Your welcome.
