SQL Server & MSDE on same machine?

Can an individual computer be configured contain both a SQL Server
instance & an MSDE instance?

Our software we charge separate costs depending if they are running on
a MSDE or SQL Server edition, and if they already have SQL Server
running (which they may have installed for some other application), can
we install our MSDE instance on the same machine?

And on the flip side, if they already have a machine that has an MSDE
instance, can the SQL Server install be done over top of that without
affecting the MSDE?

Thanks for any help,
Greg

You can install several instances of SQL Server of the same machine,
and that can be a mix of different editions, including MSDE.

What you cannot do, though, is to use the graphical tools from
standard/enterprise edition to access MSDE. Technically, it works
all right, but it violates the license agreement.

I'm writing an application using VB 6.0 as the front-end GUI, and the MSDE version of SQL Server as the back-end (it's a program for a really small # of users --- less then 3-4). I'm trying to determine, through the Visual Basic interface, the permissions of each user that's using the application on his/her machine. For example, let's say I'm user "Michael" that's sitting down at my machine using the app. I've written. The security...

I have developed a small application using ASP.NET and VB.NET on my development machine it works great.

I want to create an application that can be used both for a server-client model as well as a standalong application. The idea is to write a general server-client application. The standalong then just has both components on the same system. Now the question is if this is a good approach or if this is even doable. For instance do web services have requirements that would prevent them from running on a non-server OS? Any input? Rob

Hello, all, I started out thinking my problems were elsewhere but as I have worked through this I have isolated my problem, currently, as a difference between MSDE and SQL Express 2005 (I'll just call it Express for simplicity). I have, to try to simplify things, put the exact same DB on two systems, one running MSDE and one running Express. Both have 2 Ghz processors (one Intel, one AMD), both have a decent amount of RAM (Intel system...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
