sql server misc : Can I install more then one copy of MSDE on a server?
You can install up to 16 instances of MSDE (I think that is still
correct -someone correct me if I'm wrong.) on the same server. However, each additional instance will have a variation in the instance name. For example, if your server is MyServer, the first installation of MSDE (or SQL Server) will be know as MyServer. When you install a second instance of MSDE, you are required to provide an 'instance' name (e.g., Accounting). Then that server/instance will be referred to as MyServer\Accounting. You have to use the compounded name in all connection strings, etc. That may not be a simple issue for many third party applications. (I would hope so -but I've learned to be pessimistic about the skills of a lot of programmers.)

Yes, one instance of MSDE (which is a version of SQL Server) can handle
quite a few databases. Depends on hardware, traffic, etc., subject to the MSDE sizing limitations. -- Arnie Rowland, YACE* "To be successful, your heart must accompany your knowledge." *Yet Another Certification Exam [quoted text, click to view] "Clayton" <none@none.com> wrote in message news:OOhog.362227$Az2.335116@fe10.news.easynews.com... > Can both apps. share the same MSDE install? > > TIA, > > Clayton > > > "Clayton" <none@none.com> wrote in message > news:DNhog.34477$Bh2.16824@fe07.news.easynews.com... >> Or can I just use the same MSDE for the new app.?

Yes, you can. It just requires a different instance name than the other
installed instances. -- Tom ---------------------------------------------------- Thomas A. Moreau, BSc, PhD, MCSE, MCDBA SQL Server MVP Toronto, ON Canada ..

That depends on the app. The app may expect a particular instance name, for
example. -- Tom ---------------------------------------------------- Thomas A. Moreau, BSc, PhD, MCSE, MCDBA SQL Server MVP Toronto, ON Canada ..

We are running a Windows 2003 domain. I have a Windows 2003 member server
running an app. and MSDE. I now have another app. that I would like to install on this same server. The new app. also needs MSDE. My question is can I install and run more then one copy of MSDE? Is there anything I need to know about doing it? TIA, Clayton
Or can I just use the same MSDE for the new app.? Can MSDE have more the
one DB? TIA, Clayton [quoted text, click to view] "Clayton" <none@none.com> wrote in message news:zEhog.34345$Bh2.22632@fe07.news.easynews.com... > We are running a Windows 2003 domain.

Can both apps. share the same MSDE install?

Cool, thanks guys. I have to go live with this thing (BlackBerry) within
