Is it safe to install SQL Server 2008 R2 and MySQL side-by-side on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition?

Question

这样的配置有什么缺点吗？

Answer 1

These two databases are totally separate entities and you should have no problems running both of them on the same machine.

Short story: I wanted to test Hibernate with various database dialects, so I ended up installing these databases on one machine:

• MS SQL server
• MySQL
• PostgreSQL
• Oracle
• DB2

and I had no problems with all of them running at once. Yes, it was a test server and the poor thing was totally running out of memory, but everything did work.

Only imaginable problem you could run into: configuring the same port for multiple databases. But you wouldn't do that, so it's not a problem.

Answer 2

Aside from the resources they would both consume (memory, disk, cpu); barring any purposeful conflicting configuration (by default they will listen on different ports), it would work fine.

Answer 3

据我所知，没有。我在同一框中同时使用MS SQL和MySQL作为我的网站，到目前为止没有任何问题（2年了！）

Answer 4

I have never run into an issue; they really don't step on each others' configurations at all.
