SQL?  Do you mean MS SQL or something else? I've had MySQL and other DBMS run on the same machine with no problem. I don't see why it would as long as they are on different ports.

I mean MS SQL Server. Can you have MS SQL server and mySQL on the same server? Any potential problems?

I can't imagine why there would be any problems. They are two completely different applications from different vendors. Of course if you are talking about a production environment, then there would be resource (memory/cpu) contention that could lead to performance problems. We use dedicated database servers for all of our production systems.
