Can both MySQL and SQL both be installed on a web server?

[J Cellini]

Can a company installed both MySQL and SQL on one web server or will it cause conflicts?

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?

[bregent]

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.
