SQL7 with SQL6.5 client tools

[Richard Stoll]

I`m planning on installing sql7 beta on my desktop. Currently I have sql6.5 client tools installed on my desktop for performing DBA tasks against our test and prod. sql6.5 servers. Does anyone know if installing sql7 will conflict with my sql6.5 client tools or cause any other problems?

Thanks

SQL Server 7 Beta 3 is good about co-existing with other 6.5 servers. It will import all of your 6.5 server registration information. When you click on a 6.5 server in the new Enterprise Manager, it will launch the old Enterprise Manager in a child window. You should be in good shape as long as you don`t uninstall the existing 6.5 stuff on your workstation. By the way, by default, SQL Server 7 will put its files in c:mssql7 so it won`t overwrite stuff in c:mssql.
