Are there any known issues with installing MariaDB on to a Windows Server which is already running MS SQL Server 2008 R2?
I need the two to safely work and co-exist with each other.
Thanks.

I am poorly experienced in SQL Server installations. I have already installed 2008r2 on Microsoft Windows 8.
Now I want to install MS SQL Server 2005, but I need both MS SQL Server 2008r2 and MS SQL Server 2005.
How can I install this?
You can install both versions on same computer..
From MSDN:
SQL Server supports multiple instances of the Database Engine, Analysis Services, and Reporting Services on the same computer. You can also upgrade earlier versions of SQL Server, or install SQL Server on a computer where earlier SQL Server versions are already installed.
There's a couple of problems here; firstly SQL 2005 isn't even compatible with Windows 8. Windows 7 you can just about get away with it with some patching. Next you need to install the instances and tools in version order. So SQL 2005, then SQL 2008.
You could try uninstalling SQL2008, but you'll probably find too many updates and bits have occurred to get back to a state that might allow you to try doing SQL2005.
My recommendation would be; format the host machine. Install Windows 8. Setup HyperV virtual machines for each version of SQL Server in an operating system that's more inline with the SQL product. Eg. Win2003 for SQL2005. Win2008 for SQL 2008.

I am trying to evaluate LocalDB. My computer already has SQL Server 2008 R2 Express on it (in addition to SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard and SQL Server 2008 Standard).
When I try to install LocalDB, it asks for confirmation to upgrade. So it is trying to upgrade by 2008 R2 Express to Localdb? And I hit no and didn't proceed further.
Can someone please point me to links where they explain what exactly happens? Will my 2008 R2 Express be gone forever? All databases will be upgraded to LocalDB? There will not be a Express service anymore?
I just want to use localdb as an addition, not as a replacement. Is this possible?
How are you trying to install LocalDB? If you do it via SSDT (SQL Server Development Tools), it won't touch any of your other instances of SQL Server. Also, remember that LocalDB is not an instance of SQL Server in the sense that your other instances are. It's essentially a process that spins up when needed (an attempt is made to connect to it) and shuts down when not needed. Therefore, it's not competing with your other SQL Server instances.
Can SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition be installed in the same server environment as SQL Server 2005?
Thank you!
Indeed they can. SQL Server CE is an embeddable database that runs inside your application process. It does not interact with other processes. You can even have multiple SQL CE applications running on the same machine.
I have SQL Server 2008 and VS2008 installed on my computer and I am trying to run a web application I've created on a computer which has SQL Server 2008 and VS2008 and VS2010 beta 2 with its SQL Server Express.
I am getting an error with the database version that is
"...aspnetdb.mdf" cannot be opened because it is version 655. This server supports version 612 and earlier...."
Configuring the database in Visual Studio ->Tools -> Options -> Design-Time Validation Database is not working since I don't have the SQL Server version comes with VS 2010.
EDITED : I also edited aspnetdb and inserted a few more tables so I need the same aspnetdb
Is there any solution to convert this db ?
Also, after fixing this, I am looking forward to upload it on my hosting which has SQL Server 2005 DB and configure it in PLESK.
The SQL Server databases have a version specific format. Each SQL Server runtime version (SQL 2008 SP1, SQL 2008 RTM, SQL 2005 SP2, SQL 2005 SP1, SQL 2005 RTM etc) knows how to upgrade to its own verison. Unfortunately, once upgraded the database cannot be downgraded. So if your MDF was upgraded to version 655, it cannot be downgraded to any prior version. If you know you're going to deploy on SQL Server 2005, you must develop on SQL Server 2005 too. Not only that, but the actual build number of your development has to match the build number of the deployment (or at least be lower than that): the SP level and CU level must match.
You can a attach the 2008 version MDF you created to a SQL Server 2008, script out the database content, then import the script into a SQL Server 2005 database of the proper version.
I had this problem and when I changed my_computer_name\SQLEXPRESS with . to connect to server and it works and I could attach MDF file
may be you have both services run. (Mssql2008 and mssqlexpress) Maybe you have runing the mssqlespress running, that's the error that you have. Try to stop the mssqlserver express service and run mssql2008 services, and attach again your databases. I try this and works for me
We have a production web and database server with SQL Server 2000. (However, a few clients they have their own servers with SQL 2005.) So we have local installs of SQL 2005 Express for development on Windows XP SP3 boxes (which don't allow SQL 2000 Enterprise installations).
We often need to copy SQL 2000 databases to SQL 2005 instances. In the past, we have used the SQL Publishing tool (also mentioned here). However, one of our databases is so big that using that tool fails as it creates SQL scripts that get too large for Management Studio to handle them properly. Besides, it takes too long... :)
We would use the Copy Database Wizard included with SQL 2005, but our development machines run SQL 2005 Express which don't included SQL Server Agent, which is required for Copy Database Wizard to work. So, I guess our solution will be to upgrade our development installs with the full version of SQL 2005 (we have an MSDN subscription of course).
I was wondering what other solutions, if any, work well for you guys? (Besides complaining to the bosses to upgrade our production servers to 2005 or even 2008--which I've already tried.)
Back it up in SQL Server 2000 and then use the RESTORE WITH MOVE command into 2005 Express.
