Can I have different SQL clients co-exist?

Can I have both SQL 6.5 client (Enterprise Manager, ISQL_w etc) and SQL 2000
(Enterprise Manager, SQL Analyzer) installed on the same machine?

I don't believe that is supported. You can do what you want using a tool
like VirtualPC from Microsoft or VMWare. That is, you can run a virtual
PC and install whatever you want and have the virtual session connect
with your main PC or other PCs on your network.

It is possible and usable, but due to the fact that SQL Server 6.5 is no
longer supported by Microsoft, and Service Packs and hotfixes for SQL Server
2000 you may apply might break it.

|||Hi,
Yes, you install SQL 6.5 and SQL 2000 in same machine. As well as you can
execute ISQLW and Enterprise manager of both versions in parallel.
Note:
If you are installing SQL 2000 client in a machine with SQL 7 client, the
SQL 2000 setup program will overwrite your SQL 7 client tools.
But SQL 2000 client tools support all SQL 7 activities.
