2000 and 2008 on the same workstation?

[barbola]

I have SQL2000 installed on my workstation. It is not the server.

Can I install SQL2008 also just to create a new database to work with and test or will this cause major problems?

The 2008 install will not be connected to a SQL server (for now). Or maybe it has to be? In which case I am SOL.

If you are asking can you install SQL Server Database Engine 2008 on your machine (not just the client tools), then the answer is yes.
It will create a named instance and will run seperatly to SQL2000.
