Can SQL Server7.0 be installed in XP Professional O/S

I would appreciate to know, Is it possibale to install
SQL Server7.0 or 2000 Server Components in XP Professioal
operating system. I have SP1 installed.
I want both the Server and Client components to be
installed on the same machine running XP Professional. Is
there any way...please let me know.
Thanks,
Sivatechnically, yes. it is however crippled. I had installed it (SQL2000) on my
laptop to test at home but it is missing some managment utils and you will
be limited to 10 connections inbound. it's not useful though and really just
drags you system down. (not worth the license).

Yes - they can, as long as you're installing the correct EDITION of SQL
Server for XP.
There's a list of which editions can be installed on which O/Ss here:

Short answer though is that you probably want Developer Edition if you're
developing databases, stored procs etc. It is cheap too - approx $50 I
believe..
