Re: FW: Postgres alongside MS SQL Server

Hello,

Well it of course depends on what you are doing. Traditionally I would
say, "Are you nuts?" but it really depends
on what you are doing. It is all about risk... if PostgreSQL freaks out
and takes out the machine, what will happen
to the MS SQL server? What about cost associated with downtime?

The same goes for if the MS SQL server takes out the machine? How
important is what PostgreSQL is doing?

Considering you could put together a box that will outperform
PostgreSQL/Cgwin running Linux for about 700 bucks.
Why not just get a new machine and not risk the exposure?

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
