Hello everyone, just a quick question. I got Sql server 2008 r2 running in four different server, now I would like to build another instance to develop some stuff. I'm wondering if there can be any issue using another instance in one of the servers: I know that I must set the tcp port in a different way (probably I'm going to leave the tcp port free keeping the main instance with the port 1433). Moreover, do you thin can I use a simple desktop and not a server? I worked a lot in SSIS and SSAS recently but I don't have a lot of experience about DBA. I even thought to install a SQL 2012 Express edition but I dunno if there is any bad compatibility.
Any experience guys?
