Hi,
I have installed SQL standard Edition in my computer for one project. We want to kick off a new project, and intend to use SQL Express, Will anybody advise me whether I can install SQL express when SQL Standard Edition is there? or I need to remove SQL standard Edition first and install SQL express?
Thanks a lot

Yes absolutely you can install them side-by-side. You are limited in the number and flavors of SQL Server installs really only by your hardware capabilities. The one caveat is that each beyond the first will have to be named uniquely as you can only have one default instance running. I have SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2005 Express, and SQL Server 2005 Developer on the same machine and haven't had any problems.|||
Hi,
yes you sure can do this. The new SQL Express instance will have a different port number′, so if you want to connect to this instance you either have to name the port number after the instance name by using the syntax Machinename\InstanceName,Portnumber or start the SQL Browser service which wil redirect the client automatically to the appropiate port number during connection time.
