The simple answer to your question is "Yes". I have had both Oracle8 and SQL Server 6.5 running on the same NT server concurrently, and it does "work".

But keep in mind, you will be faced with several tuning issues for which there is no easy solution. Both Oracle & SQL Server tend to be resource intensive, and it is difficult to tune one database when you don't want to impact performance on the other database. This applies to any type of multiple-vendor database installation on a server, not just Oracle & Microsoft.

Thanks!
