Starting with SQL Server 2000, you can have multiple instances of SQL Server installed on one computer/server. An instance is just one particular installation. It has its own set of binaries, data files, ..., practically everything except common files.

Sir? Okay. I hate when people make assumptions. It may be a male dominated field, but there are females in the field too.

You're welcome, glad to help.
