They play happily together (I had 8i,9i,10 and SQL2000 on the same laptop
for a while). The only 'conflicts' will be the resource conflicts and if you
install tools that know about sql2k, or Oracle only, that busily acquire all
.sql etc file extensions. Oh and if you install too much db software your
PATH is likely to exceed the windows limit and various things might silently
break.
