Hi Everyone,
I'm currently running ArcSDE 9.3.1 (SQL 2008) to host data for my ArcIMS 9.3.1 and ArcGIS Server 10 applications.  Since ArcMap Server is now history as of version 10 of IMS, I can't make 9.3.1 geodatabases go away for quite some time.  I'm looking for some options so that I can make use of ArcSDE 10.

If I upgrade to ArcSDE 10, but do not upgrade the geodatabases that I use to version 10, will this work?  I'm not clear if the version of the geodatabase or the actual version of the software is the issue here.

Otherwise, would I have to create a new instance of SQL Server?  Would SDE 9.3.1 and 10 run side-by-side on the same server?

I appreciate any advice other users could provide!
Dave
