Has anyone had any problems with Wordpress blog engine installation while having a website with a SQL Server DB already up and running? There is a warning in the control panel when using the installation button that the engine uses a MySQL db and if the tables are named the same as the ones that the engine might want to use they will be overwritten? My current website uses a MS SQL Server DB, will I have any problems if there is a same table that the blog engine needs to create? Also, if I give the directory www.domain.com/blog, will it affect any files at the root (my main web files sit in the root directory)? Any advice on Do's and Don't is much appreciated.
If you want to share a database between multiple applications, you will see this problem regardless if you are using MySQL or MSSQL. Wordpress tables have fairly unique names. It shouldn't conflict unless you have 2 wordpress installation using the database.
