MSDE & WMSDE

What is the diffrence between MSDE 2000 and WMSDE? I have two applications
that require these databases and I am concerned there might be issues in
using them on the same server:
SmarterTicket / MSDE 2000
Windows SharePoint Services / WMSDE
Thanks - Jody

WMSDE is a customized version of MSDE 2000 distributed along with and only
available with SharePoint...
it has been modified to fit SharePoint needs and you should avoid using it
for your own databases..
I do not have a WMSDE eula available, but I think it prohibits a shared use
with other apps and related databases..
install 2 separated instances, 1 of WMSDE to be used by SharePoint and
another MSDE one to be used by your other apps.

In reference to you comment:
"...it has been modified to fit SharePoint needs and you should avoid using

Do you mean that I should avoid using WMSDE with WSS or along side of
SmarterTicket becasue it uses MSDE?
Thanks - Jody

I mean WMSDE should be used only by SharePoint and let SmarterTicket uses
another MSDE instance ..
