Can we host other databases on the server hosting a standalone instance of PostgreSQL for Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows?

[David_Friend]

Question: If I have previously unbundled PostgreSQL from Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows, can I host other databases on the same server?

Answer: While technically possible, Qlik does not advise running additional databases on the same host or from the same PostgreSQL instance. Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows can create demanding read/write traffic against the database, meaning the PostgreSQL instance should remain dedicated.
