    Hi,

    Direct answer is Yes. You can install SQL server in a BDC or PDC.
    Only thing is both PCD/BDC take more hardware resources for user
    authentication as well as there are few security issues
    So this may affect your database performance as well as security/
    Have a look into the below link.
