Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Oracle 32 Bit running on Solaris 64 Bit
Is it possible that you have vendor software that doesn't support Oracle 64-bit? Before any decisions are made, I would compile a list of all vendor software on the box and also those used specifically for the application. Then research each vendor and ask if they are compatible with Oracle 64 bit.
Quick funny story....... a colleague of mine recently called a vendor to ask if their product (which we currenyly use in our system) was compatible with Oracle 9i.
Somehow, the technical support person was able to reply with a straight face:
Our product IS compatible with Oracle 9i.......... but.......... only if you do not use any Oracle 9i features.......
So......... you really need to talk to your vendors.

Subject: Oracle 32 Bit running on Solaris 64 Bit
Hi there!
We are running 32-Bit Oracle Software on Sun Solaris 8 (64-Bit).
What is the advantage of doing this?
Why don't we use 64-Bit Orlacle on 64-Bit Solaris?
Nobody here can answer my question and the systems were set up by a consultant. So nobody really knows why this was done... Since we are talking about productions systems, upgrading Oracle Software is not an option...
This is 8.1.7 on Sun Solaris.
Thanks,
Helmut
