We run both on the same box, but only in dev. If my memory serves me correctly, there's a metalink note about it which recommends NOT using 64-bit oracle unless you need the increased memory addressing. We needed to increase the size of the shared pool above what we would use in 32-bit to avoid 'unable to allocate x bytes of shared memory' errors. It may also be slightly slower.

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
