Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: a couple of questions
Rachel -
We were running 64-bit Oracle here for a while, but I decided against it. I knew that we weren't going to need the features that the 64bit version would buy us. That, coupled with the fact that the 64 bit versions of the software are usually the *last* to be patched, kept me on the 32-bit version.

Okay, I'm working on what feels like 30 new projects all at once and I WILL be RTFM'ing as soon as I can get more than 5 minutes out of meetings but....
first: has anyone heard of any problems with 64-bit Oracle on a Solaris 64-bit OS?
second (and this one confuses me a bit)... I've been asked if Oracle9i supports a "variant" datatype -- they are not familiar with oracle but are familiar with SQL Server and say that there is a datatype called "variant" there where you can basically overload the column with whatever datatype you want (string, number, date) and the database knows what type of data it is storing within the column. They referred me to C++ and Java, neither of which I know.
Can anyone point in the right direction to start researching this?
Thanks!
Rachel
