Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: How to check if the Oracle server is running in 64-bit mode.
There are two ways to find the bit level with oracle 8i:
Copyright (c) 1997, 1999, Oracle Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.6.3.0 - Production
With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 8.1.6.3.0 - Production.
b. A 64 bit oracle server will return the banner: Oracle Server Manager Release 3.1.6.0.0 - Production
Copyright (c) 1997, 1999, Oracle Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.6.1.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 8.1.6.1.0 - 64bit Production.
