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.

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 =
