Chucky,

no idea about Solaris but 64bit Oracle 817 is running fine on my 64bit HPUX 11 servers.
I had a couple of problems - one HPUX 64bit related, the other 'just a bug' but an upgrade to 817.4 solved the first and Oracle Support and I worked out a workaround for the second.
Basically it is stable.

Creating a database on 64bit and importing from 32 bit is not a problem. I've just spent the last three months preparing for and doing a large job of moving about 30 instances over from a 32 bit HP server to my spanking new 64 bit server - and reducing the number of instances on the way over :o)

Works like a charm.

Cheers,
Norman.

We are currently running Oracle 8.1.7r3 32-bit on Solaris 8 64-bit.

What does upgrading to 64-bit do for us?
Is 64-bit stable for production environments?
It is safe to upgrade in this manner:
install oracle 64-bit.
create a database
import a logical export from the 32-bit database

Thanks for any help,
CC
