All,

I've installed what is allegedly 64bit oracle on 64bit solaris x86-64
platform.

The actual s/w I've installed is from
     10201_database_solx86_64.zip
so that seems promising.

The o/s seems to be on board too:
$ isainfo
amd64 i386

I created a db, and went ahead and applied the patchset:
     p4547817_10202_Solaris86-64.zip

The binaries seem to be 64-bit:
$ file oracle
oracle:         ELF 64-bit LSB executable AMD64 Version 1, dynamically
linked, not stripped

**BUT** I am not getting love from the banner, or v$version, where
/thought/ the 64-bitedness is supposed to be celebrated:

$ sqlplus system

Anybody else out there have collaborating data?

Am I, or am I not 64-bit?

Thanks.
