Hi
Qs What do you mean by raw(4) / raw(8) ?
Does it mean Length of the Field Data Value ?
>From my Database :-
SQL> select saddr from v$session where rownum < 2
2 /
SADDR
--------
313941C0
CASE - Assuming on receiving a Database from a 3rd party
1) My Existing Installed ORACLE_HOME software is 64 - Bit
2) Assuming the Database Sent is a 32-Bit Database ( which i am Ignorant of )
Qs When i Bring up this 32-Bit Database using my 64-Bit Oracle Software will SADDR
Still
show raw(4) values ?
Thanks

Listers,
Here is a little summary of commands to identify the bit version of an o/s
and 2 methods of identifying whether a database is a 32 bit or 64 bit
installation
Operating System
Compaq Tru 64 - will be 64 bit
HP-UX /usr/sbin/swlist | grep -E '32|64' returns
HPUXEng64RT B.11.00.01 English HP-UX 64-bit Runtime
Environment if 64 bit
Sun isalist -v
If the return contains the phrase 'sparcv9' then it is a 64 bit o/s
Oracle Version
To check Oracle version - 2 methods
do a file on $ORACLEHOME/bin/oracle returns either ELF-32 or ELF-64
executable
Within sqlplus desc v$session and look for the definition of saddr (if
raw(4) then 32 bit else if raw(8) 64 bit)
