RE: Oracle 32 Bit running on Solaris 64 Bit
Helmut We run both on the same box, but only in dev. If my memory serves me correctly, there's a metalink note about it which recommends NOT using 64-bit oracle unless you need the increased memory addressing. We needed to increase the size of the shared pool above what we would use in 32-bit to avoid 'unable to allocate x bytes of shared memory' errors. It may also be slightly slower.

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.

RE: Oracle 32 Bit running on Solaris 64 Bit
Title: RE: Oracle 32 Bit running on Solaris 64 Bit 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.

RE: Oracle 32 Bit running on Solaris 64 Bit
Title: Oracle 32 Bit running on Solaris 64 Bit As far as I am aware there is no advantagein running 32 s/w on a 64 bit o/s. In fact the reverse is true, there could be significant disadvantages. Any impact would be at a very low level and not noticeable from a user perspective (unless data became corrupted :) Check on Metalink or log a TAR John -Original Message-From: Daiminger, Helmut [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: 06 June 2002 15:28To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-LSubject: Oracle 32 Bit running on Solaris 64 Bit Hi there!

RE: Oracle 32 Bit running on Solaris 64 Bit
Title: Oracle 32 Bit running on Solaris 64 Bit Seems to me that patches and upgrades for the 32-Bit versions come out quicker.One disadvantage of the 32-Bit version is if you require more than 2Gb of shared memory (SGA for all instances on the box). I've stuck with the 32-Bit versions except at one site where we had 8Gb of real memory and the PHB and the PH Lead DBA insisted on using as much of it as they could (which turned out to be an exceptionallybad idea, but that's another story).

RE: Oracle 32 Bit running on Solaris 64 Bit
Title: Oracle 32 Bit running on Solaris 64 Bit Have to go to Uncle Larry and ask him why they can't get there softwarerunning in 64bit. Oracle Appsonlyavailable 32 Bit. We had the same questions as well. I guess Apps 11i has so many problems and issues they don't have time to get a 64 Bit version out. We have the same thing here 32 bit Software on Sun 64 Bit machine. Advantage, maybe you have other software running 64 bit on the same machine. Maybe someday Oracle will have Apps and other software running at 64 Bit.
