Title: Oracle 32 Bit running on Solaris 64 Bit

As far as I am aware there is no advantage in 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

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
