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 exceptionally bad idea, but that's another
story).

Subject: Oracle 32 Bit running on Solaris 64 BitHi 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
