Determing if the installed Oracle software is 32 bit or 64bit

DB version:10GR2
Is there a way to determine if the Oracle software installed is of 32-bit or 64-bit? I found
this
select
   length(addr)*4 || '-bits' word_length
from
   v$process
where
   ROWNUM =1;from: http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_32_bit_64_bit_check.htm
But is this correct?

You can see it just entering Sql*Plus :
*32bit*
$ sqlplus / as sysdba

  • How to find whether the installed sap software is 32 bit or 64 bit?

    How to find whether the installed sap software is 32 bit or 64 bit?
    Hi Community,
    We have Windows machine - 64 bit - x64. So, we can install either 32 bit or 64 bit sap software, both are supported, right. Now, a sap system is already installed on this machine and i would like to find out whether the sap software is 32 bit or 64 bit, how can i check?
    I have already seen under Menu System - Status - Other Kernel Info & at OS level, with the command disp+work but i cant find the info iam looking for.
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Mohan.

    Hi Sunny,
    Thank you very much for your quick reply.
    Didnt know that one has to look under "Compiled for".

  • How canI check the architecture of the installed Oracle software?

    Is there a way to check whether I have 32bit or 64bit version of Oracle software from within Oracle?
    I want to script in a check to see if the current Oracle Home where this database is running is either 32-bit or 64-bit. It is not good enough to check OS architecture, as some systems I manage have 64-bit OS but a combination of 32-bit and 64-bit Oracle Homes.
    I looked at v$parameter and could not find anything directly. SELECT platform_name FROM v$database does show architecture, but this only works on 10g and possibly 9i. On 8i, I cannot find any similar columns.
    select * from v$version also shows if a system is 64-bit or not (32-bit shows no string in banner to indicate 32-bit)
    But both the above methods are a bit vague: I do not know if they are simply greping the architecture from the OS or if they are examing the oracle binary?

    file oracle
    Onto the database, check v$session, if saddr columns is raw(4), then db is 32bit (4*8), if it is raw(8), db is 64bits (8*8).

  • Error in installing Oracle Software while adding node in RAC

    Hi All
    Oracle Version: 11.1.0.6.0
    Linux
    In the RAC environment, I am in the process of adding a node to the existing rac environment.
    I have succssfully installed cluster software in the new node. all gsd, ons and vip services are running perfectly for new node in the existing and new nodes.
    Next step, I started installing oracle software by executing the script $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/addNode.sh.
    Here after specifying the the new node information (public host, private host and vip details) and when I pressed next,
    OUI is giving following error - "Error occured while retrieving node numbers of the existing nodes. Please check if clusterware home is properly configured".
    I ran olsnodes -n, it is giving proper node number.
    Can somebody help me in identifying the problem and solution.
    Thanks

    I am hitting the same issue, my problem was when I added the new node initially it fails because of the hint8-priv1. I followed the link below to remove and cleanup the last install. olsnode show only my existing nodes NOT including the new node.
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B12037_01/rac.101/b10765/adddel.htm
    then I ran
    ./addNode.sh -silent CLUSTER_NEW_NODES={hint-8} CLUSTER_NEW_PRIVATE_NODE_NAMES={hint8-priv1} CLUSTER_NEW_VIRTUAL_HOSTNAMES={hint8-vip}
    I am getting this when use command line:
    Error ocurred while retrieving node numbers of the existing nodes. Please check if clusterware home is properly configured.
    SEVERE:Error ocurred while retrieving node numbers of the existing nodes. Please check if clusterware home is properly configured.
    also run addNode.sh via GUI, the new node name still listed and can't continue.
    BTW, adding new node should support online, shutdown is not required

  • Who will install ORACLE software on linux production environment?

    Hi Friends,
    there is a doubt for me on ORACLE software installation. i.e. who will install ORACLE software on linux production environment. either system admin or else ORACLE DBA.

    If SYS admin means how DBA parameters during installation.

    If SYS admin means how DBA parameters during installation.I have a doubt - about needing any parameters during a software-only install.
    Since every version of Oracle available now (except 11.2) needs patches, a new installation should not create the database right away. Therefore, a software-only install is the most reasonable thing to do. And if no DB configuration parameters are required at s/w-only time, then it makes somewhat sense for the SysAdmin to do the install.
    Therefore, it makes sense to me that the two groups (DBA and SA) might want to work ... together. (ROFLMAO)

  • Steps to Install oracle 11g client 32 Bit,64 Bit in a single server

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to Install Both "Oracle Client 11.2.0.2 Win32" and "Oracle Client 11.2.0.2 Win64" on a single server.
    Please provide the step by step instruction for the above requirement.
    Environment
    Windows Server 2008 R2 64Bit.
    Thanks
    Sambit

    Just use separate base directories e.g.
    c:\32bit\oracle and
    c:\64bit\oracle
    Install the 32-bit client first, then the 64-bit client. The order should not matter.

  • How to find if a Oracle software is 32-bit or 64-bit

    Is there a easy way to find out if Oracle software is 32-bit or 64-bit ?

    yes, if it's 64-bit version, it shows in v$version & for 32-bit it will not specify this exlicitely.
    There is another interesting method to find this wordsize.
    Query v$sqltext, and take the address information of the SQL. If the total length of ADDRESS column is 8
    ( eg: 78D049E4)
    , this means that wordsize=8*4=32, since 1 hexadecimal character = 4 bits.
    similarly, in 64-bit Oracle, you will get addresses with a length of 16. ( 16*4 = 64)

  • How to install oracle software on AIX server

    Hi
    I have one remote AIX 5.3 server .
    On this I want to install oracle 9.2 software.
    I connect by putty to get this server but How i can get graphical interface of oracle installation?

    Please guide me.
    Thanks.

    What I normally do is:
    - start via the putty session (loged in with the software install user) vncserver
    - give a password for the user.
    - on your desktop client you startup vnc viewer (can be downloaded free from internet)
    - use the machine ip/name and the earlyer given password
    - you have a graphical environment on AIX

  • Solaris 8 in ultra 2 got panic and auto reboot when install Oracle software

    Dear all,
    I installed Solaris 8 by selecting 'Entire Solaris Software Group' and select 32 bit support only in an old ultra II machine. Then I tried to install Oracle 8.1.7 in the same machine but machine always got panic and started auto reboot when Oracle installed about 17% or 20% or even 70% (I tried install the minimum of Oracle).
    What is the problem? Anyone can help?
    Thanks in advance,
    Vicky

    I think you need to check the parameters like SHMMAX etc in /etc/system file as recommanded by oracle if not already added you need to add them .Oracle manuals have a list of these parameters and don't forget to reboot and boot with boot -r after adding these parameters.
    Make sure you have sufficient memory or some patch recommanded by Oracle .

  • Which account use to install Oracle software?

    Hi!
    Windows 2003 Server SP2
    Oracle 10gR2
    I have a question to experience Oracle database administrators...
    Is there any differences between installing RDBMS from "Administrator" account and installing RDBMS from separate account with administrators privilege?
    I'm not asking about procedures of installation.
    I suspect that creator in file system will be different.
    There will be any other differences? In registry hive? In files of installed software?
    If Oracle software will be installed from "Administrator" account and after that I will create "other" account with administrator privilage and member of "ora_dba" group and use this "other" account to managed installed software I will have any problems?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Hello,
    No, I've always installed Oracle with an "Administrator account" and, I don't remember
    having a specific problem.
    Anyway, if there's a problem which can prevent the installation, OUI will send you a
    popup (for instance to stop a Service).
    More over, you can check the installation "logs" also.
    Best regards,
    Jean-Valentin
