Is my Oracle install 32 bit or 64 bit

Quick question (to which i've forgotten the answer)
On my Solaris server i have multiple Oracle installations. How can i tell which are 32 bit and which are 64 bit. I seem to remember a simple unix command put can't put me finger on it at the moment.
Thanks in advance

I also found out that there is (at least on AIX) also a HARDWARE_BITMODE which is 64 bit.
So apparently with the kernel set to 32 bit mode programs are assumed to be 32 bit but by setting a couple of switches on the compile and link (make) step you can generate 64 bit code that uses the 64 bit hardware.

Installing 32 bit oracle on 64 bit windows 7

My oracle application works only with 32 bit oracle.Now I need to install the application on a 64 bit windows 7.I tried installing oracle 11g 32 bit database on this machine(64 bit windows 7).During the final stages,it gave an error that the listener service has not started.When I checked the Services status in Computer Management->Services,I found that the listener has already started.I closed the error message and continued with installation.The installation completed successfully.But when I login to sql plus with my oracle database(SYSTEM/SYSTEM@MYHOSTNAME),it is giving tns error ORA 12541-TNS NO LISTENER.I tried every possible ways like restarting the service, and deleting the listener and creating it again,but still it doesnt work.
If anyone has faced the same problem,please give me solution.
I cannot try installing 64 bit oracle because my application is not compatible with 64 bit oracle.

Edited by: 1001322 on Apr 20, 2013 7:23 AMIn addition to the other comments, you need to make the distinction between the oracle database and the oracle client.
the application interacts directly with the oracle client software. The application should not know or care about the word length of the database.

Problem with Oracle Client(64 bit) install on Windows 7

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle Client 64 bit (win64_11gR2_client) on my laptop and its giving me all the pre requisite failed for "Physical Memory, Free Space, Architecture and Enviornment variable: Path". So i need to exit that setup.
I have enough space almost 130 GB free on my laptop. Also, i cleared temp data. Then increased physical memory to 4096 MB but still facing the same error and not able to install the Oracle Client on my laptop.
Please assist as soon as possible.

Pl identify exact version of Win 7 - you will need Professional version or higher - Home versions are not supported. Pl verify you meet all of the pre-reqs for the install as identified in the Install Guide - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e16774/pre_install.htm

Problems: install oracle 10g 32 bits on RH 5.8 x64

Hello,
Someone has given me an oracle 10g 32 bits to install on a Redhat 5.8 64 bits server (no other server available).
I have a lot of errors during the installation process
exemple:
INFO: /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /oracle/client/10x_32/lib/libxml10.a when searching for -lxml10
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxml10
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I installed libxml10 64 and 32 bits on the system !
I would like to know if this configuration is POSSIBLE ???!
If yes, what is the solution / process to fix these compli. problems :-|
Thanks for your help !

yes or no ? :-(
I've never seen any 32-bit software that DIDN'T run on a 64 bit OS, as long as the necessary libraries are installed.
I used this process: is it the good one ?
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/oracle-db-10gr2-installation-on-rhel-5.php
Tim does a very nice job with his stuff on oracle-base, but that is NOT the official documentation. Why not use ORACLE'S own installation guide? Have you seen http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15667/toc.htm
And why are you installing a a version of Oracle that is out of support?
And as long as you have a 64-bit OS, why would you want to run a 32-bit version of Oracle?

Why is your "requirement" to install in graphical mode? Once you are past the installation itself, the only thing that buys you is that your server will have been configured to boot up to runlevel 5, running a graphical desktop (gnome or kde, I forget which). And what does THAT buy you on a server?
I do not run ANY of my Linux servers "in graphical mode" -- running a graphical desktop. Nor did I run a graphical desktop when I had Solaris, AIX, or HP-UX servers.

Install oracle ODBC 64 bit driver

Hi all,
I have couple of clients (users) looking for ODBC 64 driver for Oracle in windows 7 64 bit. They have Oracle 10g 32 bit installed. In environment, oracle 64 bit is not compitable with some of measure software they use, so need to utilize 32 bit. But they have a software 64 bit requires to have 64 bit ODBC oracle driver (not from C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe) but from administrative tools and Data Sources (ODBC).
i had downloaded from here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/downloads/index-090165.html
under 64-bit Oracle 10g Release 2 ODAC 10.2.0.3 for Windows x64
But when i tried to run, it is giving me error message "Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition binary has stopped working"
So i had download 64 bit Java 6 standard edition. no luck...same error.
Like to know how can i install ODBC 64 oracle Driver?
thanks in advance

i had downloaded from here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/downloads/index-090165.html
under 64-bit Oracle 10g Release 2 ODAC 10.2.0.3 for Windows x64 why ODAC 10.2.0.3? (it doesnt include ODBC driver according to the homepage)
download instant client (50 MB) + ODBC option (1,5MB) from:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/winx64soft-089540.html
extract to same directory, run odbc_install.exe to register the driver, and its done
no extra installation required

hi sm,
this seems to be an issue with the rights of the user and the DB install. check is the TNS is up and running and that the SIDADM has fill access to it. Also , have you checked the latest PAM. why are you trying to implement EP6 right now? I would suggest to go for EP7.0

Install oracle client 32 bits on 64 bits windows

We need to intall Oracle driver for OLEDB on a SQL server box.
The SQL server is windows 2008 R2 and SQL server 2008 R2, 64 bits.
But because we have some SSIS packages that need to run in 32 bits,(for example the source file is the Excel), so we are installing oracle client 32 bits instead of 64 bits on the windows box which is 64 bits.
Anyone knows if this will work?
Thanks

I think it should work. I have a server Win 2008 x64 which runs 32 bit 11g client and we haven't had an issue. I had the same situation as you are in which required me to install 32bit client on x64 server. if you have a test server I would try this on the test server identical to production to make sure that you won't see any hick ups in your production environment. hope this helps.

Can we install oracle client 32 bit on Linux 64 bit

Can we install the 32 bit applications like the oracle client on to a database server 64 bit and linux os 64 bit ?

This question is two parts which I paraphrase as per my understanding; please correct me if I'm wrong:
1) Can you install 32-bit applications (like the oracle client) on to a 64-bit Linux OS?
Quick and correct answer is: Yes. Most distributions will include 32-bit libraries along with 64-bit libraries for just this purpose.
2) Can a 32-bit Oracle Client "connect" to a 64-bit Oracle Database server?
Yes.
So ultimately, you could install 64-bit Oracle Database on a 64-bit Linux OS, and then continue by installing the 32-bit Oracle Client on the same host (although I see no real reason for this), and then finally use the 32-bit Oracle Client to connect to the 64-bit instance running on the same host.
Hope this is helpful!
