does Oracle 9.2.0 ships/supports 32-bit on hpux 11i?

[kopi]

I have a 32-bit aplication on hpux11i that will work only with oracle 32-bit library.

Does oracle ships oracle 9.2.0 oracle client with 32 and 64-bit libraries?

hi,

quote from metalink document(Note:29732.1):


..
6. On HP-UX, 9.0.X is released as 64 bit offering only. A 32 bit version of 9.0.1 on HP-UX will not be released.

oracle version of 9 and its sub-versions does not support 32 bit.

Hi,

No, oracle 9i is 64 bit only.

[Ian Lochray · Accepted solution]

Although there is no 32-bit version of Oracle 9i, it does provide a set of 32-bit libraries that can be used to build and run 32-bit programs. These can be found in $ORACLE_HOME/lib32. Here is an extract from the Oracle 9i documentation. I hope the formatting is OK.

Support for 32-Bit and 64-Bit Client Applications (AIX, HP, and Solaris 64-Bit Only)
Oracle9i release 2 (9.2.0.1.0) for AIX, HP, and Solaris 64-bit systems provides support for 32-bit and 64-bit client applications. By default, all demonstrations and client applications provided with release 2 (9.2.0.1.0) link and run in 64-bit mode. However, you can build 32-bit and 64-bit client applications in the same ORACLE home directory. You can run both 32-bit and 64-bit applications on Oracle9i release 2 (9.2.0.1.0) for AIX, HP, and Solaris 64-bit systems. The following table lists the 32-bit and 64-bit client shared libraries:

Platform 32-Bit Client Shared Library 64-Bit Client Shared Library
AIX $ORACLE_HOME/lib32/libclntsh.a $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libclntsh.a
HP $ORACLE_HOME/lib32/libclntsh.sl $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libclntsh.sl
Solaris 64-bit $ORACLE_HOME/lib32/libclntsh.so $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libclntsh.so

Says yes since they use the 32 bit libraries

Use the Oracle 8.1.7 Client to connect to the Oracle 9i server. Works wonderfully.

Thanks for the overwelming responses.

Oracle 9.20 in fact comes with lib and lib32 directories. I have tested my apps using lib32 and it works fine against a 64 bit oracle database.
