These are 100% correct questions, but we better address them to Oracle:
- how long we will see ET64T/AMD64 platform as _low priority_ for Oracle? (I
do not expect that anyone in good mind will use 32 bit Linux for database in
next 2 - 3 years. Do they expect people will move onto Itanium Do not think
so!)?
- how long they are expecting to use 32 bit Java on 64 bit Linuxes (today
they use 32 bit Java on ET64T/AMD64 which creates a lot of hassle around)?
- can we expect to have AS and other 32 bit applications _at least_ be
certified on ET64T/AMD64 platform? It includes
many applications, with Grid control and other stuff.

Subject: AW: [suse-oracle] Antwort: RE: [suse-oracle] Installing AS 10g9.0.4
on SLES 9 x86-64
Hallo,
first of all thanks to everybody giving me feedback.
1. What I wonder a little bit is that, for example Oracle supports 32-bit
installations on Solaris 64-bit.
2. If 32-bit installation of AS 10g 9.0.4 seems not to be supported on SLES
x86-64, there would never be a certified installation of AS 10g on any
64-bit Linux version, because the Application Server 10g always seems to be
shipped as a 32-bit version and no 64-bit version exists.
=> If using a 64-bit Linux on a server I can't use Oracle AS 10g on the same
machine.
Regards
Frank Petschar

SLES 9 x86-64
Thanks Guys,
This problem pops up once in every two weeks as someone will install 32
bit Oracle products on 64bit OS and end-up with all sorts of mentioned
problem. This mixed combination is not supported by Oracle unless
otherwise documented. I will try to put word of caution in
iAS10g_sles9_install.pdf as this document is only intended for x86 OS
only :-)
Regards,
Arun
