Identify Oracle 32 bit/64 bit installation

Martin BachDec 7 2006 — edited Dec 7 2006

Hi group!

Is there a way to check if an Oracle installation is 32bit or 64 bit on Linux when the database is down? Yesterday, I happily applied the 10.2.0.2 patchset for 64bit Oracle on my 32 bit Oracle home but at the time I did it I was not sure if my $ORACLE_HOME was 32 or 64 bit.

Later I remembered that although I am running Centos4.4 x86_64, I installed Oracle in 32 bit since I did not have the proper installation media. It's my home dev and tryout machine so I did not worry too much.

The only possibility seems to use ldd on $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle and grep for 64. Opatch does a lot of reporting but nothing on 32/64bit.

Thanks for your help!

I think nowadays the only other platform where this could occur was Solaris-Oracle 9i was available for SPARC 64 and 32 bit ...
