Oracle Client Compatibility Query

CraigBurtenshawJul 23 2020 — edited Jul 27 2020

Greeting Community,

I have exhausted my Google Searching for an answer and/or supporting documentation.

I have a customer that runs 64-bit Windows Servers, with 64-bit Oracle databases.

And they connect a 32-bit application with a 32-bit Oracle client running on a 64-bit Windows 10 PC to these databases.

I have suggested that they remove the Oracle 32-bit client and install the Oracle 64-bit Client (which will be PC and Database friendlier) and that the 32-bit application will utilise the backward compatible 32-bit libraries that come with the 64-bit Oracle Client.

Am I correct?

Could someone provide supporting documentation?

Feel free to let me know that I am completely wrong ...

Cheers

Craig.
