    64 bit or 32 bit ...Oracle 9i installation on XP, Which one to install!!!

    Hi,
    I have a DELL notebook with Win XP running on it. I want to install Personal Oracle 9i on it. I want to just practise some stuff and learn some new topics.I found 2 entries on Oracle website http://otn.oracle.com/software/produ...i/content.html

    1)Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.2)
    Oracle9i Database Release 2 Enterprise/Standard/Personal/Client Edition for Windows XP 2003/Windows Server 2003 (64-bit) (it has 2 zip files)

    2)Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.1)
    Oracle9i Database Release 2 Enterprise/Standard/Personal Edition for Windows NT/2000/XP
    3 zip files 92010NT_Disk1.zip (612,802,971 bytes)
    92010NT_Disk2.zip (537,604,934 bytes)
    92010NT_Disk3.zip (254,458,106 bytes)


    Which one should I install? the first one is 64 bit and the second is 32 bit... Ur suggestions are welcome...
    Also there was one more link like this Oracle9i Database Release 2 Client for Windows 98/NT/2000/XP ... whats the difference between the first 2 installation options and this one i.e client installation...

    Thanks in advance...

    Depends on what version of XP you are running

    If you are running a 64 bit version of XP then you should consider running the 64 bit version of Oracle as well. If you are not sure, then it is almost certainly 32 bit and you should stick with 32 bit Oracle. 64 bit Oracle will not run on a non 64 bit system.

    What is the version of your Windows XP ? Is it a 64 bit version (Windows XP 2003) ?

    The client edition will not install any db, So depending on your XP version you should download one of the above two.

    Happy Learning..
