    Hi,

    How can I find if the Oracle Installation was a 32 bit or 64 bit installation?


    Thanks in advance.

    If you are using Unix OS, Go to bin directory and execute the following command:
    file oracle

    This will give you whether Oracle is 32 bit or 64 bit.

    When I did file oracle, this is what I got :

    oracle: executable (RISC System/6000) or object module not stripped

    Am I missing something?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Run the command in $oracle_home/bin directory.

    I got this:

    ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1

    what determind whether you'll get 32bit or 64?

    I agree to hedyash. It seems to give the same output for the AIX system. And the solaris system tend to give the expected out put.

    Any idea?

    After foolowing all the suggested steps,
    I got this

    machine_name oracle Dbname /mountpoint/***/oracle/product/8.1.5/bin
    $ file oracle
    oracle: executable (RISC System/6000) or object module not stripped

    machine_name oracle DBNAME /mountpoint/***/oracle/product/8.1.5/bin
    $ $oracle_home/bin
    ksh: /bin: 0403-006 Execute permission denied.

    Can any body tell me why, I still could not find the bit?

    An AIX expert(or docs) or Oracle will tell you the work around to find your db is 32-bit/64-bit.

    Above procedure works in Solaris.
