Comments on: Oracle 11g for Linux 64-bit now available http://www.pythian.com/news/640/oracle-11g-for-linux-64-bit-now-available/ News and views from Pythian DBAs Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:01:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Alex Gorbachev http://www.pythian.com/news/640/oracle-11g-for-linux-64-bit-now-available/#comment-115697 Alex Gorbachev Mon, 22 Oct 2007 16:11:14 +0000 http://www.pythian.com/blogs/640/oracle-11g-for-linux-64-bit-now-available#comment-115697 The core is 64 bit and some "utilities" are 32 bit but agree - it's unfortunate that Oracle couldn't be bothered to port them as well. On the other hand, we are probable better off to go through the pain of installing and linking it once rather than taking a chance of hitting port bugs while running it. Anyway, I hope Oracle will move the primary development platform to 64 bit rather sooner than later.

What a fake.
