In Response To: Ifx 32 or 64 bit (Willaert Doris)

Hi Doris,

I've posted approxmative the same question a few months ago on this forum.
Andreas Kutsche answered this :

""
64bit should be the preferred version because you don't have any
limitations on shared memory usage (buffers, locks, shared memory).

All applications connecting over the network (e.g. PCs) don't see any
difference when connecting to 32 or 64 bit - nothing needs to be done here.

If you have applications on the database machine you have to
possibilities:
- migrate your application to 64bit (compile with 64bit and 64bit-SDK)
- connect over TCP/IP (e.g. sqlhosts on HPUX: onsoctcp) and if you don't
already use the shared connect libraries from the 32bit SDK set INFORMIXDIR
and SHLIB_PATH/LD_LIBRARY_PATH explicitly to the SDK.

Remember: You should install the SDK to a different INFORMIXDIR than the
server - but that rule applies to 32bit only installations, too.

Bye

I hope this is clear enough,
good luck,

Actually we are running on AIX 4.3.2 with IDS 7.30.UC6. (To be upgraded
to IDS 10.00.UC4 by the end of the year)

We soon will migrate our applications to a new computer with AIX 5.3.
but it will be 64 bit. Will this cause trouble for our Informix
applications? (It is installed this way on a test system and seems to
run)

Thanks,
Doris
