Hi,

I was using BDB-4.3.28 on AIX in 32 bit mode.
Now we are porting our application to 64 bit.

Is BDB compatible with 64 bit environment.
Are there any known limitation or pitfalls in the 64bit usage.

Please provide information regarding this.

Regards,
Kiran

There should be no problem taking a database file created with a 32-bit
build of Berkeley DB and opening and accessing that file with a 64-bit
build of the library.

However, the same is not true of Berkeley DB environments: it is *not*
possible to open an environment created with a 32-bit build of the
library in a 64-bit application, or vice versa. Further, since the
only
way to share a database file between multiple processes is via a
database environment, there is no way for a 32-bit and a 64-bit
application to access the same database concurrently.
