I see from the Oracle certification matrix that they do not certify
running a 32-bit installation of Oracle database against a 64 bit
operating system. But does anyone know whether this can be done,
would it/could it work? I was thinking about running 32 bit 10g
standard edition on a 64 bit Windows OS (Windows8).

Does anyone have any knowledge on this?

Thanks,
Dan

I currently have 10g XE 32-bit running on 64-bit Windows7 without

isn't available in 64-bit for "Winders".

It works fine on Linux. I tried it with 10.2.0.5 on RH Linux 4.8, 64 bit,
with 32 bit support installed. I really have no clue about Windows. A
colleague of mine installed Oracle, I believe it was 11.2, on 64b Windows
7 and he was rather satisfied with performance, but the company that we
both worked for went broke last week and I cannot ask him any more. The
server is no longer accessible to either of us. He installed 64 bit
version, as far as I know.

When I was poking around the intertubes a month ago trying to decide
whether to go with XE 11g beta, I found posts that said things like
"the trick to running XE on 2008 is to right click on the installer
exe and set it to run under 2003 compatibility mode, and run as
administrator. "

So I don't know, but poke about. I wound up deciding to make the
admins give me a 32 bit OS and put the beta on it. Now I'm going to
upgrade. As of yesterday, I didn't see a 64 bit version, which was
supposed to be released with the production version, but I didn't look
too hard.

You might look into running a linux VM under your desired OS, I'd
guess you'll find all sorts of info about that.

Good to know. I neglected to specify our standard is similar to OP,
with Hyper-V, but I can justify older stuff for the few XE's for now.
Fortunately, I'm special with Itanium hp-ux Oracle for the ERP.
Unfortunately, Oracle corp. has decided that would make me the bastard
red-headed stepchild, (with apologies to bastard red-headed
stepchildren). I'm grateful to have a boring job in interesting
times. (Sleepy after the Fun With Power last night, as some idiot
brings down a big chunk of the western power grid while installing
electrical grid monitoring. So much for negative instrumentation
cost.)

It's the other way around. Larry's vision is that computing is a
utility, so that says to me we can expect grid control to work
perfectly well most of the time, until it fails spectacularly. Just
like some cloud events, come to think of it.
