platform and word-size migration
Oracle 11.2.0.4 Std. Edition ONE, 32-bit on Windows 2003 32-bit
We are looking at migrating this database to 64-bit on Oracle Linux.
I've been reading the notes, especially 733205.1, and Chapter 27 (Transporting Data Across Platforms) of the Backup and Recovery Users Guide. Everthing seems to be a "GO" as far as Windows to Linux, but nothing I've read so far addresses the 32-bit to 64-bit issue.
Mind you, this is NOT a version upgrade. The current database is 11.2.0.4 Std. Ed. One, as will be the new database. What is changing is the word size and the host OS. "Endianess" is the same across both platforms.
