Oracle Database 12C 64bit with 32bit Client
Hello,
We need to set up a 32 bit application on a Windows 2012 machine with Oracle 12c.
To do so, we have installed Oracle 12c 64 bit Server in this machine and then we also installed an Oracle 32 bit client in the same machine but in a different Oracle Base folder.
Our application is accessing the DB from the 32 bit client and ODBC driver.
Is this a valid approach? Should we expect any performance issues in this setup? Is there any other way to achieve this goal?
And most important. Is this configuration supported by Oracle? What would be the advantages of rebuilding the application in 64 bit, as far as Oracle performance is concerned?
