Hi,

  I wonder if anyone can help with the following.

 Current Config
 ----------------------
 Solaris 7(32-bit) + Oracle 8i(32-bit) 8.1.7.4   + Sun Forte Developer
6 Update 2(32-Bit)

Forte is used for 32-bit coding for Oracle Pro*C/C++ Precompiler


Desired Config
---------------------
 Solaris 9(64-bit) + Oracle 9i(64-bit) 9.2.0.5   + Sun Forte Developer
6 Update 2(32-Bit)

Can someone tell me whether 
 
a) 32 bit apps can run on 64 bit
    	- I assume so but need to be sure

b) Sun Forte Developer 6 Update 2(32-Bit) can be installed on 64 bit
Solaris 9?

c) Sun Forte Developer 6 Update 2(32-Bit) can compile/run/debug
32-bit code on 64 bit Solaris 9?

d) If  64-bit Oracle 9i supports 32 bit apps calling on the Pro*C/C++
Precompiler?

  Thanks in advance.

Yes. This is documented in the Solaris documentation on docs.sun.com.
Try searching for 32bit and 64bit.
