Good Day!
I have compiled my application as 64 Bit, confirmed it's 64 by looking at Task Manager (no *32) while it's running, but I cannot, for sure, tell if it's using the Oracle 64 Bit client.
Now, my understanding is that the 64 bit application will use the Oracle 64 bit driver. That may or may not be an accurate assumption.
My application connects using DBMS=ORA and works just fine. When I check the DBHOME and CLIENT for my installation, neither have the 32 bit folders which many references told me to look for... Also, when I run SQL PLUS, I see in Task Manager it's the 64 bit version (no *32). When I look in my ODBC Drivers I see SQORA32.DLL as the drivers. Again, I am using ORA as DBMS, not an ODBC Data Source, so I am not overly concerned. Finally, I checked the ContentsXML\comps.xml and it's 64...
Here's why I am asking about this: I was running the 32 bit EXE of my application on O12c for over a year or two. All was well. Just this morning I decided to compile my application as 64 bit and it works even though I did nothing to my Oracle installation. Was I using the 64 bit driver this whole time even though the application was a 32 bit EXE?
Is this all for naught because the PowerBuilder Runtime handles it all? That would be the dream...
Thanks for your assistance and patience.
