Agreed. I have done just that in a 10g environment (10.1 to 10.2) on Windows
and I think doing it on Solaris could only be better. But note I am somewhat
biased towards Unix (full disclosure). Metalink Note 62290.1 "Changing
between 32-bit and 64-bit Word Sizes" has some pretty good info on it.
From that note:
The only internal structural differences between the 32-bit and 64-bit Oracle
installations are the following:
The compiled format of PL/SQL is different. The instructions for how and
when to recompile PL/SQL are provided in the appropriate chapters of
the Migration book. The storage format of user-defined types is based on the
release of Oracle that created the database. The existing storage format will
be converted to the correct format transparently when necessary. User-defined
types include object types, REFs, varrays, and nested tables.

I don't have the 10gR2 installation notes in front of me at the moment, but I'm
pretty sure you can go straight from 32 to 64 bit.

Hi
I had 8i (32 Bit) Database (8.1.7.4.0) on Solaris 2.8 (64bit) system. Now I
want to upgrade the 8i Database to 10g Release 2(64 bit). What will be the
correct procedure.
Do I need to upgrade firstly from 8i (32bit) to 8i (64bit) or I can go directly
from 8i(32 Bit) to Oracle 10g Rel2 (64bit)
Tx
Sanjay
