In addition to what's been expressed already, you might want to assure
the vendor that you will use 32 bit Oracle client if they have
dependency on libs.

On server side, make sure they don't use any external procedures -
this way their concerns about 32 vs 64 bit might be appropriate.

We have setup a 64-bit Linux server with 64-bit Oracle 10g binaries.  The
vendor has now come back and said they do not support the database running
as 64-bit, even though there are no application components that run on the
database server.  Are there any differences in datatypes between 64-bit and
32-bit database software?  My understanding is that they are identical to
the client.  Can you think of any problems that 32-bit client software, or
jdbc connections would have with connecting to a 64-bit database on a
different server?
