RE: Is ANYONE using 64 Bit Informix ????????
We did one on an RS6000 running AIX. This is a 1 way upgrade. You cannot revert to 32 bit (must do an export import and rebuild the instance. Anything 64Bit uses MORE memory, for just about everything (e.g SHMVIRTSIZE). There are plenty of people using 64 Bit Informix around.

I wonder if the 64-bit IDS-9.x supports 'Forced residency'. This feature is not supported in 32-bit IDS-9.20UC3 (as stated in the IDS_9.20 release note for AIX). Also, what do you really gain in going fro 32-bit to 64-bit ?
