Re: Informix 64-bit

Unless you need >2GB size shared memory segments, I'd stick with 32-bit for now. The biggest problem is that most of our tools (onperf, oncockpit, ipload, among others) are still 32-bit and are either not included in the 64-bit distribution, or are not supported. I haven't spent any time researching it, but apparently onbar isn't supported on some of our 64-bit ports either. If you have no use for the "supporting" tools, then you'll probably be fine with an .FCx release. Side note--there is still a 2GB chunk size limit (for systems with a 2KB page size). If you read anything to the contrary, it is wrong.
