32 bit MySQL on x86 64 bit?
Hello all. I am going to build an x86 Solaris box. Sun only offers it in a 64 bit flavor.

I want to put MySQL on this box. MySQL only comes in a 32 bit version for x86 Solaris.

Can I run 32 bit apps on a 64 bit x86 Solaris machine?

Thanks!

That is incorrect. The x64 ( as sun calls it ) runs on 32 bit x86 machines. It has both 32 and 64 bit kernels.

Yes, provided you satisfy the library dependencies with 32 bit libraries. For example the entire JDS desktop is compiled as 32 bit and runs quite happily 64 bit solaris.

Reborg, thanks! I did not know it came with both kernels. I assume during the install it will as which you want to install?

No, it will simply examine your hardware and install the appropriate one.
