We are considering moving our Oracle 9i database from our Win2003 32-bit box onto a Win2003 64-bit box running Oracle 10g. We'd still leave our Enterprise application server on the 32-bit box, so we'd just be isolating our database onto its own 64-bit server.
I'd appreciate any feedback or ideas about whether this sounds like a good move, and if you think this will be a supported configuration from Oracle. I know I'll probably get lots of questions like "why not go Linux", but the reality for us is that we've standardized our servers on Windows, so we don't really have any Linux expertise. And the 64-bit architecture removes the 4GB memory limitation our Oracle database is currently enduring.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
