Hi,

I was asked a question about whether there are any issues with DBISAM
database engine (V3.30) and 64-bit servers.  Has anyone had any ill-effects
in this setup?

Thanks

Alex

We have not had any reports of any issues with such a setup other than some
minor installation issues with the ODBC driver.

It seems ok for me. My app runs fine, by all accounts.  I've got some issues
with the taskbar (I have a "bar" that docks into the taskbar, and it doesn't
work, but neither do any others, including Windows Media Player).  But the
DBISAM seems to be fine.
My database isn't large enough to need 64-bitness though.

BTW, I always ask people (who inquire about 64-bit) why they are running
Vista64, and as a follow-up, "was it worth it?"
I haven't had any satisfactory answers, thus far, and nobody ever answers
the (admittedly smart-ass, passive-aggressive) follow-up question.

Thanks for your input.  This is a client who is putting in 64-bit servers so
can work with dual processor operating systems I presume.  64-bit Vista?  I
ask why Vista at all.

Really not one answer of any value ?
Maybe thats why I got an AMD 64 bit for 5 quid at a car boot sale

I did buy what I think is an almost identical box a couple of years ago
with the then new Novel SuuSE 9? 64 bit and it was ok except Kylix
didnt run
I have just installed the openSuse 10.3 on my bargain 5 quid box and
I must say its probaly the best linux distro imo so far.

What did I like best ? well ease of installation it grabs the vital info
1st like its ip and group name gateway ip DNS1 DNS2 username
and password for your isp then it just strutts its stuff and installs then
when its there it asks for your full name username and pword +
root pword and its up and running in under 15 minutes.
Lazarus 64 bit RPM was not as simple tho a list of issues to resolve.
The world is not as ready for 64bit as it was for 32bit but be ready.

Thanks!  Yes, I've been very pleased with DBISAM, particularly with the
small footprint and easy distribution.  I've even gotten ClipMate certified
for U3 devices, which was made a lot easier with the easy distribution.

There's no problem with 64-bit hardware, it's the operating system and
drivers that cause headaches.  People dive in because they like to have the
latest and greatest, and figure that 64 is better than 32, because 32 was
better than 16.  But then none of their stuff works, and they wonder why.
IMO, the 32-bit transition was necessary and beneficial for most users.  Not
so (at the current time) for 64.

Rita,

Yeah, OpenSuse is pretty cool.  The interface alone is really nice.  Sam saw
me tinkering with it a few weeks ago and asked me if we could use it as our
desktop OS.
