How will I know the installed oracle on unix is 32 bit or 64 bit?
How will i know if oracle db is running on 32 bit processor or 64 bit?
i did query v$version, it says "Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.4.0 - 64bit Production" is that means the oracle is running on 64 bit processor and oracle is also 64 bit software?

On Unix..
goto Oracle_home and type
file oracle
this retruns the software version installed on that home 64/32 bit
You could have 2 homes installed one with 64 and other with 32 on the same OS version of 64bit
For OS
uname -X
usually gives the release information of OS. if you know the core pakcage name .. you can find its version 32/64 bit. Ex: for Sun
pkginfo |grep SUNWcarx gives you the core version of OS
Some of OS packages may be in 32 bit on 64 bit core version (a valid scenario)
In your case obviousely the OS is 64 bit following the general rule
Any software 'XX'bit version can only be installed on >= 'XX' bit version of OS (XX=> 16/32/64...; software=> oracle in this case)
