Re: 64-bit RDBMS server question

In addition to what's been expressed already, you might want to assure the vendor that you will use 32 bit Oracle client if they have dependency on libs.

On server side, make sure they don't use any external procedures - this way their concerns about 32 vs 64 bit might be appropriate.
