On our Sun box running Solaris 8 and Oracle 8.1.7:

$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/bin
$ file oracle
oracle: ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1, dynamically linked, not stripped

You'll note that we are running 32 bit.

We recently tried to get hold of a 64bit version of 8.1.7 for Solaris without success. We were told we could have 8.1.6, but that 8.1.7 was still unavailable.
