32-bit instance on AIX DB2 V9 ?

Damir Wilder

Greetings,
is it possible to create a 32-bit DB2 V9 instance on a p5 box running AIX
V5.2 (TL09) with 64-bit Kernel?
The command that used to set the bit-width of the DB2 instance - "db2icrt" -
doesn't support the "-w" switch anymore and instead uses the system
bit-width by default...

"db2level" shows:
DB21085I Instance "db9" uses "64" bits and DB2 code release "SQL09000" with
level identifier "01010107".
Informational tokens are "DB2 v9.0.0.0", "s060328", "AIX64", and Fix Pack
"0".
Product is installed at "/opt/IBM/db2/V9.0".

Regards,
Damir Wilder

To the best of my knowledge the answer is no.
32Bit DB2 9 is only supported on Windows and Linux (Intel and AMD based).
AFAIK 32bit client libraries are still available for stored procedures
and local apps that depend on 32bit.

Cheers
Serge

More definitively than Serge's answer (but not in disagreement with him):

No. There is no such thing as an "xx-bit" instance anymore. A single
instance provides all the functionality of both 32- and 64-bit (where
supported - AIX is one such platform). You should be able to use your
32-bit applications in the v9 instance (note: not "v9 64-bit instance" -
that terminology is misleading and therefor incorrect). And you should
also be able to use your 64-bit applications in the same v9 instance.

If you are having problems with your applications working in this instance,
then please let IBM know that.

Thanks,

PS - v9 has GA'd, you may want to move up from the beta. Not that this
changes the answer to the question.
