Hi,
I don't know about OS command.
but you can query on v$session.

SQL> desc v$session
 Name                                      Null?    Type
 ----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------

 SADDR                                              RAW(4)--->32 bit
if RAW(8)----> 64 bit.

Hi,
You can check your OS version.

To determine which version of Solaris is installed, enter the following command:

# uname -r

For 32 bit or 64 bit.

To determine whether the system architecture can run the software, enter the following command:

# /bin/isainfo -kv

and check complete SOLARIS VARSION LIST.

Not sure is this is accurate, but if you run the file command - it'll tell you 32 or 64 bit:

> uname -a
SunOS dante 5.8 Generic_117350-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R

## Do a file on any binary file
> file /usr/bin/ls
/usr/bin/ls:    ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1, dynamically linked, stripped

Hi.

You can try the following to get...

$isainfo -bv
64-bit sparcv9 applications

$isainfo -b
64
Means 64bit address....( Hope it is 64bit )

If i am mistake, please correct me Sad

Thanks,
Shahnaz.
