Hello, do you have any information regarding the news below? This will probably be problematic for both the PowerBuilder IDE and 32-bit compiled applications.

Desupport of 32-Bit Oracle Database Clients

32-bit Oracle Database clients are desupported in Oracle Database 23c.

Date: April 2023

Oracle has discontinued developing 32-bit Oracle Database clients. Oracle recommends that you use 64-bit Oracle Database clients. If you are using 32-bit applications, then you can continue to use older 32-bit Oracle Database clients, subject to “Client / Server Interoperability Support Matrix for Different Oracle Versions (Doc ID 207303.1)," and the release support lifecycle (My Oracle Support 742060.1). You can also use thin or managed data client access drivers, such as thin JDBC and managed ODP.NET.

Hi Frederic ;

  That would only impact in the way that you run your PB App from the IDE and how to build & run your PB App EXE's

  • For the IDE, please make sure that you are running PB 2022 R3. This version supports running or debugging your App in 64 bit mode.
  • For the deployed App EXE's, you need to compile them to a 64 bit EXE and also deploy the 64 bit PB runtime DLLs.
  • In both of the above cases, the IDE / EXE will then automatically look for & use the 64 bit Oracle Client.

HTH

Regards .. Chris

Adding to what Chris said, it is on our roadmap for PB 2025 to support 64-bit IDE, and for now you can surely to 64-bit runtime for your apps in PB 2022 R3.
