The most generic answer to that kind of question would
be to use the command 'file' ....

file /path/to/postgres/bin/postgres

I'd suggest that the clue would be the "on xxxx" part of the line.

I386-pc-solaris2.10 - sounds 32-bit to me.  Intel 386 platform is
32-bit.

If this was a binary package for their 32-bit Solaris version, and
you've got it on a 64-bit box, either SPARC or IA64 or AMD64, then it
proves they've got binary compatibility between their 32-bit and 64-bit
platforms.  If your OS is i386 Solaris, it's probably a 32-bit OS
version.

Hi,



I installed binaries on a sun box using packages dlded off sun's site.
The version is 8.1.4. How can i know whether i am running in 32 or 64
bit? SELECT version() ; does not show this.



postgres=# select version() ;

------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------
 PostgreSQL 8.1.4 on i386-pc-solaris2.10, compiled by
/ws/on10-tools/SUNWspro/SOS8/bin/cc -Xa
(1 row)



Many thanks

justin
