32 versus 64 Bit DB Files

[Former Member]

On a Windows Server, is there any difference in the DB file created with the 64 bit toolset versus the 32 bit toolset?  The same question for the data.  Is the size of a  Long xxxx  in the 32 bit DB the same as the 64Bit?

Charles,

SQL Anywhere database files are independent of platform and bitness. DB and LOG files can be moved between 32 and 64 bit environments without changing the underlying data.

A bitness change in the application may require more care, as data may be handled outside the database.

Thanks,
