[mapguide-users] Re: Any success stories compiling MG OS 2.2 with Oracle provider on 64-bit Linux?

[Zac Spitzer]

that said, I know Trevor has been working on linux support

I would recommend using trunk rather than the 2.2 branch in this case

BTW you can always access a 64bit db using a 32bit app

only the app and db client need to be the same architecture,
the communication between FDO and Oracle is via TCP/IP
