Re: i5/OS 32 or 64-bit ?

PASE supports both 32-bit and 64-bit.

However, in my experience, almost everyone is using 32-bit PASE. So I'd take that choice.

FWIW... recent versions of Zend Core include MySQL -- so it's not necessary to download and install it separately if you plan to also install PHP.

I gotta admit, I was stumped today. Yeah, sure, common occurrence, but this was in an area I thought I understood. I went to download MySQL for i5/OS today and it offered me two choices: SAVF for 32-bit and SAVF for 64-bit POWER systems (it also offered TAR downloads for each).

And that made me sit back. I was under the impression that we've been running 64-bit machines forever. But we have a 32-bit JVM. My head hurts!

So, is PASE 32-bit or 64-bit? Or both? And why two versions of MySQL?
