Delphi compatibility with Windows 2008 Server 64 bit

Question

I have a plan to install my application which is compiled using RAD2010 in Vista 32 bit dev. environment, in a win 2008 server 64 bit. I use Firebird 2.0 (32 bit) as database server.

Is there any issue? Or it should run without any problem?

Answer 1

No problem for this.

If you can use Firebird 2.1 (a version for 64bit server can be use).

Just take the fbclient.dll (32 bit version)

Answer 2

I see no reason why it shouldn't work, 32 bit processes and services work well under x64. If you need lots of memory for you application you can set the LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE flag which gives your application access to 4GB of address space instead of 2 GB. If you want that you need to add a line containing {$SetPEFlags $20} to the .dpr file.
