Question

My googlefu is lacking tonight and I can't find an answer to this.

Will databases I create on a amd64/emt64 system be usable on a x86 system?

Was it helpful?

Solution

According to the FAQ:

Are Berkeley DB databases portable between architectures with different integer sizes and different byte orders?

Yes. Specifically, databases can be moved between 32- and 64-bit machines, as well as between little- and big-endian machines. See the "Selecting a byte order" section of the Berkeley DB Reference Guide for more information.
