title: PL/SQL developer with oracle 32-bit/64-bit client
body: <p>I have Oracle 64-bit client installed to run with my weblogic application. I learnt that pl-sql developer doesn't work with oracle 64-bit client so now i have both 32-bit and 64-bit clients installed on my machine and my ORACLE_HOME variable points to 64-bit client.</p>
  
  <p>I am not able to start pl/sql developer even i specify the 32-bit client in Tools->Preferences of pl-sql developer version 8.0.4.</p>
  
  <p>I changed my oracle client to 32-bit client then i was able to start pl-sql developer but my application doesn't work.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way i can run PL/SQL developer whilst pointing ORACLE_HOME to 64-bit oracle client. I am not sure specifying the ORACLE_HOME explicitly in Tools->Preferences of pl sql developer (for user/default as well as system preferences) has any effect as it picks the oracle home from the environment variable i believe.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Adithya.</p>
