PL/SQL Developer won't work on 64-bit machine

[lezlee]

Is there any plan to make PL/SQL Developer available in 64-bit?

We love PL/SQL Developer but we're getting new PCs at my place of employment and they are 64-bit machines. My co-workers with upgraded machines have had to abandon PL/SQL Dev. and are using Oracle SQL Developer.

If you're not planning on making a 64-bit version available, is there any kind of a work-around that would allow us to use PL/SQL Dev. from a 64-bit machine?

If you are planning on it (pretty please, do

), when will it be available?

PLD v11 will have 64bit version.
Marko says beta should be around this month.

PL/SQL Developer works fine on a 64 bit machine (that's how I use it). You will however need to install a 32 Bit Oracle11g or 12c Client. PL/SQL Developer is a 32 Bit application, so it cannot interface with a 64 Bit Oracle Client.

The 32 Bit Oracle Client can communicate with a 64 Bit Server, even on the same machine if necessary. The 32 Bit client can coexist with a 64 Bit Oracle installation when installed in separate Oracle Home directories.

The initial release of PL/SQL Developer 11.0 will be 32 Bit, but we'll have a 64 Bit version available in the first half of next year.
