I'd like to download Eclipse, but I'm not sure which version to download 32 or 64?
This is my first posting on any of these forums, and I'm relatively new to database programming.
I have Eclipse Indigo with Java 6 and JBoss 6.0 run time server installed, running on a Windows 32 bit Vista platform with SP1 and SP2. I would be very grateful to know which version of Oracle should be installed, and how to install it. It makes sense to download the latest stable version of Oracle that is compatible with my system, and presumably that is 11g. On the download page there are the 11g version, and the 11g Release 2 Express Edition version. What is the difference between these, and which should I install? If neither are compatible with my system, then which version of 10g should I install? Assuming I download the correct version, I would be very grateful to have some guidance on installing it with Eclipse. I would be most grateful for some advice on this.

This file should start downloading in your standard download folder, while showing a splash screen about donating to Eclipse. This file is about 300 Mb so it might take a while to download fully if you are on a slow internet connection (it took me about 5 minutes over a cable modem). As long as they make sure that their 2017 plugins work with Neon, I'd use Neon. Unfortunately, the C++ plugin for 2016 doesn't work with Neon so, if you're still working with C++ code from last year, stick with Mars for now and check back after they release the 2017 plugins.
According to my output, I have 64 bit OS. From what I understand before 64 bit application will just allows you to access over 4GB memory at once, while 32 bit has limitation of no more then 4 GB. I only have 4GB and I'm pretty sure I wont ever reach 4 GB using Eclipse either, so theoretically it doesn't really matter which one to choose.
But still which one?

Since you only have 4GB of RAM, it really doesn't matter. What may matter is the JDK version - you would need x86 JDK for Eclipse 32-bit, while x64 Eclipse would need 64-bit JDK.
As indicated by the Eclipse FAQ, you need to choose your JRE properly:
Please note that if you are on a 64-bit system and have a 64-bit JRE installed, you will need to use a 64-bit Eclipse build. If you wish to use a 32-bit Eclipse build, please use a 32-bit JRE. Mismatches will cause Eclipse to not start properly.

Java is 64-bit only on the Mac, starting with Java 6. (There's talk of back-porting, but apparently it's not a priority.) Lion also requires a 64-bit CPU. So you're running a 64-bit kernel, on a 64-bit machine, with a 64-bit JRE. Use 64-bit Eclipse.
You may have only 4GB now, but if you upgrade the RAM or get a whole new machine with more, you may have less to reinstall. Unless you have a specific reason to go 32-bit, it's time to leave that old tech behind across the board.
