    Hi, we have a MOSS 64bit running on a 64bit OS windows 2008 and the backend database is a 32bit server windows 2003 running SQL server 2008 32bit. Now i would like to shift the databases of Sharepoint from 32bit server to 64bit (from 32bit sql to 64bit sql)

    What should be done here?

    It should be move database to a host server with the same name. Since this is what you SharePoint config database would have unless you plan to move just the content databases to another 64 bit server.

    I would also recommened using a SQL server alias when you do this move since that would make the server name redundant for this very reason as aliases can then be pointed to any server.
