Do you mean page size? 16k pages are supported across all platforms.

Yes.

No. At least, not until the 64 bit file i/o is fixed.

I've never used qli, so I can't answer this authoritively. I haven't
heard of anything being done to qli - it is a deprecated, if somewhat
useful tool that doesn't use SQL. I would suspect that qli would, if
anything, connect in a similar manner to a dialect 1 client.
