I have upgraded the database from 8.0.5/8.1.7 to 9.2.0.4 and changed character set using alter database character set. It will work without any problem. Go for it.

I am in the process of planning our upgrade for our 8.1.5 database to 8.1.7.4. This is the first step in upgrading all my databases to 9.2.0.4.
As part of this upgrade I am changing the character set from WE8ISO8859P1 to
UTF8. Has anyone done this change using the ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET
command? If so, was there any problems?

Thanks,
