>>>Okay, I know some of you are going to call me crazy but here
goes...**We're now using 9i in Production**There, I admit
it. But I have to ask you this- do you think 9i will be morebuggy than
the 8.1.6 that we were running that was causing core dumps,referential
integrity violations, etc.? I'm betting that 9i will be atleast a
little bit better than that. Performance should be better too.I'll
report back any gotchas (there are bound to be
some!).david-----Original Message-----Sent:

recipients of list ORACLE-LWell, we wanted to upgrade from 8.0.4 to
8.1.6 last year because it hadbeendesupported. We got most of the
machines upgraded except for the mainproduction machine. I wanted to
upgrade that last September. I havefinally gotten permission to
tentatively schedule the for next month(oneyear later), just in time for
the 8.1.6 desupport notice. Sigh.-----Original

reason.All of these are candidates1. current oracle
version is unstable2. specific bug addressed by an upgrade/patch, as
identified by support3. need to utilize new feature4.
desupport date coming up.If it works, don't fix it!Don't do it
just for fun. Because it can turn into HELL.Lisa
