If I were you, I'd probably start by reading documentation. Documentation for upgrading to 9.2 can be found at:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96530/toc.htm

It's called "migration". In Oracle 10.2, it's called "Upgrade". In the Oracle RDBMS 11f, aforementioned here by some esteemed colleagues, it will be called "Transcending Manual". Oracle 9.2 has database upgrade assistant which makes your job much easier. I don't, however, recommend using the wizard without reading the documentation. I hope I answered your question to your satisfaction. It is hard to imagine that you could have found your answer without asking the question on this list.
