There are several new features in 9i Release Two that you might be interested in as well as many bug fixes. It is not "just" an upgrade by any means. For example, you get associative arrays (HUGE HUGE HUGE feature - did I mention they were HUGE) and list partitions get "maxvalue"-style functionality, there's bulk binding into tables of records, in fact, anything you need to speed up your programs has been either introduced or improved upon in 9.2. And I'm sure there's loads of DBA stuff in there as well...

Oh, and if it helps at all, the DBAs in my bank will not install any 9i releases pre-9.2.
