Brandon,
I would migrate to 10g if I were you. 9i is scheduled for desupport in
July 2007. So going to 9i now means another migration in about 16
months.
In your case, you don't *need* to use any new features for your
application. You don't say what kind of application you are supporting,
but if you are "simple" OLTP or warehouse application, then you should
be fine. Oracle didn't break anything major in this new release. They
added a ton of new stuff, but you don't need to use any of it.
I would go now. Plan a migration path. Get your development instances
up and running and have your developers work with it. If all goes well,
move forward.
Good luck.
Tom

Subject: 9i or 10g, which one to upgrade to?
I'm planning an upgrade from 8.1.7 to either 9i or 10g (on AIX5L) and
looking for any recommendations. I'm familiar with the new features in
10g, but I don't have any experience working with it in a production
environment. I feel a little safer now that the 10gR2 is out but it
still seems to be pretty close to the bleeding edge. I'm curious what
kind of performance and reliability you all have experienced on 10gR2
compared to 9iR2? I know it will vary depending on your hardware,
application, and a million other things but I'm just looking for general
experiences, sentiments, and pros & cons (other than the well-documented
new features) between 9i and 10g. I've seen some negative comments here
about Grid Control, but what about the individual Database Control
product - any major problems with it?
Thanks,
Brandon
