Dependence on 3rd Party Apps keeps us at 9i too. Both our Student
Information System (SASIxp) and Financials (IFAS) - as well as a couple of
minor ones - are only certified with 9i. We have about 30 9i databases
(mostly Dev and Test, but 3 or 4 main Production ones too). We have only
one 10g database and that was to deploy the latest HTMLDB, which the
Developers have since abandoned in favor of Java.
All our Financial DBs are at 9.2.0.8 now - most of our Student Info. DBs
as well. The Prod and several other Stu. Info. DBs are still at 9.2.0.4.
I'm fine with it, liking the "trailing edge" role much better than the
"bleeding edge" situation I used to be in as a Consultant. As we run into
bugs, we find they've already been thoroughly dealt with and have patches
available. Most of our "challenges" are unrelated to the database, but
concern the quirks of the designed-by-the-same-brainless-comittee 3rd
Party Apps we're saddled with.
We'll get fully to 10g about the time 11g is in its 2nd release - a
leisurely pace that well suits this old curmudgeon. At least we have the
latest servers and OS (mostly RHEL4 64bit on Opteron CPUs), plus almost
limitless SAN and a total fibre LAN/WAN, so infrastructure and performance
are quite nice.
Contentedly....

…sorry for hijacking this thread, but this post got me thinking. Oracle9i
is 6 year old software. I see this deployment is in test phase (presumably
headed for production). I wonder how many 9i databases are getting
deployed these days?
Maybe more thank you think.
Some canned apps simply have not been certified with 10g.
We have deployed 10g here where feasable.
I have 1 app that simply will not work unless Oracle is 9.2.0.6.
