If you are talking about the Oracle features in 9i that aren't there in
8i then migrating in place won't make you "loose" any features.
I feel that the migrate in place is much easier and seamless then the
export/import method that invariably involves additional tweaking.
As far as move data around you could do that as a separate process after
the migrate in-place. I usually opt not to change too many things at
once. =20

Subject: Migrating 8i to 9i
If one migrates in place, and it's what one may call a "plain production
database", no "fancy" stuff, etc. from 8.1.7.4 to 9.2.x (as it may be
another month or two), are any options lost?
=20
These are 1-2 TB and we may be moving to another server and a SAN/fiber
back plane environment.
=20
This may be a point where we could temporarily get new disks or simply
move the disks from the one server to the other and then convert to 9i.
=20
I could do a lot more "neat stuff" if I could do export/import but at
the size, I don't know if we would have the time. For instance, instead
of 12-18 "disks" I may have 2-4 600GB "disks" as it were, etc.
=20
They are supposed to have a huge Hitachi SAN that auto balances the load
and if it sees the load is on one tray and it's too heavy will
eventually migrate some of the data to another tray without the
knowledge of the Unix box. I don't get that heavy into the "guts" of
them so not exactly sure how this happens.
=20
But other than that, if I don't export/import, do I "lose" any features.
Tablespaces are almost all LOCAL and UNIFORM extents, usually 10 or 100
meg.
