Looks like I should have checked the docs first.
I just tested this using 10g to register in a 9i repository.
The reason for me stating that the upgrade was necessary was probably
due to issues encountered (bugs) that prevented a higher version of oracle
from creating a catalog in a lower version of Oracle.
I don't recall the exact issue, but ever since, I just upgrade the catalog
database
when newer versions need to use it.
Thanks for the correction.
