I prefer to "upgrade" by creating a fresh new 10g database and using
exp/imp to move the data from the old database to the new one.  That's
how I did my 8.0.6 > 10.2.0.2 upgrade/migration and it was problem-free.
As long as the extra downtime isn't a concern, this is the best way to
go in my opinion.  We had a big debate on this list a few (maybe
several) months ago on upgrading vs. exp/imp so you might want to search
the archives for that.  As you've found, there are some big bugs when
upgrading so I prefer to avoid those and just start with a sparkly
clean, fresh smelling, new & improved 10g database rather than a bunch
of crap left over from versions 8, 8i and 9i that might not have been
cleaned up properly and are more likely to cause problems during the
current upgrade, or future upgrades.
 
Regards,
Brandon

I'm working on an upgrade from 9.2.0.8 to 10.2.0.2  
 
Just wondering how many others have seen similar issues and how they
regained confidence in the core structure.
