RE: database degrade ???

Create a clone of 8.1.7 database (using cold backup or hot backup). Connect to the clone under 8.1.7 environment. Review and run Oracle's downgrade script $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/d080150.sql.
Shutdown the clone.
Create appropriate init.ora for the clone's 8.1.5 incarnation.. Setup env for 8.1.5 for clone. Adjust oratab, listener.ora etc. Startup the clone under 8.1.5.
You may want to re-run catalog, catproc scripts..
