My theory as a DBA is to perform tasks in a manner that is least likely to cause bad consequences. Is there any way export/import would work for you? I have a much warmer feeling about using that to relocate my important data. Just create a new 9i database, check it out, make sure it is ready to go, practice the export/import, then perform the cutover. Much less to go wrong.
