Re: ** rollback

>>just trying to do the upgrade ASAP

hmmm ...

UNDO works fine, if you've done your homework then you can implement this. If not just go with rollback segs.

The next one is dicey, CBO has undergone material changes between 8i and 9i. You are better off gathering stats using dbms_stats and deal with any SQL issues that may arise.
If you are steadfast on not gathering stats and upgrading to 9i (you may want to verify what an upgrade does to the stats - I can't remember if the upgrade erases the stats), then consider setting OPTIMIZER_FEATURES_ENABLE to an appropriate value (check the reference guide).

Are you planning to bypass PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET as well? :--) sorry couldn't resist.
