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.
