Hi

v$sga_resize_ops show 1-2 resize operations a day, so no problem there

Only way to get the original 9i environment back now is to restore a backup, which is not yet a path we want to go down.

As I said we upgraded test first and it was tested for quite a while before we were cleared to upgrade production. Just this is is one of processes was obviously not tested fully.
