no not necessarily. if they used features like
bitmapped indexes
partitions
object types
context
among a others, the 'Oracle8' database won't be able to work with the data.
the oracle8 database won't do the partitioned tables, so the import of these will fail.
the oracle8 database won't do the bitmapped index, so these will fail.
and so on.
You'll need to find out what features they are using specifically to see if it will work.
