8i doesn't support inheritance, object schemes are somewhat limited (eg you cannot have embedded collections of collections, you have to use "references"), schema evolution is severely limited (eg you cannot change an object type if there exists tables based on that object type).

If you have written your application in C++ you will have to take a look at the Object Type Translator that creates a C++ mapping for a given object type in Oracle.

Hope this helps.
