I understand the relucance. So lets ask the question ... has anyone had the experience of moving to 10g and had a problem that caused them to stop or move back to 9i?

Every app I have moved from 9i to 10g, two so far this year both large very large have been rock solid and yielded substantial performance gains.

So does anyone have an example of a good reason not to move based on experience rather than fear of the unknown?
