Casey:
We went to 7.2 as soon as it came out. We were at 7.1.6. Just read chapter
8 of the Server Migration guide on the documentation CD. Follow
everything to the letter, DO NOT SKIP ANY STEPS and you'll be OK.
7.2 is a very definite improvement. Creating indexes is much faster, creating table AS SELECT is many times faster. Something we make a lot of use of is dynamically executing SQL from within PL/SQL with DBMS_SQL.
You may want to consider taking the New Features course Oracle offers.
