Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Would you use 9i?
Considering 1 year of development, I am hoping it wouldn't be bleeding edge at release.

given this, I'd definitely develop in 9i, since fallback to 8.1.7 would require testing but not recoding.
good luck and let us know -- I hate living on the bleeding edge :)
