You have probably seen this document. If you have and it didn't help, I apologize.

'What are the supported platforms for Crystal Enterprise 8.5?'

http://support.businessobjects.com/library/kbase/articles/c2011138.asp

According to the document, Oracle 9i IS a supported database server for the Crystal Enterprise 8.5 platform.

You definitely might try the ODBC driver. It cannot hurt.

The document below can help with the driver/version cross-referencing and has great examples for using Oracle stored procs.

Also, what client version are you using to hit the Oracle 9i DB?

Let me know and I'll keep looking on this end.
