I've got the lead in project of upgrading our most critical database
application from Oracle EE 8.1.6 to 9.2. Because I have no direct
experience with 9.2, I want to ask all of you here who already moved
to this version for your experiences, ideas etc.
My questions are especially:
- Which new features are really cool? I mean in reality, not on
marketing papers. What we should implement as soon as possible. Both
from programmer and from administrator point of view.
- What are traps and pitfalls of 9.2? Something we should be aware of
before running in productional environment.
- How works partitioning in 9.2? Is really solved the problem with
invalidating dependent objects while doing partition operations?
- How much time we need to spend learning our DBAs new administration
procedures?
I know that answers to some of questions above are in documentation.
And I already know these answers. However my experience of IT
professional taught me to believe more fellow IT sufferers than
oficial documentation. :-(
I will perform a lot of tests on my test server, before even starting
migration preparation, but I want to know on which parts I should
focus and also (of course) some time saving is always desirable.
Maybe some answers can also help others here, not just me, because I
think that lot of people across the world are right now in the same
situation.

Note: pagesflames_at_usa.net has been cancelled due to changes (maybe we
can call it an overture to bankruptcy) on that server. I'm still using
this email to prevent SPAM. Maybe one day I will change it and have a
proper mail even for news, but right now I can be reached by this
email.
