QUESTION POSED ON: 24 May 2002
I am trying to find some information on the differences between Oracle 8.1.7 and Oracle 9i. I need to know which features from 8.1.7 are still supported in 9i, and which ones aren't. I had a look in the Oracle Web site, but there doesn't seem to be a single comprehensive document to refer to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

>

The Oracle Migration Guide is a good source to find lists of features for the particular version as well as changes to parameters, functions, dynamic performance views etc. The Migration Guide for Oracle 9i can be found on TechNet at: http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/901_doc/server.901/a90191.pdf. There is also a New Features Guide that discusses all the new features of the product, lists desupported/deprecated features for the version and also includes a brief listing of new features added in the previous 1 or 2 versions. This guide can be found at: http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/901_doc/server.901/a90120.pdf.

Hope that helps!
