This will absolutely work! In fact, if you check the
Oracle 9i migration guide, this is one of the approved
migration paths. In order to go to 9.2.0, you'd have
to first upgrade to either 8.1.7 or 9.0.1. If you want
to skip this interim step, then export/import is your
only alternative. Another upside is that you can
change OS platforms at the same time you upgrade. The
downside is that importing a large database can take a
long time.
I'll leave you with two pieces of advice to ensure
your transition is smoother. First, use the Oracle 7
export utility, but the Oracle 9i import utility.
Second, if you are transferring the dump file to
another server, make sure you FTP the fine in binary
mode.
