We still have an 8.1.5 database as well as two 8.1.7.4 and one 9.2.04 databases. We are planning on upgrading our 8i databases this year. The rate we are going it probably will be two years before we get to 10g.

That would be a very courageous thing to do. I'm not sure that 10g
will be stable enough for a big production database in 2 years. Experience with 9i tells us that nothing before 9.2.0.4 was not
fit for a real production use. If I remember correctly, 9i is out
for more then 2 years now. Have in mind that 10g is the first version
that was written almost entirely outside of the US. I wouldn't rush
into upgrading to 10g, if I were you. And the rumor is that 10g is
so unstable that even with the standards lowered so much, Oracle
doesn't want to release like that.
