I donot see any downside to this. On the upside see if you can enhance replication with the new features that might have been provided with 9i.

Hi,

   I would like to know if there are any known issues or tasks to be done in case of oracle upgrade from 8i to 9i for advanced replication. Any issues with data types or known performance problems. Thanks for  your help.
