Currently, i am doing my 8i instead of 9i. Most of the company are still using version 8 or 8i. Only new setup company will go for 9i instead.

My company is using 8i and MS SQL Server 2000. But, we have no plan to go for 9i. Wait and see if there's any further changes. As long the database is working fine, i dun see any reason, we need to move up to the next version. Unless there's a requirement and needs.

I will opt for 8i,but it's depend on individual mindsets.
