Geraldo, Thanks for the advice. It's interesting that the Migration manual states something like the only difference between 32 and 16 bit is the PL/SQL compiled code - there is no difference in the data files. Since it all gets recompiled anyway, I was wondering why we could not go directly to 64 bit.
Thanks to everyone who responded to my original question.

Don't quote me though, because all the documentation I have seen says that you have to first go from 32-bit 8.1.7 to 32-bit 9.2.0.1 and then to 64-bit 9.2.0.1. I think Oracle is just being extra cautious here. I have recently upgraded (manual upgrade) a dev database from 32-bit 8.1.7 to 64-bit 9.2.0.1 (directly) and so far have not seen anything unusual.

I'm looking at migrating to 9.2/64 bit and noticed that I cannot directly migrate a 32bit version to 64 bit.
