Completing a brief study for our systems.

What are the technical differences between Oracle 10g and Oracle 9i? Is
there a list some out there somewhere?

Can Oracle 10g and Oracle 9i co-exist on the same network? and
communicate?
 
Does anyone know the Life cycle for Oracle 9i?

Sure. They can also coexist on the same network with 8i, 8, 7.x, 6.x,
5.x, MS-SQL, UDB, MS-Access, B-Trieve, MySQL, Word Perfect, Lotus
Notes, IIS, Photo Shop, .....  (see a principle developing here?)

with each other?  Yes.  I've never known two 'adjacent versions' of
Oracle not be able to communicate with each other.

MetaLink --> Certify --> Desupport Notices

The following document lists the new features in 10g that are not 
available in 9i:

Yes. They can even coexist on the same server.

The latest and greatest version of 9i is 9.2.0.7. The 9.2.0.8 patchset 
is slated to be the terminal patchset for 9i. According to Metalink Note 
190435.1, Error Correction Support for 9.2 will end 1 July 2007.

HTH,
Brian

I recall V5 did not have networking yet? Or am I mistaken it for V4?

Possibly.  But that wouldn't preclude it from simply "existing" on the
network, nor would it preclude it from co-existing with anything else
that happend to live on the network.  Hence, my reference to
non-Oralcle database products, and even non-database products.  It
would be an astoundingly poor product that would give a flying fig what
other products may happen to be 'on the network.'

Though I have seen some MS products that came close!  ;-)

But those are not networking products. WordPerfect is not a networked
product, whereas
a 2-tier or 3-tier prodcut *is*. WP is not, as Oracle V5 was not.

But to the OP: rest assured: even TCP and UDP packets fly around on the
same network without problems (most of the time)
