I am planning on bringing our 8.3 installation up to 9.0.4. First I upgraded the jdbc driver on our staging environment, after 1 month on staging, we tested with the 9.0 driver on production. The actual database upgrade will be more complicated, and we are going to simulate an upgrade on a non-production environment first to help anticipate problems.
Going from 8.0 to 9.0 could be a lot more complicated. But I'd recommend planning to upgrade pieces incrementally and of course always test before pushing to production.
