It depends upon: Read Metalink Dokument 159657.1.
Here are the main parts:
Upgrade path for Oracle 8.0: If your old release version is 8.0.5 or
less (i.e 8.0.4 or 8.0.3), then direct upgrade is NOT supported. You
must first upgrade this version to 8.0.6. After the upgrade to 8.0.6 or
your version IS 8.0.6 , you can directly upgrade your database to 9i.
Upgrade path for Oracle 8i: If your old release version is 8.1.5 or
8.1.6, then direct upgrade to Oracle 9.2 is NOT supported. You must
first upgrade this version to 8.1.7. After the upgrade to 8.1.7 or your
version IS 8.1.7, you can directly upgrade your database to Oracle 9.2.
However, if your target release is 9.0.1, direct upgrade from 8.1.5 and
8.1.6 is supported. If your old release is 8.0.5 or less, look at
[NOTE:133920.1] for manual upgrading the database to 8.0.6 or higher.
So you have to upgrade to 8.1.7 no major patch is neccessary.
