The Database The database is still 8.X. Releases that change tables or jobs/processes are still Banner 8. Banner 8 releases are not always accompanied by a Banner 9 upgrade. Banner 9 releases don’t always require a Banner 8 (database) upgrade.
What is Banner 9? Banner 9 webpages replaced Banner 8 Oracle forms. Both of these are just interfaces that we use to look at the database. Banner 9 is truly a set of webpages with links to the database. Job submission changed but not in look and feel. Banner 8.35 needs 9.3.13 because new or updated Banner 9 pages (links) are included: RPRSHOP, REREX20, etc.
