we plan to upgrade to 8.4 the next time but currently everything is
build with 8.1. thanks for your awnsers, so we wont try it.
but i think we will wait till 8.5 because of the 64 bit problem.

we did not upgrade because 81 has autocast and later version doesn't, so
we need to check all our statements and triggers/stored procedures wich
is currently in work.
