Upgrade to 9.1 into production servers is not na option.
It will take about a year before I can migrate all databases and establish
replication and everything else (probably, Christams Holidays in December or
Carnival in February next).
Some users demand 24x7 from this databases, I can't just say "stop for
one-two hour".
Thanks for the tip, I'll give a try for both funtions and let you know the
results. Would save time for future...

Edson.
