I would first update to 8.1.13, then go on.

Anysay, Read the release notes, and check for any possible
incompatibility issues.

I believe you should first check the casting changes in 8.3 .

Hehe i upgraded from 7.4 to 8.3.3 and it was a big pain,
but since i survived i'd say 8.1.9->8.3.3 is at least safe!
It all depends on the quality (standard-wise) of the original SQL code however.
