Oracle guarantees that all clients will always be able to connect to newer
versions
of the database. I've seen that stated in an ML note or something, but
can't recall
just where.
IAC, we have Oracle 7 clients connecting to 11g databases.
Works just fine.
Going the other direction however, a client will not likely be able to
connect
to any database that is > 2 versions behind.
10g for instance cannot connect to a 7.x database.
