Re: Anyone tried connecting to 10.1 DB from 11.2 client?

I opened an SR to ask my question, which went something like this:

Me:  11.2 client to 10.1 DB is not supported.  What specifically doesn't work?
OS:  11.2 client is not supported to connect to 10.1 DB.
Me:  I know that, but I need to know the specifics of *why*.
OS:  We do not know why.
Me:  Close SR without solution
OS:  Close/No fault found

I was also able to get an 11.2 instance client to successfully connect and interact with our dev 10.1 DB. But the end story is that I'm not allowing an 11.2 client to connect to our 10.1 Production instance. I'm going to investigate the more painful testing route in the interest of Production integrity and uptime.

Thanks to everyone for their feedback!
