What is the JDBC driver compatibility matrix?

GOAL:

Is it possible to use a single ODBC/JDBC driver to connect to the different database versions ?

FACT(s) (Environment):

Progress 9.1x
OpenEdge 10.x
All Supported Operating Systems

FIX:

The JDBC/ODBC driver and the database have to be from the same Progress/OpenEdge version.
So for example, only a Progress 9.1E JDBC/ODBC client is supported against a Progress 9.1E database. A Progress 9.1D JDBC/ODBC client would not be supported against a Progress 9.1E database or vice versa. The reason is that unlike with 4GL clients, sometimes the SQL-92 communication layer is changed between minor versions as well. Some of these mixed version configurations might work, but Progress does not explicitly do any testing on this and thus cannot guarantee that it will work.
