We use Oracle JDBC Driver 9.2.0 with Oracle 11g and we have problems like hotspot errors etc. Do you think JDBC drivers are upward compatible? Unfortunately I could not find any compatibility matrix for these versions

Thanks Zoltan

    The 9.2.0 driver must be 10 years old by now, why not just upgrade to a newer driver? – Mark Rotteveel Oct 17 '14 at 08:06
  • In my experience the 9.x drivers were all pretty buggy and slow. Since 10.x (even more so with 11.x) the driver became *much* better. And as a general rule of thumb the driver version should match the database version. –  Oct 17 '14 at 08:08
  • We had these problems as well. It seems that there were some major changes from oracle 9-10-11 I would strongly advise ensuring your db driver is the same as the db. Oracle is usually very good at backwards compatibility but we also issues with the 11 driver accessing a 9 db – Josh Oct 17 '14 at 08:08
  • #Mark - we would like to upgrade, but now we just want to know whether using version can cause problems we have or not – HamoriZ Oct 17 '14 at 11:29
