Compatibility between clients and geodatabases in Oracle when using an ArcSDE service

You can connect from an ArcGIS 10 client to an older geodatabase using an ArcSDE service.

If you are using an ArcGIS 9.2 Service Pack 5 or 6 client, you can use an ArcSDE service to connect to an ArcSDE 9.3 or 9.3.1 geodatabase.

NoteNote:

Connections from a previous version client to a version 10 geodatabase are not supported.

The following is a table that summarizes which clients and geodatabases are interoperable when using an ArcSDE service to connect. Following that are some of the rules that apply to the available interoperable connections.
