DB2 Database for Linux, UNIX, and Windows and IBM Data Server
Driver for JDBC and SQLJ levels
The IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ is upward compatible with the
next version of a DB2 database if the applications under which the driver runs use
no new features. For example, IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ type 4
connectivity from the IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ version 2.x,
which is shipped with DB2 for z/OS Version 8, to a DB2 for z/OS Version 9.1
database is supported, if the applications under which the driver runs contain no
DB2 for z/OS Version 9.1 features.
IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ type 4 connectivity to IBM Informix
Dynamic Server is supported only for IDS Version 11 and later.
Compatibility for IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ type
2 connectivity
In general, IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ type 2 connectivity is
intended for connections to the local database system, using the driver version that
is shipped with that database version. For example, version 3.5x of the IBM Data
Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ is shipped with DB2 Database for Linux, UNIX,
and Windows Version 9.5 and DB2 for z/OS Version 8 and Version 9.1.
However, for IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ type 2 connectivity to a
local DB2 Database for Linux, UNIX, and Windows database, the database version
can be one version earlier or one version later than the DB2 Database for Linux,
UNIX, and Windows version with which the driver was shipped. For IBM Data
Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ type 2 connectivity to a local DB2 for z/OS
subsystem, the subsystem version can be one version later than the DB2 for z/OS
version with which the driver was shipped.
If the database version to which your applications are connecting is later than the
database version with which the driver was shipped, the applications cannot use
features of the later database version.
