Question/Problem Description
When upgrading client software, is it necessary to also upgrade the Connect for ODBC drivers?

Error Message
Defect Number
Enhancement Number
Cause
Resolution
Generally, the Connect for ODBC drivers do not need to be upgraded when upgrading client software, such as an Oracle server that connects to other database types.  The client software loads and makes ODBC calls that the driver handles.  As long as the upgraded client software continues to make supported ODBC function calls to the driver, the driver should work as it did with the previous version of the client.
