Client driver and server version compatibility

Backward compatibility between OpenText™ Analytics Database server and client drivers works in both directions.

The database server is compatible with all previous versions of client drivers, and all new client drivers are compatible with most versions of Vertica server. This compatibility lets you upgrade your database server without having to immediately upgrade your client software and use new client software with older versions of the database. Occasionally, however, individual features of a new server version might not be available through older drivers.
