Compatibility between clients and geodatabases in DB2 when using an ArcSDE service

You can connect from an ArcGIS 9.3.x, 10, or 10.1 client to a same release geodatabase using an ArcSDE service. You can also connect from an ArcGIS 10 or 10.1 client to an older geodatabase using an ArcSDE service and from an ArcGIS 10 client to a 10.1 geodatabase.

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.
