Policies for Linking and Relinking Applications

Oracle Corporation recommends that you upgrade your client software to match the current server software. For example, if you upgrade your Oracle server to release 1 (9.0.1), then Oracle corporation recommends upgrading the client software to release 1 (9.0.1) as well. Keeping the server and client software at the same release number ensures the maximum stability for your applications. In addition, the latest Oracle client software may provide added functionality and performance enhancements that were not available with previous releases.
