IBM data server clients and drivers enhancements

Some IBM data server clients and drivers have been enhanced with new and improved features that improve application performance and reliability.

To make use of Version 10.5 features, you must upgrade to a Version 10.5 IBM® data server client or driver.

In general, you can use DB2® Version 10.1, Version 9.7 and Version 9.5 clients and drivers for running applications, developing applications, and performing database administration tasks on DB2 Version 10.5. Likewise, you can use Version 10.5 clients and drivers for running applications, developing applications, and performing administrative tasks on DB2 Version 10.1, Version 9.8, Version 9.7, and Version 9.5 servers. However, the functionality available can differ based on the combination of the version levels used on the server and client (or driver).
