Can 11.0 client connect client-server to 10.2B DB?

I have done this successfully, but I am looking for an official word somewhere in the Getting Started docs or release notes. Does anyone know if this is officially supported?
 
The official policy has been that the client must be at the same release, or 1 higher, than the db server ever since the dark ages.
 
Thanks, that's what I thought. I had heard that that might change this time around, that even remote (11.0) clients would not be able to connect to a DB until it was upgraded from version 10 to 11.
 
11.0 is the first version to not be able to connect to 9.1D (possibly also 9.1E). Our translat database has been running on 9.1D for years.
 
You can use app servers to cross multi-version boundaries.

Thanks, I'm aware of this but its a bit hard compiling code over the boundary. :-) The translat database is the translation manager database that is used to put translated strings into the r-code when compiling with the LANGUAGES option.
