I always thought that, for avoiding communication problems, the Oracle
JDBC Driver version should match the Oracle Database version (at least
the first 2 digits).

Then I encountered this assertion:

<<<
Another very important conclusion: the versions of the Oracle JDBC
driver and the Oracle database are not tied together. Oracle JDBC Driver
10gR2 can be used with any supported database version so there is no
good reason for not using the latest version of the JDBC drivers, even
for organisations working with 8i or 9i databases .
