Appendix C. HiRDB Client and HiRDB Server Connectivity

HiRDB clients and HiRDB servers can be connected even though their versions or platforms are different. Tables C-1 and C-2 show HiRDB client and server connectivity.

A HiRDB server and a HiRDB client that have the right connectivity might not be able to actually connect if the client does not support compatible character encodings.
