The build is not against a Oracle instance per say.
It is a built against an Oracle Client. So it works the same way SQLPlus or
any other SQL GUI Client.
So you can connect to any number of different versions of an Oracle DB. You
may run into problems with Client X and DB Y but that would be more an
Oracle bug than anything else.
Hope this helps
