Re: rman repository

I never thought it was that strict but thought maybe this changed with 11G but....

I did a quick check and according to this link

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28273/compat003.htm

If I understand this correctly.......you can use any database version > 9.0.1 for your catalog as long as you use the RMAN binaries from 11 and the catalog is created using those binaries.
