Result

Remarks

Server Version > Client Version 
(5.3.3 and or above)

6.3.1

5.3.3

Succeeds

Backward compatibility is supported for 5.3.3 and or above.

Server Version > Client Version 
(5.3.1 and or below) 

6.3.1

4.3.9

Fails

Backward compatibility is supported only if the version of both the server and client is 5.3.3 and or above.
