They are not incompatible by definition. It is more a technical limitation then 
a real hard incompatibility. I understand that a "configuration error" would be 
nice and dandy but where to start and where to stop? I mean what conditions do 
trap a "configuration error" and which one are not going to trap a 
"configuration error"? The possibilities for making errors in the configuration 
are endless and a procedure to check them all would be huge. Hard configuration 
errors are anyway trapped and DSPAM will refuse to run/work/process/whatever if 
you set some options. But the above mentioned condition is more or less a 
technical limitation and as time passes it could be easily happen that a new 
release of the RDBMS could cope with the load of SBPH.
I personally would not extend the current code to check each and every (stupid) 
combination of options. Some things are better left to be done outside by 
humans then internally by code. But that's my personal opinion. I don't own 
DSPAM. It's a tool for us all. If the majority of the user base would like to 
have that extended error checking then we could look to implement it in the 
next release after 3.9.0. Depending on how the checking is done it could be 
however that the checking is going to eat some processing time when using 
DSPAM. For me that would be a big no-go. I am all for trapping hard 
configuration errors but leaving the soft configuration errors to be resolved 
by the user/admin using DSPAM.
