I have a requirement to connect to oracle database for this I am using OCCI as programming language. I would like is there any restriction on which client version can be used for a corresponding database i.e. Database to which I am connecting is at version 10.1.0.4. Now can I used 11 Client?

Oracle client versions are generally backward compatible. Unless the server is too old. As long as it is a version greater then 10 it should be fine.

Have a look at the link below. There is a matrix showing interoperability details between client and server versions.
