-3.x.x           |                    11 | supported

+The version of a Virtual Schema consists of two parts. The first part is the version of the [Virtual Schema JDBC](https://github.com/exasol/virtual-schema-common-jdbc/releases), the common basis that all JDBC-based Virtual Schemas share. Whereas the second part is the version of the Virtual Schema itself.
+
+Thus the JAR filename of a Virtual Schema release complies with the following format:
+
+    virtual-schema-dist-<Virtual Schema JDBC Version>-<Virtual  Schema Name>-<Virtual Schema Version>.jar
+
+For example, the JAR filename of the [Oracle Virtual Schema 2.0.0 release](https://github.com/exasol/oracle-virtual-schema/releases/tag/2.0.0), which is based on the [9.0.1 version of Virtual Schema JDBC](https://github.com/exasol/virtual-schema-common-jdbc/releases/tag/9.0.1), is:
+
+    virtual-schema-dist-9.0.1-oracle-2.0.0.jar
+
+The version of the Virtual Schema JDBC on which a Virtual Schema is based also tells you whether it is in supported or discontinued, as shown in the following table:
+

+6.x.x                       |                    11 | discontinued
+5.x.x                       |                    11 | discontinued

+1.x.x                       |                     8 | discontinued

+Please update your Virtual Schema to a supported version before writing tickets or contacting the Exasol Support.
