SQL Tips and Tricks

Earlier I wrote an article about Detecting Current Version of MySQL Server Installation. After the post quite a few emails I received where various users suggested that there are many more ways to figure out the version of MySQL. Here are few of the methods which I received in the email.

Method 1:

This method retrieves value with the help of Information Functions.


SELECT VERSION();

SQL Server Management Studio showing version information.

Method 2:

This method is very similar to SQL Server.


SELECT @@Version

Database version selection.

Method 3:

You can connect to MySQL with command prompt and type following command:

STATUS;

Displaying mysqld status information.

Method 4:

Please refer my earlier blog post.


SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "%version%";

Version information in sql server 2014.

Let me know if you know any more method and I will extend this blog post.

    Curious results when using:
    SELECT @@VERSION AS [SQL Version Info];

    SELECT SERVERPROPERTY(‘productversion’), SERVERPROPERTY (‘productlevel’), SERVERPROPERTY (‘edition’)

    Option one returns info that suggest we are on SP2 – whereas the second option returns the correct SP (4)
