How to verify the version of SQL Server

Use this query to verify the details on the SQL Server:

SELECT
SERVERPROPERTY(‘ProductVersion’) AS ProductVersion,
SERVERPROPERTY(‘ProductLevel’) AS ProductLevel,
SERVERPROPERTY(‘Edition’) AS Edition;

Of course, there are other ways, but the above is the most ‘coherent’.

Other convenient methods:

• SELECT @@VERSION

• Check the file version of sqlservr.exe
